Day One 'Out Here'

I’m leaning on the grill from the fifth floor of the current place of residence, listening to hymn instrumentals. It’s 6pm.I’m enjoying one of the most beautiful scenery of nature; magnificent, dimly red-orange beautiful rays of the sun going down. I like it. It helps me get critical and deep about life as well as acting as a relaxer.

Last night I didn’t have a chance to sleep having gone to a sleep over organized by Rays of Hope. On arrival at the venue I’m thrilled by the creativity and entrepreneurial nature of the owner who has built a conference facility at his place of residence for hire. It’s in a low density estate gated community.

As introductions continue it really hits me hard and emotional to remember what had happened during the day. Parting ways with some of the most brilliant people I’ve spent my time with for the last four years. I remembered the laughter we’ve ever had, the team building activities, the challenge they gave me, the struggles we went through and here I was saying goodbye. For once I hated the closeness I created and endeavored to have with all my course mates.

Time flies, I’ve no single regret of how I spent the moments in campus. What mattered to me most is not the grades I’ll leave with like the social network I’ll have once I was out of Campus and also what I will leave behind once I’m out of that place. People were and will always be my true single investment I made in my four years. We learnt from each other not to forget those I interacted with even in lower years of study. As Randy Travis puts it in his song three wooden crosses, it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you, but, what you leave behind once you are gone.

  

Once again I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude for finding a minute to have a chat

with me. I treasure you all and more so UoN, Bachelor of Commerce class of 2014.May the Almighty Jehovah see you through in all your endeavors. May doors open in all the places you knock and be received warmly. Despite the don’t care attitude in the world, for once it will be different for us.

…the introductions were halted as one the Alumni ray wanted to have a word with us. He was a brilliant speaker and had comical delivery skills. He left us with a classical scenario of what will happen to our lives, that despite the fact that aircrafts differ in the way they take off in the end they all fly at above 30,000 ft altitude,autopilot level. In the long run we will all be flying at 30,000+ ft it does not matter how long it will take us or the method we shall use. See you there.
