The Calm After the Storm

I happened to look out the window and for the first time in 4 days, I can finally see a faint ray of sunlight.  It finally broke through the thick gray clouds!  It's still very cloudy indicating more rains but at least it's not a continuous downpour as in the past 3 days.  The rain would still come in spurts so an umbrella or coat should never be out of reach when going outdoors.  You never really know when it's going to suddenly pour out from the sky...no warning drizzles.

A Glimpse of Hope for Today's Youth in a Graduation Photo

It was not long ago when we heard or read about the shocking news of a student who committed suicide out of frustration in her school's enrollment policies.  That incident sparked the ire of many people, putting the blame on the school administrators all the way to the government higher ups.  Whatever the mitigating circumstances were, it is a tragedy that we hope would not be repeated.

On a more positive note, it is very inspiring to read about a recent graduate who posted a picture on his Facebook account.  What caught the attention of many, including myself is that he had the photo taken beside the grave of his parents.


There's an interesting story behind the photo which you can read here: How a graduation photo inspired thousands
