I think I’ve had enough negative opinions in this blog. Now I want to talk about optimism.

Every year I have to renew my ID card since I am a temporary resident here. Three years ago the officer asked me a very simple question but very difficult for me to answer: “when are you going to graduate?”. I answer: “Next year”. And he said: “Ok, Good luck!”

Two years ago I have to arrange this again and another officer asked me the same question and I answer her: “I hope next year I can graduate” in which I couldn’t make it.

Last year was more fun, met a very nice young and charming officer, smiled at me saying: “when are you going to graduate?” I smiled back at her and answered: “next year”.

One year passed so quickly and I’ve been answering the same question several times. This year I met another officer and she asked me earnestly: “do you think you will graduate next year?” and I replied: “I am planning to graduate next year, I hope I can make it this time”. She smiled at me and explained that I could extend my residency for several months in case things aren’t going as planned.

I am going to make it this time. Arranging my plan and pray may God help me finish this task.
