👩🏿🎓
One Year Ago, on this day, I received my official degree from the Chancellor of my Alma mater with a double major in Environmental Sciences and Public Health with a high honors.✨ I never posted this on any social platform with the deep respect and appreciation it deserved. Never gave myself the deserved credits for this journey. So here we go.
It took me 2 years longer than the anticipated time due to being a second timer, and doing a 5(2+3) years Program at University. When I look back at myself in 2018, I was broken, frustrated and hopeless. Thought my "good student" reputation was gone, and I'd never be able to do a "comeback". I stopped communicating with people as constant questions were asked including "Chance paiso?" "Medical a hoise?" "Improvement er result ki?".... The list goes on..
Alhamdulillah the days have gone and table sure has turned. The 4 years+ time spent at AUW was one of the most important periods of my life. Besides academics, I have learnt skills that'll never let me down. I never fear to speak up, work in new environments and lack technical skills. Credit goes to my University and it's people of course.
The way I see life may not be similar to others and I respect that. I have always been the go-getter person by situations, if not by choice. I love how things have worked out and been working out.
I know I have miles to go before I sleep. Have a lot of in-progess responsibilities and I'll try my best to be at my fullest. It may take time, but it'll never be a give up for me. Few more degrees to recieve in a few years...
Keep me in your prayers.
