Guest Column By Hussain Almeshal
I do not know where to begin to express my thoughts. Whenever I want to express my thoughts I say to myself this is not a good time. I was hesitant to write this article until this moment and until this quote came to my attention “If you love someone let them know. You never know what tomorrow brings”. The one I want to talk about is Margie Pascoe, the foreign student advisor at Montana Tech Whom I admire very deeply. She is the mother, sister, and friend of all the international students. Abraham Lincoln said, “No man is poor who has a Godly mother.” And I would say with respect to Abraham Lincoln No one is poor who has Margie in his/her life.
Margie Pascoe is the greatest woman that all the international students and everyone knows either in the campus or in the town. For all the years I have been in the school I have not had a bad words from Mrs. Pascoe. Whenever I got in trouble, no matter what the troubles are, small or big, I found Margie is the first one involved in my problems to solve it. She always will sacrifice herself to protect us. I do not know of anyone who deals with Margie and doesn't love her. Margie is basically what Washington Irving said, “A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials become heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”
Whenever I go to visit her she hugged me tight like a kid hugs his/her toy. She is the great woman who taught me how to love when I want to hate, how to laugh when I want to cry, and how to smile when I feel pain. She is the one who taught me how to fight to reach my dream and the one who taught me to fight for my rights. Margie has the purity of a child, wisdom, and experienced in life.
Here is what I want to say to Margie: It is hard on people to write to someone about the moment of farewell especially to the one who is love and mark on them. Thank you for your sacrifices, risks, and health to help us. Thank you for always being there, through thick and thin. Wherever I may go in my life, I will always remember that I had an excellent guide mother and friend. Thank you for taking the pain away from us. Thank you to all your wonderful advice to believe in myself, I have blossomed into someone who is fully aware of his potential and someone who understands that to become someone important in life. Thank you for the wisdom that you shared with me will forever become a part of my present and my future and will help me achieve greater goals in life.
