Awakening

A title page huh? Thats convenient, humans like titles. It keeps everything neat.. orderly. In our society, we are so use to hearing about stages that we need to keep naming stages so we can make sense of our world. It must have a "title" or else it is not considered real. Well I can do that too, I can play along with this life. I have entered a new title of my life. No longer am I a college student, or even a "student" of institution. I have exited out of that title and adopted a new title, student of life. It was if my batizado was complete. I have walked that stage, I have adopted that new arena of life. I have passed the days of summer schools; gone are the days of finals and tests. I try to find meaning in this new life of mine, for my old life was planned out since day one.

16 years of my life has been institutionalized and here I am, wanting more. Given the choice to pursue what I want, I decide, knowingly want to pursue life structured, because structure leaves room for predictability and predictability leaves room for success.
I guess I have found my title after all. Learning to cope with what is ahead is man's greatest attribute for success. The ability to be optimistic about things can help in times of harshness in the most peculiar way.
