At Last

5. The Graduation Day

10 September 2014

"I thank God for this beautiful day, our Graduation Day. Without Him, there'll be no us and even this beloved university. I'm standing here before you all today to share my brief experience after all this time studying here. I didn't expect that I would be here because my dream was to travel the world. But then, I ended up studying here with people that wouldn't stop supporting me. Having lecturers and friends like you all is such a blessing to me. Firstly, I would thank Professor Eugene who never stopped reminding me to always believe in everything I do. You're there everytime I needed you, no matter how busy your day was. You're like my second father, caring and wise. Secondly, I would thank Professor Lilac, my one and only cute tiny lecturer. You helped me a lot here, prof. I can't imagine my life here without your help. I remember when you taught me for 3 hours and I still didn't understand the material. But eventually, you succeeded in making me able to stand here right now. I would also thank other lecturers who never gave up to teach me and help me along the way. Thank you for those bad scores which made me fight more and more. Thank you for making me see that life is not about studying and studying. The most important thing is no matter how smart you are, if you don't have a good heart, then you're nothing. Four years studying here is a short time. And I know there'll still be a long journey ahead. Later, we will go all over the world to work, to survive. The last thing I would say is no matter where you go, always take your heart with you. And don't forget to always love what you do and do what you love."

I finish the speech well but there is something there. Who is that guy? He doesn't stop looking at me from his seat. He's very different. I never see someone like him before. He is cold and sarcastic from this distance. Who is he? Who is he?
