Gratitude

On this beautiful evening, after many nights of unrest and six full hours of mindless sleep, following the conclusion of my exams, I proceed on the journey back down memory lane to when it all started. A dream which began over ten years ago and which I have tenaciously held on to against the odds;my call to be a "Lawyer". To many this is a common thing, as evident in the use of the derogatory term of "charge and bail" but to my mind, young as it then was at the conception of my dream, it was the golden fleece. After many years of struggle, the end is in sight and the thrills of triumph and joys of accomplishment implode within me. The realisation that it took sheer grit and that a creature so frail as I, did it, humbles me and of course,enables me convey all the appreciation to God Almighty, who in His infinite goodness and love never abandoned me. So, Mr. I-want-it-now and Ms No-one-cares-for-me, realise that you owe yourself the responsibility to succeed because, the glory first goes to the Creator who made it possible and then to you, the Creation who actualised the dream against all odds. Forge ahead and keep being strong. Just like that Peak milk advertisement, "Its in you!"
