Keep the flame burning brightly ever.

I’ve looked forward to this day in so many ways but now that the day is here, my emotions are kinda mixed. 3 years have gone by that fast. I remember how reluctant I was in joining SA but deep within me, something told me to stay. Many would have heard me whine and grind about how I regret my experience here but as I look back, I can’t help but think how much SA has matured me into a whole new different person. Whether it’s for the better I don’t know yet but certainly it was God’s way of telling me that I’m indeed destined to do greater things and that I believe in that path so much now that nothing can possibly take my mind away from the prize.

To the (not) many teachers who have made the journey a little more pleasant, to the classmates that have been there, to the friends and the bonds forged, I think I am lucky to be given this opportunity. It certainly hasn’t been the easiest paths what with retaining, a different social culture, cock up school system but hey, I’m here today to say that I did it. I beat the system to emerge a better person.

I look forward to stepping into the school in a few months and to only step out with nothing but smiles with my friends doing the same by my side.

No one is here by chance, it certainly is true.

With 25 more days away to that first glimpse of future, I pray for nothing but perseverance and that God grants all of us the tenacity to do great things with what little time we have. We have come so far and that certainly is a testimony of how much we can achieve.

All the best fellow Saints.
