[2:52 AM]
Who would have thought that being in NS could also mean forming friendships with very important foreign delegates, brushing shoulders with top notch political players of the region, meeting representatives from various United Nations bodies and having them telling you that your presentation feels like a scene out of a Sci-Fi movie? Every single day spent in this damned academy been a blessing in disguise. Every single day ahead that I simply refuse to look forward to regardless will secretly bring me unexpected wisdom, truth, pain and anguish. Every day in here is never the same. It was in this wretched place that I teared most with pride for having succeeded doing something I never thought I'd ever be capable of. Who knew I was made for teaching? I didn't know I had such a gift, I was never good at it! Who knew I was made to speak? Who knew there was such thing as paternal instinct in me? Who knew I could lead? Who knew this little soft boy could raise his voice and command respect from his subordinates? Who knew this campy little fellow could use words and only words to make one cry with shame and sudden self-realisation? Who knew pride and discipline were to be my key principles in life? Who knew I'd get myself a boss who admires me for who I am not just the kind of work I produce, because what I am is what he's lacking? It's a clear indication that rank and position don't mean a thing if you don't have a good heart, besides we are all equal in the eyes of god.
Nobody knew. Likewise nobody will know for sure what tomorrow brings. Everyday I learn something new about myself, be it good or bad, in this place I work. Valuable life lessons people tend to be deprived of, and I get them free of any charge. For that I thank You dear Almighty.
