Daphne's Journal

Few days from now, I will be marching on that aisle with a smile on my face and tears on my eyes, at last.. years of studying will be over! Soon... I was an aspiring student when I first entered college. I can still remember the first day I stepped into class full of strange faces, with a little courage to show myself and still shy to mingle with people realizing that I only came from a humble place.

It took so long for me to write again and I really missed it that I couldn't stand sitting here without sharing anything to inspire others. Gone are those days when all I have to do is relax and enjoy the holiday season and not think of anything about being productive. Our last case presentation, which is the last one for this school semester is already done last week and it was a successful one.

Well, here it is as I have promised, his message to the graduating seniors on how to focus on success.  "Seniors, I would like to congratulate you for making it this far. Three months from now, you'll be marching on that aisle together with your parents. With 99 of you, I don't want any one of you being left behind and would not make it because of some particular reasons that could have not been happened. I...
