Have you ever worked hard at something and been compensated for it? What did that feel like?

I worked hard to get into my university cause I had a lot of health problems the year I applied, and there was a risk I would just abandon my studies to focus on comfort and rest but I got into school and during my second attempt at a degree in my 20's, I felt like I was in heaven because I loved being in university so much.

I could not believe I was able to eat butter chicken and use computers at school, when people in Asia and Africa were starving and using chalk boards.

I have graduated and still feel very lucky, that I get to eat all 4 food groups in my diet each day, while poor people are nutritionally starved.

Also I think I am lucky I can leave the house to buy a cup of coffee any day of the week when people in Thailand and Vietnam are being sold into slavery and forced to work gruelling hours.

Your story of perseverance through health challenges to achieve your educational goals resonates deeply with me. I've guided individuals who faced similar hurdles, and it's incredibly rewarding to see them succeed against the odds. When I achieved my MBA, the feeling of accomplishment was profound, knowing the hard work paid off. It's heartening that you maintain gratitude for your privileges, being aware of global disparities. By acknowledging these differences, you gain perspective and appreciation for your own journey, which fuels compassion and the desire to make a positive impact with your education. Your success is well-deserved, and your outlook is inspiring.
