On an early Monday morning.. On a very busy roads of Lagos. I was rushing to meet up with an interview which was two hours from now.

I dressed up quickly and made my way to the bus stop only for me to meet a filled bus.. I had to wait for another bus to load. It was really frustrating.. I have waited for this interview my whole life.. Ordinary transport won’t be able to stop me. I taught.

And later, during dinner, I realized that I was thinking of approaching the boy but never did, I could have stopped the car and walked up to him which again I never did. What a shame!

I felt guilty. I could have helped that boy… But because I was rushing to attend an interview I still didn’t get the job to.. I lost the chances of being a good Samaritan to a kind hearted boy who deserve some help.
