Determination and Grit!
The world is full of stories of people who started with big dreams and ambitions, only to stumble along the way before they eventually prevailed in the end. One such story is that of a young girl named Lola, whose dream it was to become an engineer and make her mark on the world.
Lola grew up in poverty but she never let this hinder her passion for learning
about science and technology. She sold homemade breads door-to-door just to
afford school supplies, believing if she could learn enough then all her
struggles would pay off some day. And so each night after classes were over, Lola
returned home determinedly studying until late into the evening…
It wasn’t easy but she
stuck through it out of sheer determination!
Her hard work finally paid off when – despite several bumps along the road – Lola
managed to score well enough on University entrance exams that one university gave
her chance at attending their engineering program; something almost unheard of
since most admissions officers assumed students like Lola could not possibly be
smart enough due to their humble backgrounds.. But it was these obstacles which forced Lola deeper into self-study that made her excel
even further during tests! Indeed things had come quite far from where they
once began indeed—and so she earned herself spot as one of the few women engineers
enrolled at prestigious schools across country before long...from there, things
only continued succeeding upwards.
Despite endless hardships and challenges
that constantly threatened to put her down, she was never ready to give up on
what she dreamed of achieving. It seemed as if the more obstacles life threw in
her way, the harder it drove her towards reaching her goals.
When Lola graduate from high school at age 18, she knew exactly what path she
wanted to take—becoming an engineer designing robots! Her parents however were
not so keen on this idea since they didn’t think engineering would provide
enough stability for their daughter’s future. They instead wanted her to pursue
college courses related to medical sciences like nursing or pharmacy which
would lead to sure jobs in hospitals after completing degrees but
Lola was not willing to yield under pressure or compromise for something that
makes no sense career-wise nor satisfaction wise to her .
Lola refused all parental advice, got accepted into an engineering degree
program without any background knowledge about engineering other than basic
math and science classes taken during secondary school days, She even had less money to sponsor herself. However, her determination, hardwork, and believing in herself, helped Lola to make good grades each
semester exams while managing odd part-time sales girl jobs just by
narrowing balance
Another two year passed when finally good fortune smiled upon Lola, given that some kind soul invested heavily in building and Lola, being prepared for such opportunity; took advantage of the scholarship, and she was able to develop a robot model within 12 months. Today, I am proud and confident to publicly say ‘yes, I have a Born Engineer as my friend'
"Everyone has big dreams, but it so often seems that most of us give up when things do not go our way. This blog post is about a girl with big dreams who didn’t get everything right the first time around, but ultimately achieved her goal through hard work and determination."
Don't be deterred, keep pushing and you'll get it.
