An eccentric person

by Cristina Nuta - Chris moved into the house next door to me two years ago. Even before he came around to introduce himself the following day, I could tell that he was truly eccentric. Perhaps the most striking thing about Chris is his appearance. His slender body is usually adorned in some kind of tight-fitting multi-colored cat suit which makes him look like a comic book super hero. He...

The most remarkable person I know

by Cristina Nuta - The person I admire most is not famous at all, yet to my mind his achievements are as important as those of any historical figure. Gary is a fellow student of mine at college, and for him this fact is a major achievement. Gary suffers from cerebral palsy, which makes it almost impossible for him to control his movements. As a result, he spends his life in a wheelchair,...

The Person I Wish I Were

by Herminne Tonita - You all have to admit the fact that if the golden fish asked you to tell the three wishes that would change completely your destiny one of them would be to have the chance to be another person.

I was sharing it with a woman, who seemed to be...

An inoffensive danger

by Cristina Nuta - He walked heavily down the road in the quiet of the early afternoon. In the blazing sun he roamed the narrow twisting streets of the town. He was laughing and holding a conversation with an invisible person. 'Here he comes! Here he comes!' we children whispered so we wouldn't wake the adults from their afternoon nap. Through half open shutters we watched him go by,...

What Makes a Person More Attractive Than Others

by Herminne Tonita - What makes a person more attractive than others, what makes you fall in love with a man and not with another? What is it that which makes someone more special than other persons? For me charisma and sex appeal are those ingredients which make me lose my minds. If a man has only one of these qualities then it means he promises something, but if he has both of them he is the...

A person who influenced my life

by Cristina Nuta - On my first day of work at Moro Assurance I arrived nervous, soaking wet- and nearly half an hour late. I had forgotten to take an umbrella, had missed the bus and was now ready for a good scolding. It was then when I met Nicky Jonathan, the Managing Director, who was to have an enormous influence on my life and career. My first impression of her was one of politeness...

Just Friends

by Herminne Tonita - Many times you realize you have a friend when you need someone to talk to or you want someone you give you a helping hand. The moment you are alone you come to appreciate a friend. When you are always surrounded by all your friends you may get to the point when you spend more time with only one of them and forget about the rest of the group. They may feel neglected and the...
