I thought I had it figured out, a standby nanny, preschool and primary care provider for the kids, accommodation, an international driver’s license, a smart study plan etc.

I fought everyone that had any opinion not supporting my move to Baltimore with my 3 toddlers including my husband.

Integral plans i had made failed right from the customs clearance at the border. How do I complain and to who? I had fought everyone and it seemed like a challenge at this point.

Tearfully I pushed and settled in, no day passed by without struggles and questioning my decision. I was certainly not going to defer and had my mind set on graduating with my cohort, it’s too late to turn back now.

Some exams were written with baby strapped to the back and the others screaming lungs out in the background….. well their noise did sound like calm waters. I was confident that having studied relentlessly and with God on my side, little distraction from the trio won’t make me fail.

Days into weeks, weeks into months and here we are….

The start was hard and painful but the end was beautiful and glorious. Learnt some lessons though, HUMANS ARE ONE’S GREATEST ASSET and I’m not taking up such feats again…. well at least for now lol.
