A man, who was walking in front of me, dropped a $20 bill on the street. I had a good chance to take that because there was no one else on the road and there was no way anyone could see me and suspect me for taking that.
But as usual, at the moment I realized that something fell from the man’s pocket, I said, “excuse me, you dropped something.” And then the man picked up his money, said, “Oh, thanks”, and carried on walking.
I did this and I would not do anything else on this type of case, because the person would come back and check for his stuffs. I know how sad it is to loose something. And I do not want to make this obvious by taking someone else’s things.
Just I thought that you would be happy to know; today I saw my classmate’s eraser underneath her bench just after she left the class a moment before me. I picked that up, called her and give the eraser to her.

Talking with !?!
I leave my e-mail address on anything that appears on the computer's screen randomly. It's just because I always don't have time to read them and at the same time I don't want to miss any oppurtunity.
However, I just signed in my e-mail account and a new window appeared on the screen saying me that a live agent is on the line and want to talk to you. If you want to accept this offer, click here. I was free at that time, so I decided to chat with the Live agent and I was thinking to take an interview of the agent too.
On another screen, words were appearing randomly and quickly, so quickly that I couldn't even read. I just read one small line. "Please type Hi or Hello on the screen bellow and we can get started." I thought, then to whom were you writing for the last 10 secons?!?
Jessica.. something was the name of the agent. Typing to me "Thanks","Welcome","You've made a good decision" (I could not even remember what dicision!),"This costs no money"...etc.
I looked at the list on the side and then remembered. I wrote, "I am living in Canada. It's not in the "state" on the form and it's not a state. I'm confused."
For the first time, it took some seconds before typing the next thing on the screen,"Sorry, this oppurtunity is only for those who live in the U.S."
Me: "Thank you for providing me this information. I'll try to tell someone about this who live in U.S"
Jessica...:(After some seconds)"Sorry, for this time I can not provide you any information other than processing."
I thought it's ok.
Jessica..:(After some moments)"I am a virtual agent"
O man! These, the shortest line typed by Jessica, THE LIVE AGENT made me astonished and dumb!
I wrote: "Thanks anyway, I understand that."

Forbidden Friendship!
Today I went to an another school, not as a visitor, but as a student. Yes, that is my third school in Canada in 1.08(approx) year.
However, I went to the school, their was a topic of discussion on a person whom I've recently met and liked.
Well, as common, I mentioned my English teacher of my second school(he is also your teacher? what a co-incident!). But sad enough, I had to lie about him, just because no man is perfect, all have some...,you know.
Here's the interesting thing. New teacher told us that we can describe physical properties too. Truly, I didn't say anything about physical properties. I was just thinking about what I said him today about his hair and red face(I did not mention "white") and his reaction and smiling.
Moreover, the bad thing is new teacher told us that teachers are forbidden to make friendship with students. It shocked me. It is because of the fact that if teachers make students their friend, students, specially who are teenager, may not respect them or respect them as a friend, in another word, as a close friend whom they call by nick name, slap on the sholdier and more about that. Now, I've thought about these examples, my new teacher did not tell me these.
If your choice is to be a teacher, remember that you have to be a good actor or journalist. There are some conditions that are given to a teacher." You are responsible for making students able to understand, you must be close to them to understand their mind and their problems and must try your best to solve them, you have to be friendly with them, BUT make sure that you are not allowed to make them your friend."
Shocking, ha. That's true. Truth is shocking and life is true.

Sound of Belford!
A leading teacher of Winston Churchill Collegiate Institute is Mr. David Belford. Students know him as the computer teacher. He is also the chief of the computer club and greatly involved in the yearbook program.
“There are just so many things to do as a teacher that are no time to do other things”, he said.
Belford has finished his education profoundly on graphing designing. “Though I am a computer teacher, I don’t have huge knowledge on computer; my subject was graphic designing.” He also has a business on this.
Belford does not treat teaching as a job only. “Not that it’s a job, I’m not making a lot of money out of it. I like it because I like to help these students to go forward; and they need a teacher to teach them.”
Belford has become well known to all students, not just to his direct students. It is because he lets any student into his assign room and uses the computers.
“I’ve no issue with what they are doing, they may do their works or anything else” Belford explains.
He does not judge it adverse to watch non-educational programs or do Internet chatting on these computers. “Well, if its class time, I’d say no; but at lunch, it’s their time, they can spend it as they wish. Some are just enjoying their traditional programs, nothing wrong with that. As a student I used to do these too.”
My bike
It's true that there is no time for leisure. But if there were time and not much stuff to carry to school, Belford would like to ride his bike every morning for coming to school. “That would be environmentally friendly too, but that’s not possible.” he mentioned despondently.
Love Pop music
Belford can play guitar and is capable of recording music. He sometimes writes song too. “I thought to write a song about this school.”
He gave up to be become a musician because he found it hard to communicate and create an attitude of an artiste. “It’s not easy to look for people in the street who would support you and walk along with you.”
Music or bike
If Belford had more leisure time, he would like to write music in the park with his bike beside him. “I have some friends, who can play piano and other organs. I’d call them and make my own band group.
“Probably I would play guitar while riding on the bike.” said Belford cheerfully.
Belford is accomplishing his responsibility as a helpful person. “I’d like the students to know that I am here because I want to help them.”
“There are just so many things to do as a teacher that are no time to do other things”, he said.

New Name of My Own
My name was Sayma from my childhood, untill my father asked me 2 questions.
One day, my father came to me whiile I was wathing T.V. and asked me, "Ma, how do you spell say ?"
Weird question. I did not expect this question from my father.
Anyhow, I answered, "s-a-y".
"Then why do you spell your name s-a-y-ma? It should be Sha-i-ma."
Then my father went to the government's office and changed my name. Till now, I cannot believe that My Name has been changed.
