Mom Thea

It was my first day as university student. The lecturers looked like big boss. They brought big backpack, formal shirt, and of course their English like native speaker. It was hard to memorize their name one by one, but there was one lecturer who had special appearance on my mind. She was Mom Thea.

She is totally different from other lecturers. She is one of senior lecturers in English department. Her age is about 70 years old. When I met her for the first time, I thought she was a foreign. She speaks English very well, with good speech and pronunciation. She was so funny when she told us a story. I am interested and excited with her accent, just like Mr. Bean movie and Friends the series on television. Not only because of her accent but also her style, I am sure that everyone thinks she is an American when they hear Mom Thea speaks.

Mom Thea has a unique style. She has medium height, white complexion skin, and short white-hair. Sometimes, it seems like a blonde hair. Her small brown-eyes, a sharp well-formed nose, and thin lips are enough to make her look like American. She is still beautiful though her skin is getting old because she always make-up her face with powder and nice lipstick, so she looks more attractive on her 70 years old. She never wears strange clothes, ordinary simply shirts and trousers with soft motif. What a pretty old woman. She said that now, because of her age, she must use eyeglasses to help her sight and a small particular thing on her ear to help her hearing. “It was like noises, rumbling in my ears”, Mom Thea said.

            Mom Thea is my special lecturer. There is a secret on her. Somehow, she is my lecturer, but I am bored when she is starting a story in the class. I do not know why, she probably does not sense that we are sleepy with her telling story. However, her experience in education is really great. Actually, she is the only lecturer who never coming late in our class, although her slow steps show her age. Hopefully, other lecturers do the same discipline like Mom Thea.
