For five long years, I waited for the opportunity to further my education after Senior High School. While my colleagues were graduating from university and starting their careers, I was still waiting for my chance. It was a difficult and trying time, but I refused to give up. I held onto hope and trusted that God had a plan for me.
That plan became clear when I received a fully funded scholarship from Mastercard to pursue my undergraduate studies in Mauritius. It was a dream come true, and I was overjoyed. God had answered my prayers in a mighty way.
Fast forward to today, I am proud to say that I have graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University with a honours degree in Business Management. It was a journey that tested my patience, perseverance, and faith, but it was worth it.
Looking back, I realize that God’s timing is perfect. When He seems to be delayed, He is actually preparing us for something greater. I learned to trust in His plan and to prepare myself while waiting.
To those who may be going through a similar experience, I want to encourage you to hold onto hope. Don’t give up on your dreams, even when it seems like they are slipping away. Keep preparing yourself, and trust that God will come through for you in His perfect timing.
In the words of Romans 8:28, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” May my story be a testament to the power of hope, faith, and perseverance.
Ama
