Closure

And at last, after 3 years of suffering, of complaining, of stress. After 3 years of friendship, of laughter, of memories. And after more than $30,000 spent in this endeavour, I graduated. Of course I was glad that it is finally over. The nights spent cramming words into an already filled brain, investing in different coloured pens to draw clear and concise graphs, and the endless feast of fast food just to get the right to sit and mug in the restaurant. It is finally over.

And as reality sets in during graduation, one certain student who was given the privilege to mutter is own opinion of his 3 years, quoted Spiderman. Overused phrase, but nonetheless impactful. With great power, comes great responsibility. And that really got me thinking. Yes, it is not exactly great power that we have attained, but we must be prepared for greater responsibilities to come. Life will never be just about memorizing notes. Never again will there be a pop quiz or test to gauge your readiness for what's coming. It is now. Greater power with even greater responsibilities.

Which leaves me with a burning question: What's next? My life has been planned since the day I was born till now, more than 20 years that I have spent being part of someone else's plans. Now it is finally time for me to step on stage. Time for me to say my lines, to play my part, to be the person I trained so hard to be all the way till now. But that question still remains, What exactly is my part? What should I act as? What's next?
