Graduate Elation

The feeling of accomplishing something is invaluable. And as students finishing a degree that has taken years in the making, not just the three or four years it took to complete the degree but the academic career that had been embarked upon from as early as primary school, the elation is visible from head to toe. Today is the day of our graduation from Cambridge University.

It often felt like we were being put through an assault course and our intellegence was being tested, emotionally, intellectually, morally and phyically.

The fact is that through the contsant mental and intellectual stimulation we made it through staying true to ourselves, our origins and our views. It takes resilience and self assuredness to thrive and show that we can achieve at such high standards and under such high pressured environments of being pushed intellectually non stop.

Even when we felt lost amongst the sea of big fishes, what was most important was that we could still shine.

Now we look to the future that seems so bright and we can only hope that our dreams do not fade in a world so harsh and wide.

It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
