My last few months in school!!!!

I have spent 25 of the 29 years of my existence on this planet in schooling. At the end of this long arduous journey, I finished up with a PhD in electrical engineering on 22 Dec 2007. The last few months were a struggle with my future hanging on a thin thread. I had spent the last summer working on half pay (20 hrs per week) for nearly the entire summer except the first month (May). I got married on 16 Sep 2008 and now had the added responsibility of caring for another person who left a thriving career back home just to be with me. Every day and night was spent in trying to culminate a 5 year effort into something fruitful and useful. I have my beautiful wife to thank for the dozen or so 150 page thesis copies she had to read and correct. I was not planning on graduating till the may of 2008 because I had no future till the 21 October 2008. I got this call from one Mrs Jennifer Goodman saying her company offered me a job. My world changed after that day. I knew I had a life and a future. I knew my hard work had paid off. My fears of managing a family changed to joy and a sense of pride at my accomplishment. I could see myself dealing with difficult situations with a new found confidence.

I am so happy I did not give in when the going got tough.
