45 minutes

The day was another ordinary week­day. I had studied for my midterm Ecology theory exam but was shocked when Dr Perumal announced that he had a surprise practical exam. I, as most of my classmates, felt that this was going to definitely ruin the day. To our surprise, we were given garbage bags and sent out to assigned areas around the dormitory and football field in pairs. We were given 45 minutes to fill up the bags and to assemble with the trash in front of the science building. What began as something small turned out to be a memorable event. Those 45 minutes surprised us to see the amount of trash around where we live and play. To fill eleven bags of garbage took us only 45 minutes.

Asia-Pacific International University campus is our home and we are a family here. Subsequently, we should encour­age each one of our family members to take good care of our home by keeping it clean. For those who do not know how to keep it clean, we hope that you will not dirty it either. Each one of us is old enough to differentiate between clean and dirty. It is so embarrassing for our friends and neighbors to see the trash around our campus. This world is entrusted to us by God and we are ac­countable to keep it clean.
