A year ago, I moved from my comfort zone, dared taking the challenge to pursue master in the UK. It wasn’t an easy one to decide, honestly. So I arrived here with a lot of quizzical thoughts in mind. I only kept the faith that if He let things happen to me, He would help me through them. And thank God I’m surrounded by inspiring and encouraging people (especially my dad, mom and boyfriend) who are just naturally positive. Their support simply made me have no single hesitation to take that big step.

Now, a year has passed by (very fast!), and all those quizzical thoughts have faded away. I enjoyed the journey to the fullest. Sometimes, things were easy, and yet sometimes they were difficult. But after all, I’m here, I’m still alive, I’m even happier than ever, I’m stronger than before, I survive, I’m valued by many kinds of experiences. This one year time of learning has taught me so many things beyond my imagination. I can’t be more thankful for the opportunity, especially to Him, the Almighty.

Exactly yesterday, I wrapped this master study and was blessed for the new title, M.Sc. I’m genuinely happy with the result. I know that I deserved that mark, not more nor less. I did work hard for this but I humbly acknowledge that it’s all by His grace that I could get it. So, thank God for helping me with anything. He never fails me, not even once. Sometimes, the journey was tough. It was not the way I wanted it to be, many times. But I’m lucky enough to realise that in the end I always get what I need. Thank you, Lord : ) We’ll see what life will offer next. Get ready with the new adventure! haha.

Anyway, I remember one message in a Sunday service I attended “We don’t need our life to be all-sorted, we just need to be committed to the journey!” I hope that quote inspires and strengthens anyone who reads this post.

p.s. my sister also accomplished her bachelor degree at the same time as I got my master. Congratulations to her!
