My classmate Chitra is a nice lady.
She approached the department to allow her to audit her courses.
She attends classes everyday and gains knowledge through discussion.
I like Chitra, she seems honest.
She doesn't hold grudges when talking about cultural issues especially in Malaysia. I think she gives fair opinions. It's reflected each time she speaks out.
When everyone else seems so busy to assert themselves in this country, busy telling the world what they deserve the most, busy being angry, busy positioning themselves so people would hear them, busy commenting on other's weaknesses, Chitra only sees goodness. The other day she talked about humanity, and a fellow classmate disregarded her opinion. very unkind.
Chitra has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She is also a teacher. She is now on medical leave. She is a Malaysian. But an Indian by ancestry. But this doesn't seem to bother her so much, like it bothers the rest of the class.
Her eyes shine with her sincerity as well as her words spoken to the rest of the class.
I hope there are more non-judgmental people around me, so I can disentangle myself and be more like Chitra.
There are many ways, God can tell you to reflect.
