Financial issues became worst when I was 4th year (I'm on a 5-year course by the way). So I worked as call center agent during the entire 4th year and 5th year 1st sem but without quitting my studies as a full time student because I wanted to stay as a scholar. During those days, I barely slept but with determination, dedication, desire and faith in Him, I was able to stay in the Dean's List.
With God's help, I graduated with honors and passed the board exam. Now, I'm both a full time dad and full time employed. I admit that I still struggling but I know that I can do it.
I am sharing this to all Istoryans not to brag my achievements but to encourage some of our countrymen to strive the hardest and learn a few lessons from our experiences. I know that you can do it also!
