At the onset of graduation
The past week was devoted to adventure, freedom and surprise. I enjoyed my little getaway trip to Baguio with my fellow student-leaders of COA. I have grown absolutely close with them. Our experience throughout the year was life-changing - giving us a fresh perspective, an added push and a much needed sense of clarity. And after all the heartaches, headaches, and stress, we were ready to take advantage of the cool weather and indulge freely. It's quite baffling how inebriation for college students somehow sums up that momentary kind of freedom, where your senses are wildly disturbed and heightened at the same time. It's always about the group you are with anyway.
Presently, I have different groups that I hold very dear to me. Our dynamics are all very different, but the shared experience somehow holds us together beautifully. This particular group, my insanely crazy COA loves is purely one of a kind. Our adventures in Baguio have lives of their own! haha! Too crazy to retell or verbalize. One thing is for sure: I will miss each and everyone of them, as much as I will miss everything about being a student leader and putting all our hearts and minds collectively all for our genuine desire to pursue nation-building. Of course, this will carry on throughout my life.
This week was definitely devoted to a lot of downtime. Fixed my files - computer and those in my room. Liberating experience to de-clutter and put some tangible finality to the experience of graduating. I was also glad to help out fellow COA people, Magel and Amor for their Blue Roast film project. Throughout the year, my film credits grew! haha. It's definitely fun. These are just one of the few things that I am glad I have left behind Ateneo. I believe I could not have asked for more. I feel content upon the onset of my graduation. I have learned, lived and loved in the most powerful, interesting and memorable ways. And it has given me the courage and desire to do, be and reach out for more.
Am I ready for law school? I would like to think that the idea is something that I have reconciled with. I am excited to study and learn more. I am excited to be immersed in an entirely different atmosphere. I am excited to meet people with beautiful hearts and engaging minds. And if it proves to be otherwise, then I am excited to be compelled to make positive changes internally and externally. Polsci has somehow allowed a person like me to consider gray areas and float somewhere in between realism and idealism.
I am never fully ready. There will always be a struggle inside of me that will hold back a little. I am an unsettled soul, and for the most part this has waged battles. From all the dearly philosophical quests I have embarked on, it has taught me to look at the purest, sincerest picture of humanity. Of the Infinite. And so I yearn and pray for solitude to continue finding me and for myself to find it amidst the world I, together with my batchmates will engage in. In all its political, economic, cultural and spiritual turmoil and brokenness, I remain hopeful.
