I'm at the final
lap of university life and my oh my how time flies. I remember at one point not
knowing what I really wanted to do and, the discussions and arguments leading
to the course I finally ended up pursuing. Finishing was inevitable; I knew it
but couldn't see it. However, as the days grow closer I see my silver lining
more clearly.
It seems like just
the other day when I was complaining at the lack of courses available, and then
the challenges got a bit tougher. Clashing classes, other people we started with
graduated, and then anxieties of completing my units on time plus getting
internship kicked in. Pressure! Soon it was time for me to tighten my laces,
put my very best, everything that I was saving up and run like I had never run
before.
Last semester
I was busy stressing as to whether I will get internship or not, or if I will
get the remaining courses to graduate, the pressure was looming. At first, I
was hopeless then thanks to significant figures in my life plus remembering who
I serve and belong to I found some ray of hope and faith.
For starters,
my name appeared on the list of those who will be graduating come 2013. Big
grin, heart-heart-skip a beat and happy floating feeling on the inside. What
followed was managing to get the course I needed to be offered this semester
and last but not least-guess where I am now…in an office. Yes, you read right.
I got internship!!!I was taken in as an intern in a PR firm and I'm thanking
God. Loud screams, and shouts of the joy as the crowd, which consists of me,
myself and I, cheer out loud.
2013 seems
to hold much promise. Before you start telling me that that is what everyone
says at the beginning of the year, I can honestly say this time I see things
differently, besides-it is our year of Jubilee. I for see the clearing of many
storms, and as the clouds begin to clear the silver linings will reveal and the
coming of many bright sunny days.
Till the next time,
