Graduation Day= More Call Center Agents!

Today is the school's graduation day. Today marks my 3rd year out of school. Three short years translates to three long years for a boy who dreams to make it big---sooner rather than later.

I always believed that I was never born mediocre. I also foresaw that in my classmates in college. We were a bright opinionated batch, mostly misunderstood but still bright altogether. We seldom bow down to the demands of the school bureaucracy, although admittedly sometimes arrogantly so. We shun most things generally acceptable to other batches simply because we don't believe in crap like dancing or singing in the university weeks. By doing so, we have alienated ourselves from the rest of the batches below and ahead of us.

The scenario was bittersweet. Here we are, marching to the tune of You And Me Against the World (politically incorrect I may add, kay kahinay kg kasubo sang song), yet also secretly longing for social acceptance in a community of academics and conformists.

Yes, things didn't turn out so bad after all. We didn't turn out so bad after all. In fact, we are prouder than ever. My only regret is that because of our strict cohesion to each other, we also somewhat dimmed each other's potential for excellence. But the bonds that made us us will not be broken. We are victorious.

We were never born mediocre.
