(14:45:17) peace: Its the same thing with new friends and family. During my time here, I have grown from a shy, self-centered, egotistic person who cares nothing about nature and had horrible patience
(14:46:24) peace: But with the help of my master Karn, who I'm honored to have visited, Rosalyn J who has been my support throughout my journey during knighthood, senior knighting and now this one.
(14:47:59) peace: Being a member of the clergy, I understand now, that I must do the same for all you and those who will come in the future. These types of moments in any ones' life isn't something to be taken lightly. It's a moment of honor and responsibility, but also the moment that binds them closer to their second family
(14:48:48) peace: Nothing compares to the wonderful journey we all had, let alone the one I just achieved.
(14:50:15) Temple remote: Carlos.Martinez3 has been logged out (Timeout).

But also, as members of jediism, we must give us ourselves the hope to continue further because one wise person taught me that learning never stops, especially after any promotion.
