I gazed at these balloons a few weeks ago before the board exams. While they drifted off with the wind toward the sky, I dissolved myself in the crowd of happy faces also watching it intently. It was all so vivid and unforgettable. Their amused grins hid the fact that every one of them was holding on to every piece of strength they've have left after the last weeks of hard work. All have been through a lot of sick brooding sleepless nights of studying. But still, it was excitement that filled the air back then because the time has finally come to test what they've prepared for so long. With a united yell, they tied their prayers, hopes and dreams on the balloons strings and heaved all their doubts and fears and let the Heavens carry it for them.
