Oh when the days go MARCHing in
Well..well. March is usually a time for happy endings — like graduation — which is also a start of great beginnings. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. I really didn’t want to go and attend the ceremonies because I didn’t want to make a big fuss out of it. After all, even if I didn’t attend the event, I know for a fact that I will eventually get my diploma and the other documents.
But for some people, it is a monumental event. Perhaps because it signifies the end of all the sleepless hours, cramming for requirements and all academic pressures. And yet, it is also frightening, because it means that you have to have the courage to face a new world of challenges that may be totally unknown to you — the so-called "real world." It’s just so "adult."
So to the graduates of batch 2007, especially to UST Engineering’s Centennial batch, kudos and congratulations!
