Bright but...

... poor.

During our Clinical Education class yesterday, we were asked to report on how we were gonna get the sympathy of a judge during a direct examination. The situations was that this UP professor was given ten years to live when he was accidentally exposed to radiation during one of his trips to the Nuclear Power Plant. Everybody said that we were supposed to show the judge how his poor kids will never see him around anymore and how it is unfortunate that a life once full of promise is gonna end sooner than expected. But one comment or "plan" was stellar... My girl classmate said,

"We are going to say that he is a loss for the academe. We are going to point out that his death will affect the lives of the BRIGHT.... but POOR students of UP."

Everyone started laughing. It was in good faith really but it was just too funny and awkward to not laugh about. Raffy said he doesnt agree that we're poor... I say, well... at least i'm rich in spirit haha. [This was my excuse to Atty. Calleja when he asked my i havent paid my weekly class fund contribution... I am poor financially but I am rich in spirit.]
