Realizations

Today is the day. The last day that I will be here; tomorrow at 2 PM, I will be leaving for Singapore. 
The moment that I have been waiting for, ever since I found out, I've been anticipating this day to arrive. 
I'm giddy, I'm excited, but most of all I'm nervous.

I've never been the most outgoing person, nor the most social person, but I am willing to put myself out there. I like my small group of friends, and hopefully these 24 other amazing students are willing to accept into their friend group just as much as I am willing to.

It all happened so quickly. (Nonetheless, I still haven't even finished packing)What happened? Nearly 2 months have passed, and my acceptance still feels like yesterday, although my giddiness has died down recently, but I feel it surfacing once again.

What is this? Awareness please don't fail me now. Be conscientious, be considerate, but most importantly please be kind.

Programs like this changes people, and I want to change for the better. I'm not just out to play; I'm out here to learn, to grow, and to thrive. I'm more than just a oxygen-addicted eukaryote. I'm a human. I pursue happiness, I seek fulfillment, and I flourish on passion.So please, let's not change for the worst. Center myself to the Tao, and everything else will follow. Let me be me, but guide me. Let me be more thoughtful and caring; most importantly, let me be more respectful. My parents brought me up this way, and I dare not to let them down. I want to be something that they are proud of, and I thank everything that they have ever done for me. Hopefully, I have matured beautifully, but deep down inside, I'll always be your little girl. Being apart from my parents for 2 months will be hard, but it will be a learning experience.

Keep smiling and laughing, because that is truly the life worth living. I am blessed.
