Personal Message:   Live and let live. Your future is your own. What you do today affects your future. Best is to ask God daily for forgiveness, guidance and protection from all evil. You never know what lurks in the dark. So far I've received God’s blessings and for that I am eternally grateful. I am also grateful to my parents who sent me to college to get a college diploma, my only shield against poverty. I am also grateful to my classmates who are my true friends, honest and no pretenses. They are like stars in the sky, far away. Yet, I know they are there for me. Thank you, my true friends!
