College farewell! End to an era.

 

In the name of Allah, who is most gracious and the merciful.

There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. As much as I have looked to this day, I always disliked endings. Today I came before you with a lot of emotions. This is not a goodbye, just a farewell for now! While I am very excited and enthusiastic for stepping into new era but also feeling very sad that I will be leaving my college now. This place has been a second home for me where I have spent 4 crucial years and learnt a lot of new things. I still remember the day when my father left me here, I was absolutely raw. I was highly nervous as I felt that I would not be able to adapt to this environment. I recall my classes in 1^st year where Tamil words were my closest enemies, home sickness, fear and adaptation to new climate and mostly the food, everything was a challenge to me. Days passed and I got new friends, I started to learn language. Thanks to Almighty, within the short period of time I overcame all these barriers and with the grace of Allah I learned Tamil. I am feeling very lucky to have a college like this but unfortunately due to pandemics, I lost a precious part of my college life. I certainly was raw and whatever I am today, it is the product of my teacher’s sheer hard work and untiring efforts. The teachers were extremely kind and always supported me throughout my journey. They not only taught me but guided me to be civilized, cultured and educated in the life ahead. Secondly my sincere thanks goes to my dear friends who were always with me throughout the ups and downs. I could still remember the 1^st outing I had with my friends, they took me hand in hand as I was a kid and showed me places, I do remember the fun we had in hostel. And most important thing about my friends is that they are my guru’s for learning Tamil. Furthermore I will miss those fun moments- whether be playing in ground, chilling in canteen or chanting in corridors.

A wise man has said “To err is Human”, I apologize with love in my heart and hope you will forgive my all mistakes and if I have hurt anyone in any way. Last but not least, I would like to thank my parents who always were supportive and loving.

Thank you all!
