Mary of the Sea: Gift

.............................................................

"Her feelings come from the sea and her voice is made of laments, as making wishes to the stars, between rough waves, with loud cry's, sounding in her ears. She is daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter of fishermen. Her father was lost to the waves, on a moonless night, leaving her in the world to cry singing the rosary with the pain of life - the life of a girl who lives by the sea whose destiny is mourning in her eyes of youth. She is called Adélia Pedrosa. Touching simplicity. She is a girl of the people, who inspires and sings poems. Sad young woman. Black are the colours of her eyes and her shawl. Impressive her voice and the air of absence. Through her life she will bring the pains of sadness and her name will be recognized as one of the great interpreters of Fado."

José Maria Rodrigues - great poet, journalist and friend - 1961

Mary of the Sea

“Pedrosa is a name that comes from the beach
Mary was born from the sea
Adélia is a boat sailing
On the wave that spreads on the beach
And of blue it faints
In the sands of the fishing Pedrógão
Before so close, now so far
But, oh Mary, far enough
For you still love it
Still think of it
And also sings it
With soul, memory and passion
And what do you sing Mary?
The experiences and memories
Of the houses made of poverty
That you deprived, inside yourself, without surprise?
The men and women blackish by the maritime air
Fighting to survive day-by-day?
The infinite beauty of the exceptional and unique sand places?
The whispered wind that entered by the streets of the place?
So Mary of the Sea, you sing everything: the hope
And also the hopelessnesses.
You know, you are like the bird from the dunes
That sings the home melody,
The nest, property and place”

sophia disse...: Academic challenges are the first thing that awaits you at the gate of your university. When students jump into university from college life, they have no clue how tough and busy life is waiting ahead. Most of the students have to put more effort into university than in high school classes. Unlike most high schools, universities usually pack two years of content into one year. Many students take a full 15 credit semester, while others try to cram in up to 18 or even 21 credits. At times, it seems impossible to stay on top of it all. But if you put all your energy, you can ace the chase.

You should always know your limits and how much potential you’ve got. Never overburden yourself. If you are not able to handle 18 credit semesters, then do not waste your time and energy. It is better to slow down and focus on what you can achieve. Never forget that mental health is important for you than anything else in this world.
