Make It Last

A colorful array of talents highlighted the 4th day of the 6th Recollect Augustinian Youth Summit – the cultural night. Who said that only the seminarians had talents to be shared? Our delegates also shared the talents of their own.
Different talents – singing, dancing, acting, miming – were showcased which proved that the delegates were not just ordinary students in their schools. The delegates from SAA, Bayawan and USJR, Basak danced their very own festivals: Tawo-tawo in Bayawan and Sinulog in Cebu. The presentations of the delegates from CSR, Trece Martires, Cavite; SSCR, Canlubang; SSC-R Manila were different. They did the miming, and the audience was all in awe. Everything turned out well as expected.
And we were down to our last day together…
Despite the blissful cheers shouted by the delegates during the cultural night, the feeling of sadness and the wanting to make this experience last forever were already very evident in their faces. Time ticked so fast that many did not realize that the 6th RAY Summit was almost over. As the experience of parting ways neared, all were set to pray for one another and to reminisce the wonderful moments they shared with each other. Who knew, one day, the paths of seminarians and delegates would cross again. No one would know nor tell, all simply needed to believe, hope and pray.
