I've accomplished so much and I am so blessed to be where I am now. Without those people around me supporting me I don't know if I would've made it. I have the most supportive family in the world!! They were always there to support anything I wanted to try even if they knew I shouldn't. My parents were always concerned about studies, but they also put me in so many extra curricular activities that it help shape me to become the outgoing person that I am. It's true I am all over the place and there were questions whether I would stay in school and finish but by having role models, like my parents who believed in never giving up, help me push through and succeed. My sisters always have my back even when I wanted to play club volleyball and my parents didn't want me to they helped my parents see that it was important to me and if i didn't have volleyball I don't know if I would have passion for other things at all.
God has also blessed me with 6 of the best friends in the world! yes people 6. 3 of which have been my best friends I'd say since I was 4. we had our drama but any drama has always brought us back together. Sandra, Diane, Alexis, Magtang, Crissa, and Steph. These 6 have always been able to keep in line, and also to keep me focused. We have a respect for each other that not very many people would know of. It's a weird way to show love but making fun of each other, mocking each other, beating up on each other is what we do and we love each other for it.
There's so many people I'm greatful to have in my life. My volleyball crew, my nursing friends epecially Christine who help me see something back in my first year of nursing that not many people were able to crack out of me. I've grown so much since my first few years in college/univeristy and I am only now slowly seeing where the changes are. It's weird to see me at this stage but I am ready for the challenges God has set for me. He has continued to guide me and I continue to follow that path He has planned for me.
Really to tell the truth it is only where I feel comfortable saying I am proud of myself. I feel I am at that point now where I know what I want. I know where I want to go and I feel that I will be okay no matter what I choose. It's a fun time to be in. I close my childhood chapter and now I face the new chapter that people call "Being a Grown-Up"

Aw. I love u too Gail. *tear*
Honestly it is bittersweet to see you graduate. I think what I loved about u still being in school for a long time reminded me that youth and being chill and not worried about security (tho maybe u might have been sometimes) and other stupid things that adults worry about, kept me sane and reminded me that there are better things in life than being worried about my career. Which is still in the works!! hahah!!!
I'm so proud of you.. although u were always the baby of our crew in some ways u are also the most adult of all of us cuz u always kept (and continue to keep) us in check about what's important in life (like having fun) and taking care of our health (except for when u get drunk, we all screwed then) and navigating on the road or when we are abroad. (yes, we CAN do Singapore in a day!)
Although you may be officially "grown-up" now, never change. Adulthood is overrated, and our crew is forever young. ;) Congratulations again and let me know when the next trip is!!!
PS Nice sweater Maricel.

Wow...naming names...you know what happens when people name names? Well, I won't bug you with the details because YOU'RE NOT IN SCHOOL ANYMORE. Hazah!!! It feels freaking fantastic and it sucks (Note: phone calls from me within last few months. I apologize. This is what happens when you have more money as a student on a student loan than as an "adult".) However...it's ab fab baby. :-) You're finally doing what you've been studying to do. No more practice (trust me, it's great).
I'm glad I was finally in the same city to celebrate your freedom because it was definitely my turn to fly out. Next time, it's yours although it looks like I might beat you to it so it looks like you owe me double....yeah, that's right. Double. Muah ha ha.
No day but today.
Love,
Steph
