From Finding a University to finding what life has to offer I remember when I was in Senior High School, dreaming of studying in a university, chasing my goals, and taking different paths toward the future I wanted. But then, the pandemic happened. It still haunts me sometimes. I wonder who I would be today if it hadn’t. It's been five years since that life-changing event, and I still think about what could’ve been—what course I would’ve taken, who my friends would be, whether I would’ve loved my subjects or regretted my choices. But maybe everything happened for a reason. From being that shy, naïve, and hesitant first-year student, now you're here—graduating and holding the degree you worked so hard for. You’ve come so far. I guess… we all grew up. After this, we’ll take different paths—some will travel, others will find careers they love, some will rest, and others may finally pursue their first dream. Just like how fast the night changes, we went from searching for a school to finding what life has to offer. We’re discovering our purpose. We’re searching for the missing pieces of ourselves. "We all started unsure, scared, and full of doubt—but look at us now, still standing, still trying, and slowly becoming who we’re meant to be." Before, you weren’t sure if you could make it—unsure if the road you were on was the right one. But because you dared to try, and had the courage to keep going, you made it. You’re now close to reaching the dreams you once only whispered to yourself. If you ever look back to the day you enrolled in your college or university, you’ll remember the dreamer inside you. The one who often complained, yet still showed up. The one who cried, but kept going. And now, it’s all worth it—right? You were always capable of making it this far. My prayers and hopes for you: may we all win in life. May our struggles, hustles, and sleepless nights be worth it. We don’t know what tomorrow holds, but I pray that in the coming months and years, you’ll reach your dreams—whether people believe in you or not. Because studying is hard. Working is harder. And earning money is even harder. Glory to God alone. ✨💐🌷
