Few hours after walking the length and breadth of Obafemi Awolowo University, I became extremely frustrated.

I actually thought of writing about my experience today on campus. However, I had a change of mind and chose to thank God instead.

Before my last class ended, I was hungry and extraordinarily tired to the bones. Not even hungry, I was starving but I managed to drag myself home some minutes to 7pm.

I was ready to rant about my day and the stress that threatened to knock my head. Fortunately, as I kept scrolling through my WhatsApp status while on the bus, I came across an angel.

Sí, an angel in human form. I saw her beautiful smile and all my worries instantly disappeared. Hannah is such a pretty angel, despite OAU's stress.

Her skin is still skinning, her smile wasn't cropped by an inch, her radiant face beamed and screamed the Glory of Christ.

I did not know Hannah from Adam, but we met through my roommate in Mozambique Hall. She is a sweet soul, full of life and love.

Although she's stubborn just like myself, yet, that doesn't subtract from her beautiful qualities. Anyways, everyone, meet Hannah or Annabella ( what I love to call her) a finalist and a professional clothe doctor. She sells amazing materials that will help step up your fashion sense.

In summary, don't stop smiling, it's therapeutic. You also have no idea how much or how far your smiles can go in an individual's life.
