Determined lady named Lucy Ikhesu Ewhubare who almost went into depression because of incessant rejections after applying for several scholarship has finally succeeded.

She shared the good news and encouraged people saying those big dreams and goals of yours can come through.

Sharing the news on LinkedIn platform, she wrote;

My Scholarship Journey… Those big dream and goals of yours can come true💯. So do not & never limit yourself to your current status or background especially those from low income family☺️.

When I left university in 2016, I told myself I would get my Masters degree on or before 2019 (but I didn’t get it). And these were what I wanted;

  1. To school aboard
  2. On scholarship (fully funded) I began the journey and I believed God would give me at his own time. I can’t forget in a hurry how this journey frustrated me. There were times when I felt depressed about the continuous rejections👇
