Lady Who Delayed Her Master’s Application Because Her Mum Needed Her Attention, Get Blessings, Starts PHD In The US

A lady named Chibuzor Mirian Azubuike has shared how she delayed her master’s application because she needed to be there for her mum until she passed on. Chibuzor’s mum later blessed her tremendously.

She later bagged her master’s in Nigeria and got a scholarship for her PhD in the US.

She went further to share a motivational post saying: “Understand your stage in life so you will not be frustrated by others who are doing better”.

Sharing her amazing testimony on LinkedIn, she wrote:

Remember that our processes are different and so is our destination. I recall someone telling me after my Bachelor’s degree. “Chibuzor you made a 2:1, and with your community service from your NYSC story, you can apply for scholarships abroad for your masters.”

It was a good advice, but I knew it was not yet time for me to leave just like that. I am the first child and my family needed me. I am glad I was not in a hurry, because I took care of my mother before she went to be with the lord. And she blessed me, oh in her final moments she spoke to me alone. She kept praying for me!
If I had left earlier, I may not have the privilege of receiving her final blessing.

So when I started my masters in Nigeria, I gave it my all. In the words of my supervisor, “You have to be so good that you can compete with your colleagues in the best universities in the world. “

I clung to those words and applied for competitive fellowships and I won several that I travelled on fully funded trips. In 2021, I started my PhD in the US on scholarship. At the right time!

The point here, is understand your stage in life so you will not be frustrated by others who are doing better.
There is time for everything.
