Does Stoichiometry Suck Your Life?

Oh God if I knew what the easiest way to teach stoichiometry for my students, I would run that way! I do don't know other way to explain stoichiometry after trying all ways I'd known. For me personally stoichiometry is the best part of chemistry. The most I loved in chemistry when I was at school was stoichiometry. I'd take the highest score in this part but not in the characteristic of Periodic System because this part might ask you to memorize too much thighed statements as I didn't like to memorize. For me at that time when a kinda natural lesson asked you much to memorize, the lesson should go to a social science. No wonder then why I loved stoichiometry more than other parts of chemistry.

But, oh my, I still need to face the worst world of mine after years I've struggled it. With no good mood of the weakest heart I put my students' papers on the floor as I was sitting around and checked all points of each paper. I hoped I'd find something wrong with my check point on some papers, hoped I was blank when I checked one or more papers and I needed to recheck the score. But I couldn't find something to increase even one score of the papers.

It's the second exam of stoichiometry. I needed to rerun the same field because nobody had taken a good score in last stoichiometric exam. Every single person should take minimally 70 as her/his score to pass the exam. In the last exam, the highest score was 42 and the lowest one was 14. And now I'm rechecking results of the second exam. The highest score is 48 and the lowest is 8. There are some students take 8 and some others take 16.

If I'd be a uncared teacher or I'd leave this part after leaving the chemistry class, I'd love it but how I could because I'd accept students as my sons and daughters. Will a mommy leave her kids alone when they need her? So I'm here with my students' papers and just face their papers on as my paled face going much paler. I don't think my students too stupid to answer such stoichiometry questions. Yes they all were A-level questions but we'd discussed such questions in the class. When I asked them why they couldn't answer the questions and many didn't answer essay questions, they said they didn't understand the questions because they were in English and I used new vocabularies in many questions. Of course I won't give same questions with what we'd studied in the class. All vocabularies I used in those questions were just common vocabularies and as I used Cambridge tutorial to check the British English style on the questions.

I'm curious what's wrong with my students. Do I use wrong ways when I'm teaching stoichiometry? Should I change the way I teach them? Can someone out there tell me what better way i should run on?

Words From A Son

Young generations today will share only a little part of their activities with their parents. They may try to find someone out there to share the rest. Why can't they share everything -many things at least- with their parents? Will their parents listen to them? Will their parents understand what they want and give them fair opinions? I was shocked enough when a few days ago my son told me about his friends' parents.

He told me that his male friends needed to hide their female friends' names in their cell phones memory because their parents would check with who they're sending SMS or even talking to. So the kids will create new boys' names for those girls' names. I told my son that I trusted him much and I thought he wouldn't do something bad behind me. To give him choices, I asked my son if he'd like if I did same thing. He said, he's happy with the way I'd chosen and he didn't want me to change it.

He asked me then if I was bothered with songs he'd like to listen to. He asked me how I could like such hard songs. Just to make you not be confused about it, he likes underground music and his band will play such songs on stage. But I said if he liked such songs, I didn't need him to change his way. Even for me the singers who sing his all loved songs seem like people screaming I won't ask him to leave them. I also won't tell him that sometimes I have headache when the singers scream too loud. By this way he will learn how to proud me and he wont play his kinda music when I'm studying or needing a big concentration.

The conversation which I had with my son reminding me that sometimes young genres run wrong ways because older people want the younger ones to run their ways as those young genres' ways. It's kind of something unfair for younger people, isn't it?

English Ability of Indonesian Students

Look... I teach in a plus school which has international classes. An international class should mean the class which will use an international way in study. It means students in kinda class should have a good ability in English. Since teachers who teach the program don't get enough information about the students, we - especially I - think students must have a good English ability. At leas they can speak English better than the teachers, they can debate in English, they can create any tasks of any subjects in English, they can write any thoughts in good English, and many more.

I'm tired enough to remind my international students to speak or write in good English. It's the only reason why they will cry, 'Oh, no!' when I ask them to speak English in chemistry class. But hey, they're joining an international class. They've been taking any English course. They've watched any English version of movies, and they will comment in English in their friends' friendster page, however. Why are they scared of using English in class then?

When I visited the capital city, Jakarta, and talked to some young people in English even not fluently they didn't mind to answer me in same language. It's surprised me enough. So i think the regional students should improve their English ability if they wanted to run as fast as their competitors in other regionals. I've given them a good example here to build this English version blog as I'm one of international classes members even it just uses a simple-informal styled English and I do don't care about grammar. Why should I be worried about grammar because my foreigner friends can understand what I've written here.

I'm still looking for my international students to get rid their scary in English. By the way, can you imagine how hard any English teachers from other schools to teach their students?

The Reasons to Create Blogs

Being a blogger is a trend here nowadays. I wasn't interested to create a blog at the time as I had no so much time to write any posts or to manage the blog. For me once I have a blog, I must build it as nice as possible and I don't wanna do a job by putting my half heart only on that field. But when I typed our school's name to search an updated news of our school, the links went nowhere. I was so sad to think that the school is one of outstanding schools, among some, in South Sumatera but there's no any new information from the school management. How could people know what it is? What if people want to know what programs the school may launch, who the principal is, who will teach their kids if they had any kids studying in the school, and so on.

I reported to my principal about it. He said that the school had had a website. But he might be surprised when I said it didn't work any more. Then I asked the IT front desk why the website was staged and went nowhere. He -in my eyes- gave a bad response by saying, 'I don't want it go to somewhere. It will scary me up'. I didn't care what he might say or how bad his words or body style when he's answering me. It's not a big problem for me. I just wanna see when people out there wanna check something about our school, they will get a correct information.

There 's nothing I could do but just waited. So I waited for the updated website and waited and waited. I talked to the highest level students to create any personal blogs and to write any posts about their school. But students said they couldn't write a good article and they had no much spare time to manage the blog if they had created one. Oh God, they do have much time and write an article just will take a little time of theirs. Once again I could do nothing but just waited. I'd waited for almost two months but there's no any good replies from both students or the school management.

I couldn't waited for any longer. I thought someone should write any new thing or a correct information about the school. I thought someone should create a website or a portal or a forum which would write the school's name many times to let the search engine find one when people were browsing. If there's no someone out there would think that they'd do this job, why I should ask them doing this job? Why should I just ask others but I didn't do that job? No time, too busy, or etc. etc. aren't a reason to not to build a website or a portal or a space in internet.

At first time I was confused what I should do. I didn't know how to create a website even I knew there are so many free spaces or something like that in internet. But I didn't change in this way. When I want to know something I will learn it as well as I can and it will work later as what I want. I run the same way in this case.

I browsed and browsed to learn what the hell a domain meant. I learnt what the meaning of a website, a domain, what differences among a website, a portal, a forum or even a blog. I got all clear then. So here I'm. I've sufficiently built two kinda blogs, one is in Indonesian and this one is in English. Time shows me later that Indonesian version go much faster than this one.
I don't care about the statistic. The only one thing that I'll care is when people wanna get a news or an information about our school, they may get a correct information.
When you search by using Google search engine today, you may see my blog over there and it will give you a correct information about our school.

Because I love working there, I dedicate my blogs for the school.

General Chemistry (Part 1): Questions of Basic Stoichiometry

The following questions are about the basic stoichiometry. You may think why I wrote chemistry field again? It ain't a fun part of chemistry. Because I know many students get hard with stoichiometry so I put this field once again. But here are questions only. You need to read 'Let's Try to Learn Stoichiometry' at first and continue reading this part then. Here we go....
  1. Calculate the empirical formula for a compound with the following percent composition: 23.29% of Mg, 30.72% of S and 45.99% of O.

  2. A saturated hydrocarbon contains 82.66% of carbon. what is its empirical formula and molecular formula?

  3. Calculate of the mass of chloride ion in 1.00 liter of each of the following solutions: a) 10% of NaCl (1.07 g/ml of density); b) 1.00 M NaCl; c) Calculate the molarity of the first solution.

  4. Express the following gas pressures in atmospheres: a) 300 cmHg; b) 380 torr.

  5. Calculate the molarity of each type of ion remaining in solution after 20.0 ml of 6.00 M hydrochloric acid is mixed with 50.0 ml of 2.00 M barium hydroxide.

  6. How would one prepare exactly 300 ml of 5.00 M HCl solution by diluting sufficient 12.00 M stock solution.

  7. Calculate the mass of CuS produced and the concentration of hydrogen ion produced by bubbling excess sulfuric acid into 1.00 liter of 0.10 M copper (II) chloride solution.

  8. A refrigeration tank is holding 5.00 liters of freon gas (C2Cl2F2) at room temperature and 3.00 atm of pressure develop a leak. When the leak was discovered and repaired, the tank had lost 76.0 grams of the gas. What was the pressure of the gas remaining in the tank at the room temperature above?

  9. In an auto engine with no pollution controls, about 5% of the fuel (assume 100% octane, C8H18) is unburnt. Calculate the relative masses of CO and C8H18 emitted in the exhaust gas. Calculate the relative volumes of these gases.

  10. When 0.75 mole of a solid "C8" and 2 moles of gaseous oxygen are heated in a seated vessel (bomb), completely using up the reactants and producing only one compound, it is found that when the temperature is reduced to the initial temperature, the contents of the vessel exhibit a pressure equal to half the original pressure . What conclusions can be drawn from these data about the product of the reaction?

Americans in An Indonesian Woman's Eyes

I'll put my mind fairly not to generalize people by races (skin color, eyes color, hair color, etc.) but by thoughts. I'd honestly like smart people with who I may have a nice chat, ask something or learn something new, because those people may know something what I don't know yet. So I think I'll have a new experience by gathering with such people. By using this view I won't hate a person because he/she has different skin color with me or even a specific language.

But I believe that many Indonesians hate Americans just because they're Americans. Many young Indonesians think America, which means Americans automatically, are bad. Why is it so? No any other reasons. Is that funny enough you think? The opposite opinions between Americans and Indonesians are also something funny. When I talk to my American friends, they will say that their country have given so much favor for Indonesia, automatically Indonesians. They will say that USA has helped tsunami victims by building houses or streets.

My lovely American friend said, 'Don't they (Indonesians) think who the first helped Indonesia when that country got tsunami?' I won't say yes or even no because I do don't know the real fact there when tsunami attacked. But if you all visited Aceh where the lands was blown tsunami, you might think twice to agree with my friend. Based on the witnesses, the first people who had helped them were young generation of Indonesians. But they didn't take any camera with them to picture anything but just gave the favor for those victims. But then American volunteers or armies came there like a flood and helped them all. So, we shouldn't argue who were the first or the most helped those people.

Journalistic Students' Questions


I have a trick to blow the journalistic students' mind up to make them all more creative. It's a discussion. One session of ours was to discuss about the country. It's all about our country, Indonesia. Then everything went to some other fields. We had discussed about some other countries and the most country which asked by students was the Unites State of America.

One journalistic student of mine asked me why Americans hated Muslims. She gave an example where America invaded Iraq and she thought that the only one reason was because the Iraqi people were Muslims. I tried to explain her that it's not because of religion only but the most reason to attack other country was the policy. And in this case was oil, indeed. But she argued me why American armies would rape Iraqi women if they came there just for a policy reason. I couldn't answer her, indeed, because I didn't want her get confused, but I explained her and other students that we wouldn't understand a policy game because it ain't our field. We all just needed to be good people and didn't do what those people did to the world, I explained them. We should spread love not hate for our beautiful earth, I said. None won't agree with my statement, I think.

Another student asked me later why Americans hated Indonesians. Was it because most of us Muslims, she asked. I asked her back why she thought so. She told the class that she browsed in internet that US government had been participated in any chaos in some places in Indonesia. They had been trying to build some Christian places around Indonesia. They took hands to the Indonesian courts, they told the world that Indonesians were bad, she explained. She thought that the only reason of these all because Indonesia was the largest population Muslims in the whole world. Wow, it ain't a good view of Indonesian young generation on America and Americans.

I told them all that Americans were like Indonesians and any other people. There are always two kinda men in this world, aren't they? They're good people and bad ones, I said. My students might browse wrong sites which blaming Americans or taking people on hot fire by reporting wrong-bad news. I did explain to my students that Americans were kind enough but we couldn't think what they're thinking if we didn't put our mind set into theirs. Good people -who's ever they are- would appreciate others when others appreciated them. But we couldn't make all senses as one as God had created us as different races with different natural resources. You might have same thoughts with foreigners but opposite from your citizens, but it doesn't mean you're a foreigner in your native country. You're still an Indonesian but open minded one because you could open your mind to take other different views in your mind. These all which I explained them.

Indonesia Is Not A Muslim Country!

One Pakistani friend of mine asked me why Indonesians, especially me, didn't wanna proclaim that Indonesia was a Muslims country. For me, it's the best way not to accept Indonesia as a Muslims country. Because this country is too heterogeneous in religion, in races, in languages, and many more. The most Americans and Europeans think that Indonesia is similar to any Arabians countries. It's a wrong view of course. But yes, there are so many Arabians here as any where in this earth. They spread any where, however.

It's easy to explain this point. A jilbab/hijab which covers a woman's hair is not as tight as a hijab for Arabian women or Indian women's hijab called burkah. Indonesian women will wear a specific jilbab which used to for Asian Muslim women. A burkah will cover all body of a woman but a jilbab just cover hair.
Though it's not accordance Islamic rules, a woman is free to wear. Many Indonesian Muslim women just cover their hair but let their neck opened. They can wear accessories around neck or legs, as Arabian women can't. There are a few parts of women will be forced to hide behind the jilbab especially if the fathers have Arabian blood.
In Indonesia, the jilbab isn't synonym with Islam but women would like to wear so they wear. But so many other Muslim women don't wanna wear such cloth, they're free not to wear it.

Indonesian women can apply any fields as Indonesian men can do. They also can divorce their partner as Arabian women can not. They can go for fun with their male friends and none can hold them on but they themselves. They can go to mosque or somewhere every time if they want. They can take an arranged marriage if they like but they also can choose who they will live with. They can go anywhere without a partner even at midnite. 


After all, Indonesian women proud of themselves as a part of Asian women which have a specific character compared a free life style of westerns or a restricted life style of Arabians.

What's Goin On The International Program?

I don't know where I should put at this question. Is it for the government? Is it for the principals? Or for the students themselves? But I know for sure that the question ain't for teachers who teach any international classes. Nowadays the Indonesian government c.q. national education department has been releasing a prestige program called national schools with international standard.

One of those schools is SMA Plus Negeri 17 Palembang where I've been teaching. At first time the school components heard this news, they were surprised and so proud that the government sufficiently could accept some good schools with good human resources by giving them a special name of the school. For me personally, it doesn't influence me at all in my work but by having such title I know I must work harder, much harder to keep having such prestige title. As I was one of teachers only, I thought I just could teach and transfer lessons for my students as well as before everything changed because I'd done the best of me in my work.

What Is It Exactly?

Well, not easy to explain it much because I've never been one of international teachers committees but I'll try to tell you what I've known from any meetings and papers which they offered me. National schools with international standard will adopt and use any international curriculum, such as O-level, IGCSE, AS-level and A-level. They actually have no different with any national curriculum for SMA but the differences are only when and how deep the subjects will be learned. For the first international standard schools, there are only 5 subjects will be taught, are English, Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. So they are only which will be tested, based on those international programs.

There's a little bit different to learn natural sciences here in Indonesia compared with other countries. Indonesian students may be 'expert' in theory but not in laboratory as it's what an international curriculum wants. My X grade students just had had one laboratory experiment in one semester (about 6 months)! It ain't because I'm too lazy to prepare any laboratory tools but for some other reasons. Our school has one person to help any chemistry teachers to do any experiments for their classes. But this one ain't a chemistry graduated person. She graduated from an IT academia and also teaches IT subject in our school. She may be able to learn chemistry tools or help chemistry teachers to keep cleaning the laboratory but she for sure will be so slow to learn chemistry as a subject. She can do nothing to make any solutions which will be needed in any chemistry experiments.

Actually I teach 3 classes only as I've been taking a higher education in chemical engineering master program. Because I must go to study on Monday till Thursday and teach on Friday-Saturday only, so I have classes in all of the time of school days. Can you imagine how I must prepare anything before asking students to do an experiment at laboratory? Will I have time? Well, of course if the laboratory would be opened for about 24 hours so I might prepare them all when others were taking rest!

When two friends and I attended a CIE workshop 2 years ago we had talked that there's no other way to run the program better but worked harder. One friend said, 'We've worked harder than any other teachers in other schools but now it's not enough. We must give the hardest effort of us.' I agreed with him.

But today it seems that it stops working. All efforts which we'd done long time ago looking meaningless now. The last meeting where I'd attended with some other teachers of international classes and facilitators, looked funny for me. Because the top leaders and also the front desk of facilitators said that we wouldn't work with CIE curriculum but we would teach international classes by using national curriculum and there's no any guarantee for students to take an international certificate. We at least just would try to develop international characters among teachers and students, and would flow an international atmosphere around classes. I'd tried to explain that it wouldn't work. It's impossible to have twenties students to join a new international class and pay more but they will get nothing. They can't improve their English ability because their teachers shouldn't speak English fully in class to decrease misunderstanding between students and the teacher. English can be used regularly but not fully. But later in any examinations, the teachers were asked to write their questions in English. No wonder then why most international students cant answer their examination well because of the language. What poor students!

What Should We Do?

  • The most important thing of all is a commitment! Good commitments from the principal, students, their parents, teachers, and facilitators. We may list the government out because of the school autonomy which we've hold on.
  • The school should have a fixed program and spread it to all school components. The first year it will be among international students and teachers only but later it should be the school atmosphere.
  • The school should prepare all things of international program needs such as the completed laboratories, human resources, the class room needs and so on.
  • The schools c.q the frontman of the international program, should contact CIE to sign any agreement and soon they will tell us what we should do and how to run the program. Asking the expert will be much better than working alone in the dark forest.
  • Teachers should take any English course to improve their English ability while they keep teaching. The TOEFL or TOEIC tests or scores had been run and they showed where the teachers should be. I won't talk about that kinda tests not because I don't take any yet, but there's no any other way to teach your subject in English except you yourself understand English well. It may look too late but at least we'll show our hard work.
  • International students should speak English in the 5 subjects' times. Once they don't know the word, they'll ask other students or the teacher and it will be easier for them to remember the word and its meaning. The key of English disable is too lazy to check a dictionary.
  • The school management should be opened with the teachers and students about the program. Hiding it all won't help at all. The students may take their due, their parents may ask where their kids will go further, and the teachers can know what they possible do to develop their teaching skills. The school should let these components to help their work because the result is for all components, not just for the school management. Having some opinions from some heads is much better than one opinion from one head.

    Let's Try to Learn Stoichiometry

    You may think it's funny for you when you check the tittle of this post. 

    'Is it a view? Why don't you leave this post and let other blogs to create this?' you may ask me. Let's me explain. As I'm a chemistry teacher and I've created this blog for my students especially so it's no wonder why I create an explanation of lessons as a view. I hope such posts will be used by other students of other senior high schools especially in Indonesia. Indonesia has a specific curriculum called national curriculum which adopts O-level curriculum and A-level curriculum and adds some new fields for X, XI, and XII grades. As I've been teaching in a senior high school with plus curriculum for about 11 years, I'm experienced enough to know what kinda chemistry problems for Indonesian students. I hope they may find some solutions for their chemistry problems here. This post will explain the stoichiometry concept only because it's commonly the hardest part of chemistry for Indonesian students but it will relate with many parts of chemistry and it's the basic of chemistry calculations. What's the basic of Stoichiometry? The basic concept is mathematics. Once you understand math well you can learn stoichiometry easier for sure. To make this field being narrower, here are the equations you need to get closer with. General equations Molar mass of an atom is equal to the molecular weight of the given atom. Molar mass of a molecule is equal to the molecular weight of the given molecule.

    For all conditions
    • mass = the number of moles x molar mass
    m = n . mm
    • the number of molecules = the number of moles X Avogadro number
    X = n . L
    • the number of moles = Molarity x Volume
    n = M. V For specific conditions
    • At standard temperature and pressure
    Volume = the number of moles x Molar Volume V = n . Vm V = n x 22.4 liter/moles
    • At specific temperature and pressure
    P V = n R T where P = pressure (atm) n = the number of moles R = the ideal gas constant (0.082 liter.atm/mol.K) V1 . n2 = V2 . n1 where V1 and V2 = volume of gases n1 and n2 = the number of moles of gases What are steps to solve a stoichiometry problem? Here are the steps and do them in the manner:
    • Read and understand the problem and list the known stuffs. Don't mention the earlier word of a given number but the later one of the given number.
    Here's an example of a part of an unfinished question: What is the number of mass of 2.24 liters of ammonia.... So the known stuff is 'volume of ammonia or V' not 'the mass of ammonia or m'
    • Determine if the problem needed a chemical equation or not. Write a balanced chemical equation if it needed it. Go to the next point if it didn't.
    Example:
    200 mL of nitrogen gas is flown into a tube of 200 mL of hydrogen gas and they are heated. In this case, you need to write a chemical equation and then balance it. Just use a balanced equation to solve any chemistry problems.
    • List the equation(s) which you need to solve by using the known stuffs. Circle the known numbers and leave the unknown ones. Solve equations as many as possible.

    THEY WERE JUST BIG A**HOLES!

    Don't think I'm bad when you read the title above. It's what I said when I checked my class forum today and I found out so many porn pictures and links over there. Too bad that I didn't check it for about 2 weeks. I just hope none had seen those f****** pictures because they did go to a wrong forum. My forum was created to relate my students, my fellow chemistry teachers, and me. It's the place where we all may write something about chemistry or ask and get answer of chemistry fields or other fields which relate with chemistry. But it's so bad that those f****** people came over there and put many such pictures. What the f*** were they thinking when they sent those all to my class forum? I really got mad at that time.
    I didn't know where I should run my words to blame those people. If I'd find them out I'd kick their big assholes for sure! I do hate such people who just put sex in their emptied mind! They may do whatever they wanna do but why they must send all bad stuffs to an education forum?! They must read my posts and they shouldn't act bad. They maybe good f***er but why they need to show such vulgar porn to teens as my students are under 16 years old? they're dumb a**holes!

    HOW DID?

    It happened because I managed my 3 posts open for public. I did it because a few students and fellow teachers asked me not put a restriction as I didn't check my forum regularly. I thought what if spam and random sites came? But I thought then it'd be okay as it's an education forum. The adults sites -don't care who the admins- will think twice to responds such forum. It will look so funny to put porn sites in any eduction forum or sites I think. But the hell it happened! They must be jumpin' to the hell!

    I was so shocked seeing such porn pictures on my forum. They ain't not naked pictures only but people over there showed many styles to readers how to f*** and some women -old or young- were doing 'something' with their vagina. First I thought I just typed a wrong site address so I linked back. Then I deleted them all with unhappy feeling while I was thinking if one or some students had linked them. As I was deleting them, a friend came for a chat by messenger. After saying hi, I sent 'shiitttt' to him. He asked me what had been happening to me to say such word for him. I explained him with many shit-f*** words and typed the explanation so fast.


    WARNING!

    To all students who don't understand how bad (as I didn't!) people out there, I warn you all to be more careful to open your sites for public because some parts of the world don't understand how to proud others' privacy. As I'd ever said to my friend that there were two kinda people who bad or good. The bad ones may go to your site and do what they do to me. Anyway it's an expensive experience for me.

    Wasting Time

    What will take your time much? Watching on TV, reading newspapers, chatting with neighbors, or something else? I run mine now as I have no much spare time to do such things above. You know, jobs, kid, students are my perfect reasons to say so. If I might have a little spare time, I'd spend it here in internet. Will it waste my time? First I don't think so but I know I do then.


    Imagine this....
    I must go to my university to study for 4 days a week from 7 morning to 5 evening. Then at night I'll spend time with students and kid to check how good their day or help them a little in their home works or lessons or just even chit chat with them. It will finish after 10 pm of each day. 


    Then the time for myself to take care of myself or just look on the mirror to check my face getting older day by day:) No, it's not time for doing such cared-myself, but it's time to check emails. As you all do, I have some email addresses separating them based on who will receive emails. Because I have some works, so I need some emails to get the best what kinda work I'm talking about or what kinda people I'm sending emails. So I have emails for personal business, personal, and school with its jobs. As I have more than one email addresses, it will be impossible to check them all only in a few seconds. I then will try to spend so much time which I should pay for myself -here- in internet to check emails, to reply some important emails, do a job asked by personal business to do -such as editing work papers-, to edit stories, and so on. I usually come to post something into my blogs or forum. I usually write an article in 10-20 minutes. I have no much time to edit them as I've just learned to build a blog. A website page where I've been joining will be managed by my friends. I'll just post. 

    Having my own blogs giving me many advantages. As I used to write a diary since I was in elementary school. It started with a thick diary, pretty heavy books and a locked file then. Now I'm here using internet to write all things not just my daily activity but also education and human being issues, the things which filling my head fully. I up till now can't control myself not to write besides paid stories. It doesn't take much time but still it needs time, does it?

    Without checking the clock, I'll know that early morning is coming. With my tired body, I won't face the mirror but just lay body on bed. Don't you think I've wasted my time here then?
