I understand that it's been a long time coming. I guess it's about time I proclaimed it as loudly as I can. Pursuing a post-graduate degree post engineering was a dream I set up what looks like ages now. After the initial roller-coaster I began to realize that it's not as easy as it looks. Added to this, work and related travel all added to my woes. I must accept that lately it had got to the point to ridicule where everybody began questioning if I would ever complete!
All said and done I must agree that all that 'ridicule' from friends and like was meant to push me on to finish. Well, it looks like it's been decades since I set upon a dream of becoming an MBA. Now I can announce that I am one. It's been a challenge taking work and life outside work (yes, I admit work is still a big part of my life) together with all the preparation for my exams - late-nights as usual and clearing subjects actually. It just isn't the same as when you are in college.
I've increasingly found out that the harder I worked the luckier I got. There were times I didn't read well but managed to scrape in a good paper. God wasn't kind on some of those occasions. There were other when put in some sort of hard work reading for a paper but the paper itself wasn't done too well. I observed that I got lucky in a majority of those cases. Writing non-stop for 3 hours was another challenge. Every 3 months I found myself doing this exercise again and again and wondered about my stamina to do so day in and day out as a kid.
Now, that everything is done and dusted, I must admit that there is that sense of achievement. It would have probably easier for me to drop out in between. My life was getting tougher as were my papers (well, that's not relatively speaking). It makes me happy that I chugged along without giving up. Three cheers to myself :)
Well, this is the loudest I can be - letting the whole world know.
