Finito.

Finito; finished, ended.

Formal educational institutions often place heavy emphasis on the assessment of the student performance following the delivery of a set curriculum, so as to ensure that students are effectively and adequately equipped with necessary knowledge and skills for future employment. On the other hand, the learning journey itself has often been perceived as a period of time interspersed with boundless learning opportunities, coupled with constant self-reflection and an open-mind, focusing on learning process seems to be more effective than focusing on earning a degree and gaining employment, in achieving the holistic development of an individual. However, while the unique learning process one experiences contributes to the development of character, the acquiring of soft skills and the gleaning of new insights, it would be myopic to perceive the final outcome of education as any less important and valuable than the process itself.

IN some ways, aren't we all tasked to be people we are not? Defined by societies' standard? Expected to fit the mold, thrust into our faces with the ever so pleasing tag-line: Do or die? It is of course, running away from it all should one choose to exclude oneself, but what could the individual do otherwise? Distort one's perceptions and values, in attempt to accommodate to the unjust stereotyped model one is expected to adhere to? Perhaps, perhaps not. It wouldn't be smart to go against the establishment, would it? Rather than taking camps and causing upheavals, why not take a step back, take yourself out of it? Better, no?

Tomorrow's a new mantra; let it be a new start.
Could it be able everyone settles with something, and move on ahead?
Is it possible, we cross ultimately, the final, finishing line, together?
