2003, I remember I had admission to LASU ( Nigeria) to do my MBA. I remember I told myself that I would achieve the highest education status I could at the earliest age(hope).

But from those years, diversions happened. Life trajectories changed beyond my expectation.
I left my dream of becoming a chartered accountant after a lot hardwork and pursuit.
But in all my diversions, I still never gave up(hope). Despite the fact that there threats that I wouldn’t achieve my dreams, every situation around me spoke negative. I left a profession I had practically spent 6 years ( a year of post graduate studies) to start another line entirely.

Since 2009 I have been studying with only one year off. I fell, I picked up myself again.
Now today, against all odds, I submitted my last paper for my Masters in Divinity( Clinical Counseling).

That same Masters I would have had 17 years ago. I submitted my last paper today!!

I am super proud of how far God has brought me.

There is much more to do but I celebrate every step all the way.
You can’t understand my PRAISE UNLESS YOU KNOW MY STORY!!

Never give up on hope.
Never give up on life.
Never give up trying.
Never take diversions in life as the end.
Never think you can never rise again.

It is never over unless you give up.
It is never over unless you throw in the towel.

Watch out for my series; YOU TOO CAN RISE.

I celebrate myself. I celebrate my journey. I celebrate my ups and my downs. I celebrate who I have become in all the different seasons of life.
