Nice way to begin a New Year !

We met in 2005 when we were around 18 years old. Due to our common entrance test scores, we found ourselves at a new college together. We were unsure of so many things like college culture, teachers, placements etc. But we were lucky to have found the people we liked and who made the journey of 4 years a pleasurable and enjoyable learning experience.

In first year, all group formation stages happened i.e Initial meetings, getting-to-know-each-other periods, forming of opinions, judging, small silly fights, times spent in studying together, eating together, roaming and shopping etc. helped in creating a bond and trust between us girls.
We understood and accepted our idiosyncrasies and enjoyed them by pulling each others legs about it !

The peer learning that I had in this group was amazing. Every person helped directly or indirectly to help others improve on their weak points ! And it is a learning that continues even today ! We have been together for almost 9 years and in constant touch even when life's pressure of Job and Marriage are on us !

A best way to start a new year is to meet old friends ! Meeting them assures us of the existence and nurturing of a bond that humans need and should value ! They help us to assess our growth in terms of maturity, physical changes, changes in our method of thinking, our distractions, our priorities and changes that have happened in us for good or bad and provide us a great source of emotional resilience to face any kind of challenge.

Thanks to Shwe, Nee and Sou, this bond is continuing even today and hope it continues for a long long time ! Thanks for a wonderful new start to a new year girls and the continuing tradition of Shwe's gifts for us for each new year !! Love you all !!!
