a thank to a twenty-one year of struggling

These passed few days; I have been into lots of works. It seems that I was drowned into it and had no time to take a deep breath just awhile. I became so busy that even my first day on earth was almost forgotten by me. I wouldn’t remember it if people in the surrounding wouldn’t remind me about it.

Yes, finally this is my 20 years and 364 days of living. Just hours are remaining then the following day will be my debut. If asked me what stuff I am wishing for, well, I would say nothing.

Anyway, I didn’t even notice that last year was the turning point of saying goodbye to adolescence and yes to maturity. Maybe, I haven’t oriented myself with what that age should act like. Honestly, it’s just recently when I have finally admitted myself being enough matured, being adult. Yet still I am a child at heart.

As I flash back to review such almost 21 years of memories, let me guys take this opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you.

First of all, I want to thank those people who greeted me days ahead. With your hugs, smiles and touching messages, I am almost full.

To my classmates, co-writers, teachers and mentors, thank you for imparting me your stories and perspectives. What guts I have now are one thing that I should be thankful about.

To my enemies, you guys serve as my motivation why I strongly keep in touch with GOD every time I call upon Him, asking His helping hand so as for me to face the world’s challenge with no doubts and fears.

Of course, to my best friends, not to mention them all, I extend this gratefulness to you for those four years of meaningful bonding we’ve been through. If somehow there were so many things I missed with the group and wasn’t able to justify my being a friend, kuya, a buddy, then pardon me. Thanks for the claps, praises, feedbacks, attentions, and recognitions. With you, I now have the courage to face all my endeavors, may it be best or worst.

To my beloved family --- Ma, Pa, ate, kuya, cousins, Titos, Titas, a billion of thanks for giving me such inspirations, strengths and hope to keep in this right track. Thanks for believing and cheering me up toward my set goals through thick and thin. Just keep on my side.

Above all, to Almighty God, this thankfulness is also for you. There would be no such wonderful years, no blessings without your presence, and guidance. Continue your blessings to us throughout the coming years.

For this new chapter of my life, I’m hoping to see you once again making the upcoming years more fruitful and brighter as we hand in hand embrace the challenges of God’s greatest gift.

Again, I thank you.
