As a student in the university you will discover a lot of people, those that make you happy, sad and angry because it is full of different lifestyles and characters. As for me I have met with a lot of students that make me happy and very few that made me angry. But there is this particular annoying moment where my own roommate made me angry and I was out of control.

This was what happened, there has not been a power supply for over three weeks in the school hostel, which all hostel students were suffering from and not happy about the situation at the moment, so we use to charge our phones, laptops and power banks paying money which is not included in the spending budget. So the power supply was later restored and everyone in the hostel stream of joy, luckily for me I was the only one in the room that moment so I brought out my socket I plug in my phone and power bank.

So it was time for football I had to dress up and go to the field leaving my phone in the room to charge because if the power supply isn't interrupted my phone will be fully charged. Two hours later when I came back from the field and entered the room I saw my phone plugged out with my roommate phone charging on my charger.

At first I was thinking my phone is fully charged only to check it and see that it is just 17 percent honesty that get me really angry and quarrel him over it I nearly give him a slap before other hostel student come between us to separate. After the quarrel I plugged in my phone again then not up to 5 minutes the power supply was interrupted.

As a child growing up their are some memories that can never be wrap off from ones head one of which the discipline of parents most especially in Africa. The last time I remembered fully well that I was being flogged and yelled at by my parents was five years ago, and the flogging and yelling worth it.

On a beautiful sunshining Monday morning when students are going to school I also dressed up saying I am going to school but deep down inside me I will stop along the way change my clothes and play football with other unserious students like me. As I was enjoying the football I don't know that it was a parent and teacher day in school where parents will come and check on their children performance in school unluckily for me my mother went to our school but I wasn't in school the teacher say they thought I wasn't feeling fine then my mom said I left home for school this morning,then she returned home.

When it was closing hour I washed my legs put on my uniform so I returned home, I met my mom at the entrance I greeted she answered me she did not panic I could not even suspect anything either she even gave me food to eat not knowing what is coming ahead of me in the night.

When my dad comes back from work it was almost time for bed already then my mom locked all the door and increased the music volume so that neighbors cannot intervene she beat the hell out of me first I cried before she then ask me where did I go to that I wasn't in school that was when the round two of the beating began. I can never forget that day in my life ever since then I only play football on Saturdays.

Unless one wants to lie we must have embarrassing moments in a lifetime most especially in public but my own was worst it happened in my school graduation during a presentation on debate titled a doctor is more better than a farmer I opposed the motion due to some reasons but during the presentation, I forgot almost all I have in my script.

I was stuck on stage and I couldn't say anything again not because I did not read or practice it but because I was scared of looking at people's eyes I lack public speaking skills then so I disgrace myself that it took me weeks to get over it. But today even if it is an exercise book presentation I am going to do it because I have trained myself.

Some people had a bad past which they cannot forget in their life even me too. My own is very bad because it delayed my education. I broke my leg when playing football as I kid growing up which took several years before it gets heal completely
