The Finale

Yes, 2 years have sped by. I ponder and think, where did all this time go? What did I really do these 2 years. My life has been sped by and another chapter comes to a close. Have I learnt anything in this second adventure as a student. Well, that is a big question that has to be answered. Yes, I have. Having grown up and always been associated with people older or more mature than myself, I had no idea how to relate to anyone who was younger to me. Is that a bad thing. Well, of course. Today I have 24 young and vibrant individuals that I shared 2 years of my life with, as well as a handfull of visiting students from across the globe. 2 years that I spent learning them as much as they did learning about me. Its a journey and one that has to be walked with others. Life is all about those we interact with. In the last 2 years, I have met all sorts of people. Deep to the shallow. And yet, my outlook about what my purpose in life has not changed. While most of my class still have very little idea as to what to do with their life, I started my course with a sense of purpose. One that I thought I know for sure. I however, have ended the course with a sense of understanding that nothing we plan seldom remains as plans and even less chances that we execute them the way we planned.

Today I stand and write this blog as a social worker who is now searching where to go next. This traveller has many more exciting adventures and the 2 years of a masters course was just the begining. I feel life is to be lived, and we live it the way we choose to. So live it so that it is fulfilling. I should be able to look back in 60 years and say, wow, I did live a life and made a mark on whatever it is that I wanted to do.

As I await my next adventure, I sit still to listen to the still voice that is from Above.
