forever grateful

today will be forever be one of the most significant day in my slightly insignificant life so far as for today i've finaly completed my degree...im finally after a long,hard and challenging (to say the least) road emerge as a GRADUATE MECHANICAL ENGINEER....to be honest wit you i still am trying to get use to the fact tht i am one...seriously...its gonna take awhile to sink in i think...

i must say tht i owe my success to those aroundme ....my friends....my family..and also someone tht i dont keep in touch anymore....

i'll hv to start wit my friends....i seriously doubt tht i wld hv made it if its not for u guys...each and everyone of u has somehow made/mould/influence me into wht i am today...although i know at times im not the easiest person to be wit but each and everyone of u nvr gv up and was there...frm the bottom of my heart...THANK YOU!!!!!

my whole "higher education" started because i was presented an opportunity to do so and also bcoz at tht time i didnt measure up to someone...my decision to take up the offer was mainly influence by someone..lets call her "winnie the pooh"...somehow at tht time i was seriously head over heals with her..and at tht time she was on her way to become a civil engineer and i was basically a loser selling coffee....feeling insecure and not measuring up i thought tht hving a degree wld somehow make me more significant infront of her parents eyes...silly huh how one of the most important decision of my life was made...well i will gv credit where credit is due althought u did hurt me like no one has and will...i wld hv nvr taken up the offer if its not for u so THANK YOU for being in my life and being my life at tht moment...

when i was a little kid i nvr imagine tht someday i wld be a uni grad...mayb it was the way my family was..the situation tht i was in...the conditions and circumstances tht were present at tht time...it wasnt very conducive for day dreaming...education wasnt really the thing..staying alive and afloat was more of the main agenda of the day/month/year...it was a time when a trip to McD's was a victory ..a time when hving a bday cake on my bday was not a God given fact and waking up to ppl screaming at each other was a routine....
im glad/happy/grateful i wont hv to live thru tht time ever again...
im will forever admire the strength and courage my mum showed when she took the wht i think wld be the most painful decision of her life without knowing wht wil be the following days/month and years....its safe to say tht i wont be here writing if its not for her and wht she did....so THANKS MUM...your the best!!!

lastly ...

it wld be an understatement if i said tht words cannot even begin to discribe how lucky/grateful i am to you for the chance u hv given me...without hoping for anything in return the both of u took it upon urselves to make sure tht i had every chance to be as successful as the both of u....u made sure tht i wont hv to go thru wht i went thru...u made it a point tht i had everything i needed and everything tht i wld ever want....without fail the both of u were there every step of the way...guiding,supporting and helping me ....i can only hope/dream and pray tht when i grow up i will be half of wht you are now....THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH Aunty.I&Uncle M....

may God bless each and everyone of u......

THANK YOU.
