Ten Years, Move On
by jonathan bayogan
Finally, it is over, and done. My DOSCST stay, that is. It was 10 years and 29 days, officially. Ten years as president, 12 days as OIC-president and 17 days as professor. It was the longest, continuous period I ever stayed in one place, a full 20% of my life to date. July 16, Monday, was my first day at USEP, the third day today (July 18). All slow, uneventful days, as if with a big feeling of letdown. In reality, there is that real feeling indeed - fatigued, heavy, drained, worn out. But feeling new, optimistic, propitious. Ten years is ten years and one just couldn't "throw" any portion of that away. Great time, great experiences, great lessons, great people, great colleagues. Not all, actually, and that is because life offers diversity of experiences; not just white or black but a variety of shades in between. Definitely no regrets, and a few disappointments. It was a good time to move, it was the right time to move. I never doubted there was at all a need for me to stay any longer. It was the best time to pass on the baton. Some were eager it should have been earlier, some wanted that I held on. But most knew it was my call and respected it when I answered the call. Of course, I would have wanted to say "thank you" to all and I mean to all colleagues. Well, I did, but missed some people I would have thanked and said good bye, too. So here's my special thanks and goodbye to them and to all (as DOSCST colleagues, anyway). Friendships will remain forever, specially those that are rooted right. I wish everyone well in your present undertakings and wish you even better things in your future concerns. It was great knowing you and working with you. Sooner or later, bits of fine memories of the ten years will occasionally flash back, fresh and ever green. And, like good music, these will pleasantly reverberate and fill the air - to nurture the soul. Thanks to all: faculty, staff, students and the community. |
