Just another day

*"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it."* -*Bruce Lee* https://www.wow4u.com/quote-of-the-day/ The best thing you would ever give to yourself is your true self and not pretending to be someone else. We all have got gifts in us and if someone could exercise his or her gift to become successful, why can´t you? No one was born successful, they had to go through many processes to get to their dreams. Another beautiful thing is believing in yourself and having the faith that you can do it. Social media is one of the place that can influence us positively and negatively, it is our choice. We may decide to see a person excelling and choose to follow his or her steps, so also, you can try faking your identity. There are pretenders on social media and what you see online may not be so in reality. This is why we need to be careful and do what works best for us. I have always known that there are some categories of people who are government´s properties, and no matter their offences, they can never be sued or sue another person. I was told that even if they kill due to their disorder, the court do not have any option than to let them go and in some cases, they are kept in rehabilitation centers to keep watch over them. Non-Legal persons includes Infants, disabled, lunatics, imbeciles, mentally retarded people, extreme old men and women etc. These set of people do not have direct capacity to sue or be sued but they can be sued through a third party, which is commonly referred to as ***"next friend."*** Why am I saying this? There was a situation of a lady who just got admitted into the college as she is presently doing her Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE). When I saw this lady, she has a disorder called **Macrocephaly**. These kind of people have big heads and it is a disorder as I googled it. I knew something was wrong with her and has a disability in her. My first experience with her was when she came around my hostel to charge her phone when there was no light. I already plugged my phone in the socket and when she came, she removed my charger, thinking if she plugged her socket, she would transfer my charger there. I was silent and was watching her do her thing. There was only a space working in her socket and she couldn´t say anything. I was watching her and I kept telling her my phone was not charging, she heard but didn´t respond. I told her multiple times until she stood up and went her way. At that moment, I knew something wasn´t okay with her and I didn´t want to create a scene so I don´t get injured by her because no matter what she do, she will be a free being at the end. I got to know that she was living in the school hostel but was sent out because she bit a student so hard that she was rushed to the hospital, she started squatting with another student outside school. Many times, we would hear her mentioning committing suicide or would poison her roommate one day. Another incident happened and everyone of us ran inside and locked the door because that moment, she was so violent and she could do anything. We need to be careful with people like them because they will do what they propose in their heart to do and nobody can stop them. Well, I want to understand that even if the authorities cannot apprehend them, they would be given jungle justice- this is my own opinion though. I wonder why schools are accepting them since there are schools for the disabled and physically challenged being. Let me stop here as I don´t know what to write again 😂 Thanks for reading.
