I'm that old already?

One day, while I was out on field work. Some random person texted and asked me to talk at their career orientation.

"What? Is this serious?" (thinking out loud, yes. I wanted to retort, Am I that old already?)

Wait a minute, it's been 5 years since I graduated from college, is that enough ticket to be part of the panelists? I had a bit of hesitation, but knowing that my friendsss highly recommended me for this... and of course, it's a great honor to be invited and all, I said a hearty, YES! :)

And knowing how I am, I wanted to make my 30-minute stint memorable. So, yes, though crammed, I whipped up a montage of memories to serve as my AV as I talk.

(well, i'm not sure if you'd see this, it's a slideshow whipped up on ppt. Click the link:D)

Then, we've answered numerous questions flying here and there. Twas an interesting experience. But the best part of it all, when those "kids" came up to me and said, "You've inspired me...", or "I really wanted to work for an NGO", or "I want to be like you when I grow up".

WOOOOOW! Well, some of it may not be their exact words, but they were close, as how I remembered them. I was blown away. God was full of quirky surprises, and I got so floored on this one. Who would've thought that my experiences would've led into this beautiful montage, a well-crafted story.

Indeed, God is amazing. And all I did was tread that unfamiliar path which opened countless doorways of new knowledge and experiences. The good part? Well, there's so much more to unravel!


Oh, I also thank my good friend, Tanya, my first ever friend in college, who helped me get this fun stint.
