There is an outstanding character in my campus. Unlike the other staffs, she tends to greet people differently. She goes beyond the ‘hi’ and ‘bye’, she asks questions which requires a respond whenever she greets you. Perhaps many of us are not really social beings. We like to mind our own business, therefore some people find it troublesome talking to her.
I am aware of how people see her but I have never had any encounters with her. Today, I went to her office for some official matters and she did not seem to be that bad after all. In fact, I was very happy with the short conversation that we had. I was at ease talking to her and interestingly, our perspective of life seems to be pretty much similar.
I’m happy that I did not stereotype her based on what I heard of her for if I did, I would not have found a friend in her.
