GOD is a god of possibilities (a bio116 update)
July 8, 2009Last week, when i was still busy cramming for the formal report on isolation and characterization of proteins, i managed to write emails to different professors of prestigious universities such as Harvard and Stanford. those were requestsfor a journal reprint of their articles recommended by Pechenik (our reference book) for our My Research Focus Box, a requirement in our Biology 116, Invertebrate Zoology elective. Not to metion Sir Mamaril who named the requirement as such. I remember during our first meeting, sir Mamaril encouraged us to write to these authors and request for the reprints but warned us that we may not get any response due to the fact that those men are really busy professionals. Well it was a sarcastic rendition of the mock “who are you anyway to ask some of my precious time”. And so he advised us to check the main library and libraries outside the university instead.
One week, or to be exact 6 days passed by and i did not open my UP webmail. It was only an hour ago that i noticed 4 inbox messages I received the same day i sent those emails!!i received not only ONE response but FOUR responses coming from FOUR authors. Now that means 4 reprints needed out of 6. You see, I wasn’t even expecting this to happen and moreover, i didn’t expect this to be too soon! I do not know if this is a typical story but then it is a pride for my part. ha ha! Who says it is impossible? it is not! GOD is around for help! And this is just a simple testimony of HIS overwhelming grace. Now, i can start the 2-page article and rest assured, GOD will be by my side as i write this journal.
