Graduated!
Submitted by: Small town, Big Dreams.
New BrunswickI’m a young mom of two children. I’m employed full time and working two jobs.
I began going to University when my child was only two years old. It was something I always wanted to do. I studied part-time so it was not too hard, and I had only one job at the time so I had spare time. Fast forward 8 years, and I finally graduated from University with the 3.0 GPA that I had prayed for. By this time I was extremely burnt out; I lost a close family member, I was working two full-time jobs, and switched my studies to full-time so I could finish sooner. I also had another child, planned a wedding, and got married, and my older child began to play sports and required weekend commitments. I was at my wit’s end, and something had to give.
I continued to study every single night during my final semester, sometimes until 3 am only to wake up at 6:30 am to get my child up to catch the bus and get myself to work. I started reading The Magic book and focusing on magnificent outcomes. I would visualize myself walking across the stage in the spring. I ordered my graduation photos and booked my gown for the ceremony. I also wrote affirmations in the present tense. I tried everything to help me pass my final exams, and maintain a 3.0 average. Although that’s not the greatest mark, I reminded myself of how much work I was doing outside of University, and that it was really all I needed to get into graduate school if I chose to in the future.
It all came down to one class. I was averaging a C- in it, and things were looking so bleak. One night I decided that I put in too much time and effort over the years! I had sacrificed too much sleep, amongst other things, so there was no other option for me other than passing my final exam and finishing this course 11 weeks ahead of schedule so I could graduate in May as I had planned. During my final exam, I was exhausted and I considered quitting halfway through and giving up altogether. Instead, I stopped midway through it and I cried, lol. Then I took a deep breath and continued writing, reminding myself that I was going to complete it, pass or fail.
The final question was worth the most, and without even looking at it, I felt it was the hardest. I opened the next question and it was the easiest question ever! I felt like the Universe gave me the hugest break. Only a few short hours after finishing, I found out that I not only passed the exam but it brought my entire grade up! I had reached my goal because of that last and final question that I almost gave up on without even being willing to look at it. I am glad I did. I finally earned my undergraduate degree! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I cried the happiest tears when I finally received confirmation that it was over, and I earned the degree that I had wanted for years! I have not yet decided what I will do next, but I am praying for guidance. I believe I can achieve anything I want to, and I know I am loving being supported by the entire Universe.
Thank you to my Husband. He is my rock, and I could not have done it without his supportive and loving partnership. Thank you to Rhonda Byrne, Jack Canfield, Bob Proctor, and all the great speakers featured in The Secret. I have used their resources from the movies, and the books, including The Magic, The Greatest Secret, The Power. Also their YouTube channels, the apps, and the podcasts. I use them all and I am so thankful for their life changing and easy to apply information for bringing me back into the moment when I feel off track. Thank you!
