Yesterday night I was going through my Yahoo! email. I don't check it that often and there were like 300 emails. Most were from my Yahoo groups. As I was going through them, I noticed an email from the Doctoral Programme Office,
Warwick Business School asking me to fill up a form and send it back to them - "pro-forma - maintenance bursary & scholarships".
At first I thought it was a mistake. Then I suddenly recalled that I had received another email earlier which I had put down as spam. I quickly found and opened it. Was in shock for a while as I read and re-read the email.
I am pleased to inform you that you have been awarded a WBS
scholarship.
One of the reason I had thought that the email was spam was because I couldn't recognise the sender's name. I quickly went up to the bedroom and gently woke up my wife who was already in dreamland. It took a while for her to fully wake up, and I could see the "
it's too good to be true" + "
this better be true" look. She came down and re-read the email with me again. She confirmed me that
Kok Wai Harcourt was indeed the new Programme Manager for the doctoral programme.
It was like a black cloud had lifted. Our prayers have been answered.
I don't care what people say but for me, the
University of Warwick is the best University in the World.An amazing coincidence because earlier that evening I was talking with our friends
Nana and Mozard at their place in Birmingham, about how I was struggling to pay for the first year itself and how various people including my parents had chipped in. As well as our struggles in the past.
If you truly believe in something good, go ahead and put your trust in God! He will surely come through for you.
