The best three moments of my student life

Who would have thought that I would be a student at 40 years old? I wanted this very
much...and I got it! I felt many emotions...Nice emotions but, thinking to that day when I saw
myself on the admission list, I almost live those moments today, too.
I have lived a lot af beautiful moments during attending this university. It's so difficult for
me to think only to three of them, but...
That moment when I met my colleagues who were younger than I was. I almost was
scared and wondering mysef: „Why I am here?”. They made me feeling as young as they were,
enthusiastic, willing to know new things and people.
Of course, Secret Santa...simply magnificent! It was that moment when I felt like being a
big family. And my colleagues' faces when seeing the gifts! That joy they sent... like children
who found presents under the tree! What about you?...You achieved our hearts! You have always
been next to us! All those moments I wished to live them again...
And, after all these ...letting behind all meant this university, the most beautiful moment
has not come, yet! It is, of course, the moment I attend the university. It is a sad moment, too,
becouse I won't see again the people I love so much and who remain always in my soul...and
thinking to that moment when we take the final group picture holding a graduation diploma...
It can't be compared to anything!
