Male Female

I know many people who like to talk, but for the sake of today, I'll be talking about Miss Adioola. Miss Adioola is my assistant chief nursing officer in the unit where I work, which is the Children's Ward in General Hospital, Ondo State. She's a very beautiful woman, fair in complexion, 56 years of age, but she looks younger than her age. She talks because she enjoys engaging people in conversation. According to her, she said it gives her the opportunity to learn from people. I first met her when I was posted to Ondo State for my National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program, the compulsory one-year service to the federal government. That day, I met her sitting by the staff chair, and when I got to the office, I greeted her. She immediately stood up, welcomed me, asked me what my name was, and I told her my name is Victoria Abraham. She asked how she could be of help to me. I told her that I was posted to this ward for my compulsory one-year service. She was so happy and said, "You look beautiful." I said, "Thank you, Ma." She asked how I was posted here. I said I was posted from the camp. She said, "Well, how did you get here?" I said, "I got here by taxi." She said, "That's wonderful." From there, she started asking me where I graduated from. I told her I graduated from College of Medicine, Aminu Bello University. From then, she started asking if she knew any people who were lecturers there, and I was able to answer that question. Over the years, while working in the ward with her, she has asked me about certain medical conditions that she no longer understands how to manage, and we've been able to discuss them. I've been able to see her grow and update her knowledge because she believes in younger people's well-being. She asks questions from them, and I've been able to answer her, which further helps her to have more broader knowledge since she's getting older. You can hardly tell that she doesn't have an idea of so many things.
