and the unexpected happened
April 8, 2010As i’d mention before, we had our retreat last monday until the day after that. I was freaking out the other day ‘coz I really didn’t want to go but you know what, I’m glad I did. Even though the retreat wasn’t the go-for-the-banal-state, it was memorable. The first few sessions were boring and corny but the open forum aka heart-to-heart part was a real tear jerker! It feels good to hear from other people what they think about you and also to know that they appreciate you and thankful for the things you do to them.
The retreat was supposed to focus on goals, breaking barriers, setting bridges.. but at the end of the retreat, I wasn’t enlightened on things like that but instead I was/became thankful.. grateful for everything that happened to me, to my friends, classmates.. between everyone of us. If I was given a chance to change something or choose who my classmate would be.. I wouldn’t change a single thing and I wouldn’t add or unadd any one. I know it sounds corny but it’s true. I couldn’t ask for anything more.. those people, my classmates, whom I have been with for the past four years had touched, changed, transform me to who I am right now–the best version of my self.
In summary, the whole retreat was an experience. It was an experience not only will I remember for the next few years but an experience that will be stuck inside me for a lifetime. And thanks to my classmates and especially to these people..
..for making retreat more special and exciting for me.
