Student No More
It was quite a long, unfathomable experience. It was those days when I woke up rushing my way to school, looking at my EAF, getting lost in a not-so-huge campus, having my first three-hour lunch break and class, sitting lonely inside a cold library, finishing home works, meeting new friends and learning to find real ones. It was a world full of surprises and great learning—College. Everything went on. I knew at first that I have to make this worth it, and I think I did everything extraordinarily well. I achieved so many. I believed without so much bragging, that I have always been an achiever. It shows. I managed to maintain my grades way above average and I continued striving to be the best. With that I thought I received great credit where it is due. I’m grateful.
I grew up with this life. I’m doing things that I do best, I’ve gone to places where I discovered that there’s much more around me other than my computer. And the greatest thing about it, I grew up with the people whom I love the most. I have my ever supportive parents and relatives, wise mentors, a blessing of an interesting mixture of friends and colleagues, and a best friend to die for. The next thing I knew I woke up again and it was the 5th of July. I can smell victory. It was graduation day, currently the biggest event of my life. It’s the end of college and the beginning of a new life. Words can’t really describe the feeling of being in between both worlds. The past days have been quite a blur. I do not know what waiting for me. I don’t know if I can cope up with the inevitable changes, if I may have the serenity to accept them. All I know is I am a student no more, but my learning doesn’t stop there. It will go on and will live on. Congratulations to me.
