My Journey.

It was May this year 2014 that I received an email telling me that I had been given a place at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology.  I was so happy that I told everyone close to me about my new opportunity. Little did I know, that with time I am going to hate the idea that I had told a lot of people about my new opportunity. I was to start school in August the same year but before it even reached that far I had changed my mind about going back to school to pursue my dream course. By end of June, I had to make up my mind and resign as I had to give a one-month notice before I leave my job. This was my company policy.

I resigned at the beginning of July and as the clock ticked and days went by I realised I didn't want to pursue my Masters anymore. But by this time I had spent 1.4million to pay for my student visa and my uncle had spent 4.2 for my ticket, and on top of that I had already resigned from the job I had. But still, I wanted to stay back in Uganda. Can you imagine I was to scared that I almost gave up everything just because of a feeling I had? Another reason why I was never going to go to school is because I never wanted to leave my boyfriend, my friends and my siblings. But amazingly all the people I was thinking about actually wanted me to go on and pursue my Masters.

I finally made up my mind to travel to Norway, but I had a lot of reasons for coming which I will tell you in my next blog. Though one of them was a lesson from Yehuda Berg who says that on one hand, we know that everything happens for a reason, and there are no mistakes and coincidences. On the other hand, we learn that we can never give up, knowing that with the right tools and energy, we can reverse any decree or karma. Just these words made me realise that this opportunity wasn't a mistake, but it was meant to be. I realised I had the right tools and part of these were my family, boyfriend and friends that were encouraging me to make my dream come true.

See you again in my next blog :)
