Two days ago I encountered a scandalous, arrogant, stupid person.  She was actually my co - worker. I was having a chat with my other co - workers when she entered the room and asked me to give her the documents  needed by her son for college admission. She was in a commanding tone when she approached me. So,I told her I needed her son`s accomplished clearance form before I can release what she had asked for. Sadly, she didn`t have the clearance form and didn`t know where his son`s clearance. But because of her arrogance she ignored what i told her. She still insisted to get what she had asked and even blackmailed me that it was my responsibility to secure his son`s clearance.  I calmly explained to her the importance of the accomplished clearance form.  When clearance form is released , its the responsibility of the students to secure it. If it is already accomplished then that`s the time when it becomes a responsibility of the authority assigned to collect and secure. It seemed that she didn`t understand. She became hysterical upon hearing all my explanations. Vulgar, obscene words spontaneously rushing out from her mouth. We were all shocked, stunned and upset of her reaction and behavior. In a second I didn`t know how to react then in the next second I was able to compose myself. At the back of my mind ,I am talking  to her; telling that she  should be thankful that I had taken a pill overloaded with courage, patience and humility, if not I should have exploded just like her. So I tried to calm her by telling that I was giving her what she wanted but in one condition. The condition was letting her promise that she has to let her son finish accomplishing the clearance form, then submit to me. I handed her a large envelope with the documents in it. Unintentionally, I was not able to check the envelope if all the documents are there. The night after the incident I was still thinking of what happened to me. I still can`t believe that that was happened to me. I felt humiliated and  insulted.So I cried a lot. I told God why she was like that;why she had brought troubles to me; why did it happens to me. What if she do that again to other people? 

Two days after... I found out that the envelope I had given to my co- worker is lacking of one important document. I was happy at the same time sad. Happy because I knew God will never let my spirit broken completely by her. God is loving and merciful to humble and meek people. And I think He turned to my side because I shown humility, patience and courage. On the other hand, I was sad for my co - worker because her son will not be able to enroll without that document. Maybe God  wanted her to suffer the consequence of what she did to me and let her realize that she was wrong.
