More Reasons to chase my dream..

I know it has been a while, a week or so but does it matter, hehehe I doubt. Anyway last time I promised to continue with my reasons, hmm I know you are wondering and asking yourself why I have a lot of reasons. Trust me if I didn't have all these reasons I would be in Uganda right now. And to think about it now, I would have regretted turning this scholarship down, but I guess I saved myself of that. Anyway my fifth reason was my relatives, this is my second important reason why I came. I remember when my mom made for me  a party after my graduation, some of my relatives said, 'hmm they don't have money, but they have the money to throw parties'. As if that wasn't enough, when I gave my speech, I mentioned that I was gonna apply for a scholarship so that I can go back for Masters degree and I promised my mom that I was gonna go back for my Masters whether it is self-financed or a scholarship.

After some time, that was before the applications even began, those relatives I talked about started asking my mom if I had gone back to school. I know most of them were actually bluffing because the same people said, 'hmm how will she manage to do that, I hear going abroad, instead of her looking after her siblings she is thinking about going back to school.' when mom told me about it, it kinda added to my urge to go back to school and to put in more effort when I was applying.I wanted to get this scholarship, and I was gonna stop at nothing to get it. So when I did get it and then I didn't want to go, I thought about my mom and the supposed to be relatives of mine. I needed to prove them wrong, they needed to know that I was born to aim for greater heights. So, when I looked behind I saw them and when I looked in front of me I saw an opportunity to aim for the sky, to make my mom proud. Above all to make me proud and my late dad. So this reminded me that I have never given up on anything in my life. Not even those times I felt bad about myself or about the things I have done, have I ever given up. People have tried to put me down, but I have never given up, that's when I asked myself why now Viola. Then I remembered how my mom always reminded me to pray about anything, she could tell me that with God everything is possible, even when I had doubts about getting the scholarship.

My mom stayed strong in prayer for me and she put that faith in me, even before I got a place at NTNU, I knew my place was there and that I was gonna be given. That is why nothing will ever replace you mom. I love you Mom, with all my heart sweet mom and you are God's given blessing and treasure to us.
See you in my next blog with my last reason and probably the most important one of all. Love u all and thanks for reading.
