It's so darn weird how time passes. I can still remember walking the reception hall to receive my High School diploma in 2004. And yet it was only a couple of months ago that I received my college diploma from Allegheny College--graduating with High Honors. Now it is so surreal to think that I am already in Med School. Some of my fellows are either in Med School as well, a few in Law School, many of whom are in Graduate school pursing their MA, MS, MBA or their Ph.Ds.
Many still are either working. I just found out from former high school friends that 4 people from our high school batch of 2004 are already engaged, some are already married and some are already parents.
Then I think to myself, "My God, has it been that long? Has 5 years passed so quickly?"
Then I realize that it is so. I realize that my younger brother, Don Rico, is turning 16 this May and is already a sophomore in high school and that within 2 years span, he will be starting his first year of college (undergraduate).
Truly, Truly it is true what scripture states:
For everything there is a season,
And a time for every matter under heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;
A time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to throw away stones, And a time to gather stones together;
A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to seek, and a time to lose;
A time to keep, and a time to throw away;
A time to tear, and a time to sew;
A time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate,
A time for war, and a time for peace.
- Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8
Glory to God in the Highest,
And Peace to His people on Earth.
