Surfing the Storm: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Growth
Yemisi Shade Megbolugbe MBA(Strategy), BSc(Economics)
My journey to earning an MBA was a tumultuous sea of challenges, but through God’s Grace, I emerged stronger, wiser, and more resilient. The experience was a transformative odyssey of self-discovery, where I confronted my weaknesses and allowed God’s power to perfect and strengthen me.
As I navigated the stormy waters of personal struggles, financial constraints, and academic pressures, I found solace in God’s Word and the unwavering support of my dad and daughter. Philippians 4:13 became my anchor: “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Through this journey, I discovered the essence of past, current, and future grace, which turbocharged my faith and hope for the future. I learned to lean on God’s strength, adopt a growth mindset, and find joy in the midst of adversity.
My dad’s embodiment of God’s Grace was a beacon of hope, guiding and sustaining me throughout the journey. My daughter’s innocent joy and unwavering belief in me motivated me to persevere.
As I celebrate my victory, I am reminded that challenges are opportunities for growth, and with God on our side, we can achieve our dreams. Jeremiah 29:11 reassures us: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
My story is a testament to the power of resilience, faith, and perseverance. By embracing God’s Grace and support, we can navigate life’s toughest storms and emerge stronger, wiser, and more radiant.
