School has begun.. Life lessons in perspective

The writing had been on the wall for the longest of time, it was only waiting to happen...

.me buried in textbooks. instead of writing a monologue regarding the first night of lessons, let me share with you this lesson I've learn in my pursuit of education.

I won't deny there have been days where I've a tinge of regret of not pursuing my undergraduate studies immediately after National Service. Today, a second opportunity to further my education is here and I'm holding onto it tight.

I enjoy the process of learning. The whole adventure of stretching your mind and challenging concepts and finally appreciating how things are taught in a certain manner.

I used to hold dear to the belief that if at the right environment combined with the right season, education would be a breeze. And for the longest of time, I told others, the season for me to return to study is yet to come. I waited, and waited.. for the right signs to study again... signs such as getting back my confidence, having the right finances, or even just the hunger to study.

I waited for over 2 years. Finally, I saw a glimpse of the right timing, and I applied. The issue was the the readiness to receive education, and not getting through the application process.

Today, I bear you testimony, that my belief is gravely mistaken. There might never be an opportune time, EVEN IF YOU PRAY AND SEEK God's will .. and just WAIT. Unless I follow up with it my actions of faith, I might never experience the opportunity to see how God will work in my life through this predicament.

Is this the right season for me to continue studying?? Nah, my mind is like an over-soaked sponge. But hey, this is as good a time as any to get rid of the junk so that new knowledge can be absorbed!
