Rasha Leaving JU : End of an awesome era

Yesterday it was Rasha's Graduation. It was the first graduation I attend in my life , and it being the good bye of such a brilliant girl it gave me a weird and thorough feeling.

Mostly graduations are about being caged in a footbal stadium for straight 3 hours doing nothing but waiting for the name of the person you are there for to be called , hours pass in waiting but when you hear the name your heart jumps , and although they are only two seconds of joy after hours of waiting , its still very rewarding.

Rasha's name was called like any other , she did not achieve the highest mark or win any title or contest. Her name was one name among many other names , but in the hearts of those who knew her she glowed like a rising star.

I have known her for two years now, through another firend , and ever since she had always been an ever lasting resource of happiness , a great well to live and to let live ,, to aceot the worse nd to draw a smile ,, to invite people who are outside the circle to join and feel ''welcomed'' ... warmly welcomed ....

She is the most flexible creature ever existing still , keeping her own character and living on her own terms. There are no words enough to describe rasha , it is not that i adore her for being my friend , but for the person she managed to be during all this time.

After the ceremony i saw her mother and I said to her: Congratulations , not on her graduation , but of having given birth to such a kid.

With Rasha leaving the university its going to be a new era for me - personally - a new era with much to bring , so lets hold our breath and see :)
