I have this friend of mine that i always remember, am no longer with her but her impacts in my life still feels afresh.

I have a lot of friends, lovely friends but this one i haven't seen the key qualities she possess in any one else. They are just quite commendable.

Am going to talk about her personality, as my reader you may be wondering how it concerns you but there is something to learn Incase you need to step up in those areas.

I wouldn't tell you that she's perfect, but then it's always good that as individuals, your good works are able to over shadow your lapses in such a way that your weaknesses may not really matter.

Eunice was my colleague in the University, she's this smart and outspoken type, always wanting to participate in everything, and she loved taking the lead in whatever we were asked to do.

This her serious minded attitude brought us together, because back then in school i was also trying my best to see that i participate in class activities.

From been colleagues we became close friends, aside been intelligent, she had a heart of gold, I have never seen any of my friends that gives like her without expectations of what you would do back for her.

I don't know whether you have seen when someone is doing something for you and also thanking you like you are the one making the sacrifice.

She amazes me alot, Eunice will call you on phone and be thanking you seriously.

This attitude of hers embrasses me and am like what is the thank you for again, it wasn't my airtym, she stayed on her own and did the calling, all I did was to answer and talk with her.

You will visit her and she serves you food, when you are done eating, she comes to say "thank you" and am like for?

She would say thank you for eating!

She loved to give so much, even if it was her last, even if it meant sponsoring the whole class she wouldn't mind as long as she had what it would take.

And doing it, she does it happily, freely, you know when you enjoy what you are doing even if no one is paying you back or even if no one is commending you. It doesn't matter because you are not looking at what you would gain from it.

Her sense of responsibility is second to none, hardly will you see her depending on anyone for anything, she just knows how to sort herself out.

And you will now be wondering, is this person, not my mate?

Even when you visit her, she feels responsible for everything, your upkeep, to the extent of your transport back home and am like is this person not a student like me?

Even back then in school, she loved being up and doing, anything she could do just to earn from it, she would engage herself in.

As an undergraduate she was already providing for her two siblings, you could imagine how far she would her gone by now after she has graduated.

She really challenged me and inspired me to become better, that is why till today, her impacts still feels afresh in me.

One thing I observed about her is that she easily finds favour in the sight of people, and this I would say was as a result of her benevolence.

Scripture says "that the gift of a man will make way for him and he will stand before kings".

It's not magic, sometimes we may not reap the seeds we sow in people's life directly from them, most times it could be from people we are just meeting for the very first time.

Sometimes you may not be the one to reap the seeds you have sown, it may be your children.

Some of the things you do, you may never know people count it for you, you may be doing good and nobody is appreciating you, it will just take a day for you to know that people have been observing you.

That is the kind of life that i want to live, I want my impact to be felt afresh even after years am no longer in contact with the people that come my way.

The lesson here is that we should all learn to be nice to people even if they are under us, even if they are benefiting from you, one day your works will speak for you.

Now I can serve someone food and while coming to carry my plates I would say thank you!

And the person would be like, I have never seen this one before.

The second lesson is to always have a sense of responsibility, try being independent. Get yourself something doing, be productive and be a blessing to your family!

Thanks for reading!
