Hi, I am a qualified Computer Science Engineer and since my graduation back in 2012, I have been associated with a reputed bank. I love my job but I always craved to get back to Computer Science or a related field. However, I was scared to move out or I was so comfortable in my job that I did not really try my level best. Also being in an unrelated field for so long I felt that this would drive me away from good companies.

One day my friend’s wife who was not working in a job that was related to her graduation degree got chosen for a Master’s degree program at a university in the UK. I was thrilled to hear this news as I felt that it was a positive sign for me.

I made up my mind and visited my college for a recommendation letter. I was a bit hesitant as I was not sure whether they would even recognize me. To my utter surprise, they welcomed me like their own son. That was just the beginning of a roller coaster ride. I got the required documents ready and sent in my application to various universities. But then I started getting rejections, one after the other. The deadline to apply was getting close and all I was getting were further rejections. I was disheartened and had almost given up. But whenever I sat by myself, I would browse through the news about German universities. I dreamed about me being a student in Germany. I would feel like I was walking in the university’s courtyard and being with my fellow classmates. I had The Secret Super App installed on my phone and every day I would type in what I was grateful for,  regardless of how moody I felt. However, nothing happened.

Just when I almost lost faith, today at 2 pm I got an inbox notification on my phone. From the notification, I saw it was an email from some university. I expected a rejection but deep down I wanted a strong yes. As I opened the email, I could not believe the content. One of the universities that had rejected me back in December has reconsidered their decision and they decided to offer me admission. And here comes the best part. I never requested them to reconsider me but some miracle happened and I got the admission.

I don’t know what to do now. I have so little time and so much to do. I want to thank the almighty. I don’t understand your ways my lord, but I believe in you. And thank you for never ever giving up on me. I love you. Thank you to Rhonda for teaching me to never give up. I do not know to what extent I was able to follow you and your methods but today I am a believer. Now I want to plan ahead and grab on to this chance that God has given me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
