Endings are Beginnings

by Francis Chungtuyco

When two opposing words have been shown right before our very

own eyes, realizations and interrogations would pop in our heads. Howwould an end initiate and how would begin finish? End is last and begin is

start that is how these words would be defined in distinction. evertheless,

going beyond what truly it i!plies in co!bination would !a"e you agree

with !e.

#eality bites that our world is changing swiftly. Everything refor!s in $ust a single snap

that we would be surprised it is already %&'() *t is a year that everyone will be transfor!ed into

so!ething bigger and better in which we all hope for to beco!e greatest #s so!eday. * believe

that we are all holding it now, with fir! grasp in our pal!s because we are already one step

closer towards the end of our college life, towards !eeting our goals. +stonishingly, it !erelyta"es few !onths until graduation. bvious e!otions of e-cite!ent and elation are initially

revealing because every sweat of hard wor" and endeavor that we have deter!inedly

accu!ulated has finally co!e to a flic"ering success. *n contrary, e!otions of nervousness and

sadness are possibly hovering because of the real world that awaits us and also of the reason of

bidding farewells to every person that we have treasured for the last four years of staying in our

+l!a ater. However, we !ust loo" at the brighter side of every aspect of ending.

Ending is a fresh start. *t is a beginning of so!ething new to anticipate. *!agine a tunnel

wherein at the end of it, there is always an e-it of light. *t is a new chapter to acco!plish. We are

now heading towards the real world which is $ust a new beginning, new learnings to absorb, newe-periences to capture and new ca!araderie to build. /ife is full of !ystery that it is

un"nowingly a cycle of ending and beginning wherein if we reach the end of stage in our life,

there is always a reason for us to e-plore the beginning to find out what is in store for us.

0robably, greater circu!stances are ahead of us or a better self !ay arise in the ne-t world that

we are about to enter. We ought to open the doors of our hearts and !inds positively to

refor!ations because that would result to a new version of you, a version of being !ore resilient

in struggling for the better!ent.

1here !ay be a curtain call to our years of being in the acade!e but let us all not to dig to

the grave of forgetfulness fro! where we truly started. Words !ay not be e-pressed how !uchwe are grateful for all the people who !old us to beco!e what we are at this point. Firstly, to our

+l!ighty Father, whose guidance is overflowing with love as we $ourney towards the path that

we are about to step in. 2econdly, to our parents whose relentless and unconditional love and

support have always been our e!power!ents in wrec"ing every barrier that co!es in every step

of our way. 1o our friends and class!ates whose crazy antics and incredible laughter would

always co!ple!ent our days and !a"es our college life a colourful one and lastly, to our
