In life we face various challenges and it does not matter how many times we fall but whether we rise at all and seek our objectives in life. I’m not exceptional in surmounting challenges of life and it is for this reason I expose one of my greatest journeys of life towards attaining education.
I quote three of greatest men in history who have motivated me in life when I read of their history. Nelson Mandela was in prison for twenty seven years but he didn’t lose sight of his purpose. He said “It always seems impossible until it is done”. I therefore realize impossibility is a state of mind.
Martin Luther King Jr. fought for the rights of black people in America and led the greatest civil rights movement. He too had his eyes set to a purpose and he said “We must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope”. Disappointments riddled my journey but I kept hope alive at every step of the way.
Abram Lincoln, the christened father of History was president of the United States of America at a time of civil war. He led his nation through this gruesome ordeal and realized the American dream by abolishing slavery. He once said “Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it, the tree is the real thing”. I’m driven by character of determination and zeal not to defeat purpose.
It took me twelve years to earn a degree I would have earned in four years or otherwise less. Be motivated by my story as I do this narration to you.
