As I came back to our university processing some papers, I got to realize that college life has really come to an end. I remember my kindergarten self and I just appreciate how I made it this far. It has been a long bumpy rollercoaster ride. Despite the pressure I'm feeling, I'm also been very grateful for my achievements. Little did I know I'm already a degree holder. I survived college, I've been through a lot, and that's already very rewarding. I'm sure my younger self is super happy.
After college, life truly begins. It's the time when I have to go out of my comfort zone and trek on the unknown paths of adulthood. It's the time I'll be moving forward and starting my career. I say this is the most challenging transition of my life. This is the time I'm gonna start building my life in my 40s, 50s, 60s, and so on. I believe my future depends on today. That's why I cannot blame myself if sometimes I feel like rushing. I'm rushing not because I want to, but because I need to.
I'm just too grateful for the wonderful years I've spent in school, ever since I was 5 up until now that I am 22. It taught me a lot of things. It taught me how to be a well-grown woman. It taught me so many lessons. School has shaped me into who I am today. Yet, school is over; the real-life battle now starts. I don't know what lies ahead, but I hope my efforts and decisions will lead me to a comfortable life. I hope, I pray. Life is starting now. May we all, aspiring people, find our way to the summit of life’s great mountain. The path may be unfamiliar and rough, but when there seems to be no other way, I'll be making my own.
