There’s always something close to magical with firsts and starts. There’s the thrill of not knowing and at the same time, seeing that there’s a tremendous amount of possibilities waiting to unfold. There’s the wonder of new experiences and the advantage of a fresh start. There’s the reality of once again having a chance in creating history and taking a step towards our wildest deepest dreams.

Fresh starts, new environments, and first experiences that are waiting to become a reality can really be scary at times. People always have the tendency to be afraid of o

utcomes— knowing that there’s a possibility that they’re not what they thought it would be.

But nonetheless, though that’s some close-to-valid reason to be afraid, let’s not neglect the fact that without starts, there’ll be no journey, no histories, no dreams fulfilled, and no experiences felt.

So, despite all the troubles, worries, and hurt, I’m sincerely thanking all the fresh starts and new beginnings that made me who I am today— still scared but getting stronger along the way.

It’s the start of yet again another school year. Let’s face tomorrow with bright hopes. Let’s fill these semesters with wonderful memories. Let’s make this whole school year count.
