I
sort of missed this. Writing and expressing your thoughts. Writing without the
margins of a recommended thesis format. No APA format. Hahaha. It has been a
while since I last logged into my blogger account. It feels great to be back.
It feels great to have finished what you have started.
My
graduate school journey has not been a smooth one. I have not consistently
enrolled with a “full load” so I know I will not be able to finish in two
years. Second Semester, AY 2011-12 should have been my earliest plausible day
of finishing my graduate studies. But many things, to my dismay, affected my
emotional stability, focus, and self confidence. I went into depressive states
many times; not necessarily becoming psychologically incapacitated to be
confined in a mental institution. But surely enough to derail me in my thesis. And
even the dreaded Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever contributed to it.
I am very fortunate to have been surrounded by people who gave me the necessary
push to continue and finish instead of just quitting. I am also thankful of having
found in time a new sense of faith. Add to it a series of “Keep Calm”
reminders. It has become from a simple
schooling to a mission. To show to the people who believes in me that I can do
it. It was tough. It was nerve-racking. Yet, I was able to make it.
To all my professors, classmates, and to my research adviser, I say thank you even if I know no form of thanks is never enough to
show my appreciation. To family and loved ones, thank you. I just love you all. And most importantly, to
God be the Glory. Prayers are indeed powerful.
