New York City And A Scholarship

Tertiary education and travelling, two things significantly close to my heart.
This year is my final year as an undergrad student at the University of the Western Cape (UWC). I have always wanted to continue in post-grad studies, however, finance was tight and my parents had not budgeted for further studies. But one day I received an email stating that due to my good grades I was chosen to apply for a scholarship. I applied, with only good thoughts circulating in my mind. I saw myself winning the scholarship and the benefits it included.
Low and behold, I was one of the 5 students chosen out of millions, who received the scholarship. It includes a trip to New York City. What makes this so thrilling is the fact that a few months prior to this, I kept on telling myself for no apparent reason, that I was going to travel the world!
I am looking forward to my post grad studies and my trip to the Big Apple. Who knows, I might go to Paris one day too 😉
May the JOY of The Secret be with you ALL!
