Sad to hear that

I heard the news at night, after finishing my studying in the study room. My friend told me that the female security in my hostel was fired. I was so shocked to hear that. Because in my impression, she is a very kind and helpful woman and I couldn’t figure out a reason that is legitimate enough to fire her.

When we used our laptops with the wires going across the corridor to reach the plugs, which created a possibility that someone would stumbled and fall if they didn’t notice the wire under their feet. So, every time, when she noticed this, she would come to us to remind that put a chair over the wire in order to draw the passer-by’s attention. I can still remember her words:” you should put a chair here, or your mates would fall, safety first!” Every time she saw the situation, she would come and remind us patiently or just put a chair over the wires herself. See, how careful she is!

And the time to light off in study room is eleven o’clock at night. But sometimes, we needed more time to finish our work. So, she would kindly extend the time limit to let us finish. And sometime if it is impossible for her to give us a longer light, she would allow us to brought our own lamp to the study room. See, how kind she is!

Sometimes students came back to hostel after curfew because some forgivable reasons, she would let them in and not scold them and told them to be punctual next time. I am sure that she knows this is against the law, but I think she just didn’t want to see us being penalized so she made some compromises.

She is so kind a woman but we even didn’t know her name yet. And now she is fired. I really feel very sad about the incident. And if it was these reasons that caused her lay-off, I think it would be unfair for her. Something she did may be a little bit conflicting against the rules, but she just want to create a better environment for us. At least she should be given a chance to correct her “faults”.
At last, I sincerely hope that she would be forgiven and keep doing the job..
