My brother had always wanted to be on top of his class. But everytime the ten best pupils of every section were announced, his name would never be called by his class adviser. However, though he never got the top of the list, he never had a failing grade.
My brother had never any ill-spent moment in his life. He bore in mind that everyday of his life must be well-spent. So, he practiced responsibility and honesty as key words in his life. He had wished that one day, he could bring honor to our family.
When the school year ended, our parents, were invited by his class adviser for a conference. To their surprise, they were told that my brother would be awarded "Best In Conduct" during the graduation ceremony. So my parents attend the rites.
My brother , may jot have made it o the academic honor roll of 10 in his class, but as far as he was concerned, the "Best In Conduct" award was more than what he had aspired. He remembered this line from a poem which he studied in class, " If you cannot be a tree, then be the best little shrub by the side of the hill". Minsan kasi guys kahit hindi ibigay yong gusto natin magpasalamat parin tayo kasi minsan mas mataas pa don ang nakukuha natin thankyou guys for reading
I would day the best your brother can be is a good human. I think he is since you write about him. I like the saying. There's no need for all of us to be a tree a shrub is needed too. 👍
