The new dogma

It is not of chance but of destiny. It is not on their decision but yours. It is you and the universe.

Earlier this June, there was a sudden drop in the returning students of our section and our major. From thirty plus, we plummeted to twenty nine. From eighteen in our major, we dropped down to a dozen.

A dozen eggs to be incubated.

Why did this happen? Most of my co-course students stopped because of financial upheaval and tardiness. Some shifted to their loved and should be courses. So what is the significant impact on that to us?

We are all alone. Naks. No, we are so small as a major group. Most of us prefer that we are large in group (including me) and it was a shock for us on our first major class that we are just twelve in the room. With this number invisibly plastered on our forehead, we are now obligated, and promulgated to be still and resilient against temptations of shifting and being lesser kinds of students.

This is our new dogma, to finish the course as twelve, to pass the board examination as twelve, and to live this course as twelve learners and future teachers./KP
