A revisit to the past : Memory of the World...
Stumbled upon a document while looking through my computer folders and I found this… an excerpt for a speech I was giving for my major project. Reading this document transports me back in time momentarily… I still feel breathless and exited over something that was over almost 2 years ago. Some things are too precious to forget.. and luckily, I savored every moment.
“The most...
