Clearing the ever building up clutter in my cupboard I chanced upon my mark sheets collected and preserved carefully over the years. I looked and smiled in wonder knowing that in some time to come they will be nothing more than pieces of paper having served their purpose long ago. I always had a yearning to create an identity for myself where I would be known as myself and not as someone's daughter or sister and hence had decided to work after I finished my studies. This decision stuck with me for a long time but little did I realize the aim was achieved the moment I had started out to achieve it.
A few months back a chance encounter with an old teacher brought about the realization, that I had indeed created an identity for myself in the places where ever I have gone. I have created for myself what I wanted with people whose opinions mattered and I have left lasting impressions on those who are not easily impressed, so much that one meeting and we have remembered each other for years to come. There cannot be a bigger achievement for me academically and professionally.
Hence today I can rest in peace knowing that I achieved what I set out for in every dimension.
