Never have I heard anything more divine

What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness, and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer, ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’?” - Friedrich Nietzsche

Never have I heard anything more divine. This journey has been well worth every step. For the gems that were placed in my path for me to seize, for the most beautiful of people I have met, for being the one institution I pride myself so greatly to graduate from - thank you, Ngee Ann Polytechnic. 

There is so much to be grateful for. Though my chapter has now closed, my journey with Ngee Ann has yet to conclude - it will not, not until my youngest batch of juniors graduate and leave their lasting imprints on the next. I have been given so much by Ngee Ann, that much as I had served through Ambassadors and served through performing my best in my academics, I never feel it is enough. And so my commitment as I approach official graduation tomorrow is to keep this connection spirited and vital - my journey shan't end, for through all possible capacities, I commit myself to being an active serving alumni.

Labour of love? No doubt, but never has it been nor ever shall it be regrettably so.
