The Number Five

In five minutes I will be taking the late bus home. 

Five hours from now I will be studying for my

Anatomy and Physiology exam.

Five days after will be the last day of my

grad-school experience. 

Five years later will be my last month of college education 

to get a masters degree for Athletic Training. 

The number five represented as time can be interpreted

 by many as a long time,

or a short time. 

An inspirational person once asked me, 

"What will you do with the time that has been granted to you?"

 I took a deep five-second breath and said:

 "Start the clock, and enjoy the show."
