Who ever knew..

The biggest lesson and the biggest turning point in life for me began when I started college life, and that was 2 years ago. Those memories are very distinct, very vivid, that I can't possibly forget. I still remember the atmosphere, the fresh environment of stepping into a new world. A world I thought I would never be able to step in. Who knew someone like me would end up taking a diploma in counseling? But, who ever said that I couldn't anyway?

Who ever knew I could pursue in Social Science? ;)

Being a third year student is really challenging, especially if you're a diploma student. That is, it is in my point of view. Why?

To me, this is a phase where we are faced with challenges regarding our future. Our mind are constantly repeating questions upon questions regarding our future : What path should I go to for my future? Shall I continue taking a degree in counseling or should I wander off into the path of psychology? Will I be able to continue studying? Will I stop studying and work? And many more questions. But, through these questions, we grow.

If I were to think back about the past, I am thankful. And when I start thinking about my current state in the present time, I am also thankful. And when I began to think about the future, I am also thankful. Why? Because, somehow, after years of a past filled with confusion and years of not understanding about the meaning of life, finally, now, at this very moment, I still live. And I am still walking, still moving on. I can finally see my own growth over the years, and though not many has changed, but I am still moving forward and learning.

The biggest lesson I've learned so far is that no matter how many times you fall, get back up. There are still people out there who wants you, who needs you. There's no use crying, and only thinking about the pain. There's no use in staying on the ground and let others wait for your arrival. I learned to stand up, and keep on walking, despite the injury. All wounds heal, and even though they leave behind scars, that's okay. Those scars are the reminders for you to keep on moving. To not repeat the past. To be even better. To work harder. Why? Because, I live to serve the people around me. To give them my all. Before I can do that, I have to work hard on me. Love thyself before you love others.

And somehow now, I am still walking on the path to my dream. To a future that I desire. To a destination that I know I can go through.

A path to my dream.

And I will never quit.

Because, I am never alone.

I have my family, my friends, my teachers, my acquaintances, my lecturers..

But, most of all, because I have Allah SWT.

Yes. Because I have Allah SWT.

Always.

Zutto.

Siempre.
