BE THERE FOR ME AT ALL TIME

I sat and thought of what a friend is to me and i came to a conclusion which i will like to share with my near and dear friend
which is you :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
It is by chance we meet and by choice we became friends.......
Friendship is a strange thing , we fine ourself telling each other the deepest details of our lifes things we dont even share with our families who raise us.
But what is a friend ?
A confident ...............................
A lover ..........................................
A shoulder to cry on......................................
An ear to listen..........................................
A heart to feel..............

A friend is all this things and more , no matter where we meet i call you friend.
Friendship a word so small yet so large in feeling , a word full of emotion.............................
We may have our disagreement ........................
We may argue ...........................
We may consent one another but we care because we are friends.

Friendship is a unique bond that lost through it all...........
A part of me is put in to my friend ...
some of it is my humor....
some of it is my listening ears ......
some of it is my real life experiences........
some it is my romanticism..........................
But with all, it is friendship.....................

AND LIKE I SAID THANKS FOR BEEN A GOOD FRIEND TO ME.

WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP

Friendship is a personal relationship shared between each friend for the welfare of other, in other words, it is the relationship of trust, faith and concern for each other feelings. It is a relationship of mutual caring and intimacy among one another. A friend is one who knows you as a person and regards you for what you are and not what he or she is looking in a good friend. Best friend is one who accepts the good as well bad qualities of his friend and also takes an initiative in correcting and mending them. Friendship is a distinctive kind of concern for your friend, it is a relationship of immense faith and love for each other.
Friendship is all about how much you care and understand each other. It is a pure relationship, which would make your friend smile, feel good as to how much you love him and care for him. It is all about talking, listening and building up a strong relationship loyalty among each other. It is string of love which develops gradually with each others involvement. In certain cases friendship may not last for a longer period and might end up or lose its prime importance of love and regard for each other. There are some friendships which might end with unresolved conflicts and tiffs which means that these type of relationship were not so strong that could hold on their own in adversity and bad times. Friendship is not about merry-making and fun it involves equal loyalty from both the partners. It should be understood that not all friends are best friends. One might come across numerous number of friends in his life but there are very few who will be their during your ups and down. How one should recognize your best friend the one who will understand your strengths and shortcomings and would be with you in all your good and bad phases of life.
A true friendship does not consist of a huge number of friends you keep but it is valued by its worth and capability to hold you and stand by you in all phases of life. That said finding a best friend from among your friends is the hardest task to do. A lot of people say that the best friends automatically come closer from among a group of friends and you will never have to make an extra effort to do find one. That is how the strong bond between true friends is formed. So best of luck in finding or recognizing a true friend !
RETROSPECT OF MY LIFE AT NTUT.

The dreams of achieving my academic goals in Taiwan dated back to June 2006 when i was awarded a government scholarship. Upon arrival at the Taoyuan Airport, we received a warm welcome from NTUT officials, our Embassy officials here in Taiwan, faculty members. and Local Students. The entire Gambian students owe International Students Office and the local students a debt of gratitude for their support.

i knew that there will be a lot of challenges, but am a very strong man and i was up to face any challenges comes on my way. Academic expectations were high, imaginations were high, and in my dreams sometimes I imagine how to full fill those high expectations and imaginations bestowed on us by the people and Government of The Gambia. The first Semester was a turbulent moment for every one of us. physics, and Calculus were a nightmare. Was it that we were loath to work hard? of course no!initially there were some obstacles such as culture difference,different learning environment, different in taste of food. Bulkiness of the course materials, and most importantly, language barrier.
whenever night falls, I miss my Mum, dad, siblings, friends, and The Gambia. I miss my mum's delicious dishes whenever the lunch time comes as I' m not used to Taiwanese food. I wondered if i could adapt to the life and environment in Taiwan.

Did i only difficult moment in NTUT? After the first semester, i had a wonderful and happy campus life. I gradually accustomed myself to everything through the help of my classmates and Taiwanese friends. This was only possible by integrating myself into the Taiwanese society and learning the basic Chinese as soon as i could both in Class and at the Chinese corner organized by the language department of NTUT. I made a fruitful transition and excelled academically. The Professors and my Classmates were very helpful both in and out of the classroom. I spend most of my time in the Library and during the examinations, i stayed in the Library for 24hrs. The strength of NTUT lies in experience, excellent pedagogical skills, and motivational influence of the Professors teaching the various courses.

Within 4 years i visited several cities, and some important areas around Taiwan such as Taipei 101, the second tallest building in the world, Ali shan to see sun rise, Sun Moon Lake, Taoyua, Kaoshuing, Danshui just to name the few.

As rated to be one of the best Universities in Taiwan, i had a wonderful time studying there and realized that Taiwan especially NTUT is one of the best places in the world for one to acquire knowledge. I Love Taiwan, Taiwanese people, culture, and the food. Having made a great set of friends both on and off campus, NTUT is like a second home for me, the President, Professors, faculty staff, students, as well friends made me feel like being with my family. NTUT have made me improve and grow up.

As Pioneers of The Gambia Information technology, we would like to return back home to explore our experience gained in the course of our study here in Taiwan. We also hope that our contribution will bring in change to the Socio-economic development of The Gambia our IT Industry.

i will surely miss Taiwan and its people, NTUT and its environment.
