When The Rain Comes

When the rain comes, the foot feels too heavy to go to college. With a heavy heart while I was too lazy to campus, but when he reached the alley home to wait for public transport which usually take me to the campus, the rain was getting heavier. It would be nice if I shelter first. Then I decided to choose a shelter near a doorway until the rain subsided somewhat. Saturated with feelings and remain faithful waiting for the rain to subside my eyes were drawn to accidentally saw a frail man whose existence is not far from me.

I was interested in what was in doing it. After a long time I observed it turns out the man was frail even then is collecting used beverage bottles that are in the trash and the streets. Very little heart to feel pity and sorry to the frail male figure. Supposedly the elderly as it rested in the house, because the conditions do not allow it to work. However, the situation was even turned to life, without feeling tired for the rest of the men still walking in heavy rain to collect the bottles back.

The figure of a man walking up to the end of the alley and the figure disappeared from sight. Then I pondered what I saw earlier. How can someone who is age 40 years or less adrift from me, still with his enthusiasm for doing his job, to the point of willingly exposed to rain. While I were only to seek knowledge for myself and for my future, just as the rain did not want to go to college. Just because I'm lazy rainy lectures device.

Finally I realized something that I do now is wrong. I made a promise to myself to study hard. Not lazy college and university classes well. So that later all that I've fought in college can be beneficial to my future. The ideals that I want can be achieved.

The rain died down and the vehicle was not long before I waiting  come. With strong embroidery and the promises I made to myself I established my steps. Finally I rushed off to college with more vigor. And in my heart I said, "thank God for today's lesson".
