A Look Back at Five Years Past β¨
I can still remember how I was crying for several days before graduation, as I was feeling the end-of-an-era blues. I wasn't so sure how I would really end up in life after that event. Many months have past, I was feeling so unstable for I was afraid of uncertainty. I was uncertain of the next steps that I would take to make a progress with my career path. Should it be Med, or Research, or Academe, I even ventured Data Science and a little bit of Programming.
And now, exactly five years have past. I stand to attest that God is truly gracious. Just like what I said in a retreat, "Tagapahiluna gyud ang Ginoo".
Back then, my definition of success was going to far away places and build my own name in that foreign region, from scratch. But now, it is literally more fulfilling to serve in my own hometown, contribute to my own community and become reconnected to my roots. It is a great honor that our campus director and former department head/RIES head have given me the opportunity to lead our department. I am truly humbled and grateful for the trust you have placed in me.
Cheers to the five years and here's to the next five years! π₯
