Finding the Beginning at the End

As you can tell from the date above it is the eighth of May. I graduate on the 27th of May. Accordingly, my life will start. That is right I said start. For 18 years I have lived with my parents of course. However, I will shortly be leaving on my own. With its comes freedom and to be hardship that will come with it. A couple of days I was reaffirmed that our valedictorian will be who they were-I was not surprised at all. I've known who was for approximately seven years. As I mentioned before somewhere in this thing. I know there'll always be someone who is smarter and better than me and every noticeable fashion forevermore. I do not mind being passed by, but it is harder when you are eclipsed by so many. Slowly my callous for being bested will build to a level that I'll need. Jealousy and envy achieve nothing.

It comes to mind that people, most people attend school because they are under the impression they have to. In most cases this is true. The people who finish primary school then carried that impression over into college. Although college is not technically required by any law our society has made more or less a necessity. It would be good for people to change their views about college. Culture encourages college but it will be easier to attained and pass if your personal "have to" turns to "want to".
I am going to college because I do need to. Perhaps while I'm there my want will slowly come. Good luck to all who is sharing this journey and congratulations to all who accomplished it. May you have prosperity on the journey to follow.
Finally, I will leave this thought more for myself than anyone else. It is important to known what is at the end of the journey for if you know what is at the end its may empower you to make it there. As for me, I have many ends. What is my last end? Something so far at the end then it becomes a beginning. I live in the so-called Bible Belt, as a result I was raised as Christian, but being raised as a Christian does not make you one. At the end I found something. That something, I am still decoding and probably will do so the rest of my existence. Until I cease to be, I'll always wonder, I never know I might find.

May you find God in your own time. Or at the very least look a couple times while you can and see what is there for you.

As always,
Nathan Lee
