Cherished memories forever: Remembering McGill University
I can still remember McGill University as if it were only just yesterday. This is where I can say that I truly enjoyed so many wonderful university days. I met so many great students from around the world and there was something else!
This was the time when I got my first cornea transplant and accordingly it gave me a delightful opportunity to discover so many new things with my new vision. I learned to walk the McGill campus. I discovered the trees and snow banks. I stared openly at tall buildings and ice sculptures. I learned how to navigate restaurants on campus, find my way around the book store and most of all, I learned how to find my classrooms all by myself.
I shall forever remember graduation day when Jennifer walked with me across the stage to collect my MBA certificate. There I was, trying my best not to look out at the audience but remembering in time to bow to them as I walked. Then I remembered seeing everyone standing, my parents and so many from the MAB were also there to watch me graduate. What a fantastic memory!
Then the delicious dinner afterwards at a fabulous Chinese restaurant. Thanks to my parents, the day could not have ended on a better note!
Just to think that years later our Canadian Governor General was my principal when I graduated from McGill.
I thank all of my professors and student volunteers. I thank the staff of the MAB! So many to mention! I thank the volunteers at the MAB! But most of all? I thank God for having enabled me to discover so much, especially so
with my new vision!
