For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

-Kahlil Gibran

OPEN THE BOOK OF YOUR LIFE

GO ON,

FLIP ITS PAGES

WHAT STORIES DOES IT TELL?

HOW DOES ITS STORIES BEGIN?

HOW DO THEY END?

WHAT IS WRITTEN IN ITS FIRST PAGES?

WHAT WILL YOU DISCOVER IN ITS VERY LAST PAGES?

WHAT SECRETS DOES IT KEEP

FROM UNWILLING EYES?

DIDN’T YOU KNOW THAT

LIFE IS A BOOK?

DIVIDED INTO CHAPTERS AND PAGES,

INTO AGES AND STAGES?

EVERYTIME WE AGE, WE ENTER A DIFFERENT STAGE

THAN THE ONE BEFORE

NEVER ABLE TO GO BACK.

YOU SEE

BACK IN 2013(IN SEPTEMBER THAT YEAR)

WHEN NEW SCHOOL EXPECTATIONS FILLED THE AIR,

A CHUBBY SCHOOLGIRL

(WHO MEANT WELL)

MADE HER WAY IN

SHE WORE A HUGE GRIN.

OH, THE BLISS OF SECONDARY SCHOOL!

SHE WAS GLAD TO TO BE IN!

HOWEVER,SHE WAS ABOUT TO THE TRUTH OF LIFE

SUBSEQUENT SCHOOLDAYS WERE FILLED WITH HARDWORK AND STRIFE

IN THE EIGHTH GRADE,

THERE CAME THE PAINS AND JOYS

SHE LEARNT TO COPE

WITH UNPREDICTABLE FRIENDS AND BOYS

SHE HAD TO MATURE

THIS WAS A WHOLE NEW STAGE

A NEW LEAF OF LIFE’S PAGE.

FAST FORWARD STILL

OH, WHAT A THRILL!

FOUR YEARS LATER!

OH GOODNESS,

IT IS 2019!

THE VERY LAST STAGE!

SHE IS seventeen and of age!

IN JUNE THAT YEAR,

ONCE MORE, EXPECTATIONS WILL FILL EVERYWHERE!

BUT THIS TIME, LIFE IS ANEW!

WHAT WILL THIS GIRL DO?

CHOICES TO MAKE!

CAREER PATHS TO TAKE!

WHAT WILL I DO?

NOW THAT LIFE IS ANEW?

A NEW STAGE!

A NEW PAGE!

HOW WILL THINGS GO?

WHAT WILL BE WRITTEN IN MY BOOK?

AT THIS STAGE?

WHAT WILL BE THE VERY LAST WORDS

ON THE VERY LAST PAGE

OF THIS CHAPTER

OF MY LIFE?
