A Human Metamorphosis. (A Fresh Grad’s Thoughts)
Too swift, the time passed by, I can vividly recall my last week in school- grabbing papers and pen, jotting down notes, making solutions to different mathematical problems, combining and naming different chemicals. (By the way, Chemistry and Physics were the last subjects I had, just so you know).
And so finals came, I was so eager to answer all the questions right, I was so determined to do things right for the last time and by doing so, I felt my sweat rolling down my cheeks, then I made a one clear look at my test papers and said “YES!”- I managed to pull myself off from the cliff of perplexity.
Patiently, I waited for September 22 to come- this was the last day for the filling of grades, glad to say- I made it! (I PASSED AND WILL GRADUATE THIS OCTOBER!)
- I was the happiest person on earth,
I had the most delighted face,
I really felt an extreme bliss
…and immediately I made a call, I told my family and everyone the great news. Needless to say, as a student, I think finishing your studies is really a perfect gift you can give to yourself, and to your parents.
At each stage, we tend to defy our weaknesses, we reassess and re-balance our values and priorities. As we make a pass from one stage to another, though given some difficulties with the transitions we face, we learn and mature in the process.
Yes, this is a time for my transition and it’s been a week since that faithful moment happened.
Unfortunately, feeling like a nomad, I am still uncertain. So many things keep puzzling my mind, questions of- how will I start?, and where will I go?- I just realized that these are two of the most crucial queries an individual will ever answer in his or her life.
With confidence, I’ll grab my shoes, I will run with time, I am and I will keep pulling my feet off from this phase of vagueness to catch up with the world of reality, despite all of the hindrances I may encounter. I do hope and pray, that I would be able to find the answers I’ve been looking for- “a lifetime work”- that will suffice my needs as a person or as a being.
With all these, I call God, asking him to grant me the serenity to take control over the issues of each successive stage that I will take- This I call a “Human Metamorphosis”- a pavement to ones betterment of life.
PS.
With all sincerity, I thank God and my family for their undying support and love- because without them, I know, I am nothing.
