I would like to talk about something that really made me happy and altered my life in a good way. After high school, I stayed for two years without going for further studies because my parents were not able to do so financially down and I was told to stay for about two years before I resumed my studies. It was so discouraging. All my friends had gone to school and I was left alone in the village. I tried applying different places but I could not be considered. About two years later, it was on the evening while I was cooking my food. I received a letter that had been sent through my neighbor. I opened the letter and I was so fascinated. The letter was an admission letter to a college of my dream. I was so happy and I started packing and preparing myself for that great event. So to answer your question, being admitted in a university was one of the things that really, really altered my life.
