So when I relocated to Poland, I set a goal to pass my exams and to obtain my degree at the end of my three-year course. I set this goal because I was also supposed to search for money to pay my fees so it was going to be a difficult task to achieve because going to work and mixing work and school is something which is very difficult to balance up. So I end up setting a goal for me to pass my exams in order for me to obtain my degree at the end of my three-year course. I managed to achieve this goal because I made sure that I would wake up in the evenings and allocate the whole afternoon to my school week so I was able to dedicate the whole day to my school week and wake in the evenings for me to be able to raise money for fees. And this was a very hard task and it was an uphill for me but I had to do it and sometimes I end up having some sleepless nights trying to balance the tool and none of this way I was not supposed to drop going to school because the two were supposed to work together for me to obtain my goal. So I felt I was so happy when I achieved this and I’m so proud of myself because a few people can do what I did and a few people can manage going to work while they stay at studying.

So when I relocated to Poland, I set a goal to pass my exams and obtain my degree at the end of my three-year course. I set this goal because I also needed to find money to pay my fees, so it was going to be a difficult task to achieve. Balancing work and school is something very challenging. I ended up setting a goal for myself to pass my exams in order to obtain my degree at the end of my three-year course. I managed to achieve this goal because I made sure to wake up in the evenings and allocate the whole afternoon to my schoolwork. This way, I was able to dedicate the entire day to my studies and work in the evenings to raise money for my fees. This was a very hard task and an uphill battle for me, but I had to do it. Sometimes, I had sleepless nights trying to balance the two, and I knew I couldn't drop out of school because both were essential for me to achieve my goal. I felt so happy when I achieved this, and I am very proud of myself because few people can do what I did. Not many can manage working while studying at the same time.
