it's useful telling them so when they're still here on earth

I remember way back in Marcelo Spinola School when one day, Sr. Lola brought me to her office as she would like to tell me something, she said was so important. I was amazed that she was just going to tell me that I am a good person. I was even more overwhelmed when she told me that often, we say something good about someone when they're dead already. Maybe we have taken for granted more often on telling kind words to anyone.

I had my class in Research this afternoon, with the BEEd IV. They had to be grouped for their research projects. It would be best done with their class cards shuffled, and then grouped randomly. The cards were at the locker, but I couldn't get those since I left the key. I looked for Rodel (the Executive Assistant) because he might have the duplicate. But I failed to find him. I almost lost hope when I saw Marvin, a personnel of the campus. I asked him if he could help me. He gladly granted my plea and opened the locker. As we were walking towards my classroom, I told him, "Marvin, you are a good person." I added what Sr. Lola told me. I thought it made him joyed. I too was happy and is happy about it.

Looking back, I could remember how Marvin politely has treated me. He was a student of the school where we work now, when I was just starting to teach. He was never my student though. I could sense his candidness with the times he offers help.
