Forget being a dentist and looking into peoples mouths, I'd rather look into the windows of their soul.

After practically being handed a job last Monday during my eye exam, it helped me come to one very important conclusion in this ambiguity I call my life - I'm going to become a doctor.

Today, I finished my last exam of the Winter semester. In light of my new personal discovery, I now have nine beautiful years of post secondary school to look forward to. Like Muhammad Ali said, "The will must be stronger than the skill." I know I have the skill to become an optometrist. It is my will that is being tested.

May 25th, 2008.

I was sitting down in one of the pews when I saw you walk into the church with your girlfriend at the time. After mass I called out your name and you turned around to greet me with a friendly hug. We spoke very briefly. I didn't want to keep the two of you from your lunch date. After we said our good byes, a strange feeling came over me. I hadn't seen you in months prior to that accidental run in. I felt bad and more embarassed that the last impression I was leaving you with was one of a girl with braces who, on that Sunday, wore the wrong attire to church.

As soon as you were at a safe enough distance where my voice would be inaudible to your ears, I turned to my cousin and said, "Ate, I had such a huge crush on him back when I was in high school." After saying this, I smiled to myself because I knew that to be the partial truth. A fragment of those feelings still, for whatever reason, remained. At the time, I was so sure it was an impossibility, but I wished that one day I would be the one you took out to lunch, or be the one whose hand you held.

So much happens in just one year.

P.S. Happy Birthday, Baby Brother!
