Yesterday I found out that one of my college teachers passed away, I think on Saturday evening. He died of a heart attack after playing a few games of basketball. He was my age.
Now before you start thinking how I can have a teacher that's the same age, that's a story for another blog post.
This teacher of mine was someone I considered a friend, so the news did hit me a bit hard. It was also a reminder to me that life is fleeting, and you have to make the most out of what time you have here. Aside from this you also need to have a good perspective on life so that no matter when your time comes you will at least have had a life that you were grateful for.
Rest in peace, sir Mark. It was a pleasure to have been your student and your friend.
Out.
