After Loosing His Dad & Source Of Income, While Studying, Man Finally Succeeds As He Eventually Graduated, Says “He Thought This Day Would Never Come”

A man named Stephen Wray, who encountered setback while studying in school has shared his story.

During the period of his schooling, he lost his dad and also his source of income, it was hard to pay his school fees, but he eventually got a scholarship, and today he graduated despite all the challenges.

He thought this day will never come.

Sharing the exciting news in his LinkedIn platform, he wrote:

Over the weekend I officially became an alumni of the illustrious North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University 🔵🟡.

It’s 5 am, the time I usually get off work to have a shower and head to campus for my morning classes. If I am being honest, there has been many of nights I thought this day would never come. I came here with a passion and a love for what I do.

My journey was not as straight forward as most. I have had several things in life that tried to take the day away from me but I persevered.

I lost my father who was the reason I got into construction in the first place but I persevered. The pandemic hit and shut down the projects I was working on and I lost my means of paying for my education, but with the grace of God and hard work I was able to get scholarships and I persevered.

So when I tell you I have earned my seat at the table I EARNED it.

Thank you to all the people who helped me along this journey because I surely could not have made this walk alone. Thank you to my friends and family who kept me motivated, to all the scholarships I received, internships, classmates for sending me notes when when I was simply too exhausted to make it to class that morning after work. Now I can smile and say there is in fact beauty in the struggle.

I know you didn’t get to see it but I know you are looking down. I did it dad.

Congratulations to the class of 2021!
