Yesterday was my dear friend Aralor’s 18th birthday.

This day marked the formal launch of his journey as a man. I say ‘formal’ as really, he’s been on that journey for quite a while now. He’s been pressing on towards the prize laid in front of him and I’m looking forward to the many things he will accomplish.

Chasing after his dream of working in the film industry, he’s almost done with his degree in video production. Already he’s been releasing short commercials for various projects. Soon he’ll be out making a name for himself. Mm… I think he may actually be making the full transition from the education phase to the ‘real life’ phase before myself.

Additionally, during his college career, he also concurrently participated in Teen Bible Quiz. Despite the many demands on his time and energy, he stuck with his last year of quizzing. Having done that myself, I know how hard it truly is and I am extremely proud of him. Not only for the benefit for himself but also because of the impact he’s had on the younger quizzers.

Besides all that, he’s an awesome, awesome young man and I am very proud to call him my friend.

Here’s to Aralor! No longer a child but a Man! May whatever he puts his hand to find success!
