Its has been a very special day indeed, and I really really give thanks for all of you. Through the countless interactions with each and everyone of you, through the past few years, I've gotten to know so much new things and experiences. I've spent hours of memorable time with all of you, some more than others; but nonetheless, all of you are special in my eyes. All of you will be in my prayers always. Unforgettable, is what all of you are.

At this juncture, as I cross over to the realm of being 22, here are a few things that came to my attention as I looked back and viewed things in retrospect.

1. I need to be more mature.
More specifically, I need to grow more in all areas of my life. I have already gotten enriching experiences in some aspects of my life, but it is still not complete. I still find myself lacking in other areas.

2. I need to refine myself.
As the Lord has instructed, I should be slow to anger and slow to speak unwisely. Opening my gap and spewing out rubbish without thinking properly will do no good. Both to me and other people.

3. Have more discipline and be more considerate.
The world does not revolve around me. I've given in to my whims and fancies too much for my own good. Many-a-times, I do something because I feel like it and without giving much consideration to the aftermath. In doing so, I have treaded on other people's toes quite often, sometimes without even knowing so. Thank you all for putting up with me my friends.

4. Be more tolerant.
As much as I know I shouldn't be doing this, I find myself being too quick and too harsh in passing judgement on other people. I know I have no right, but yet and I still do it.

The above list is not exhaustive, but these are the glaring flaws that I find in myself so far. Awareness is the first and easiest step. Pray for me and teach me, as I attempt to right the wrongs. To try to become a better friend, a better brother in Christ and a better son.

Thank you all so much. Words simply cannot describe how I feel!
