  • The final few steps, the last hurdle

    In a few hours I'll be taking what could possibly be my final exam ever as an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan.

    This final semester has been a tough one. I've been tried and tested with as much possible adversity that I could take, mentally and physically. I might have not shown it to people around me, and it might not have been obvious (or it might have been for some people) but I felt like I have been tortured mind and body and it has been very very hard these few months.

    Fortunately, friends and family provided me with support, motivation and encouragement for me to climb these final few feet. At times I felt like jumping off this cliff after almost reaching the top. I felt like this ascent was pointless if it kills me in the end. Or if it kills me before I get to the top. But so many people pulled me up and carried me when I was almost drained of strength and will. And I thank everyone for that.

    As I have yet to reach the top, I still do not know if I will. And I don't know if I will like what I see once I get up there. But I know the climb has been a great experience because all of you were there with me.
