My Educational Expedition

During the days of school, I was encouraged to come in the management area because my brother was also studying that. I had been preparing myself to choose management in the +2level. And when the result of the SLC had published, one of the uncles (who is not Christian) advised me to read pharmacy subject which I never heard before.

Even I was already being prepared to join management faculty, I didn’t know, but suddenly I dropped that idea and decided to join pharmacy. At that time, I only knew the one governmental college, which is in my city Bharatpur. It was common that the entrance would be competitive because the college was governmental. But as of planned, I had not prepared to face an entrance exam of diploma in pharmacy. Then at last time, I started to prepare and had participated in the entrance. And in result time, when I went to college and saw the merit list, I didn’t find my name and I just returned. But before giving an entrance exam I had felt that I would be selected, but I didn’t know why I felt that? And later I understood that God was speaking to me. Therefore, again I went to college and check the name and symbol no. Then I found that there was a mistake in the spelling of my name but the symbol no. was correct. Then, I joined pharmacy (diploma level) and I have completed it with a good result as well.

And again after completion of diploma level, I told him in prayer” I want to read further, but I don’t want to move against your will” because I knew that without him whatever I did is worthless. That had been a very difficult moment for me to choose to walk on God's will or walk on own desire.

Again he helped me, he answered me and shown me his will. And I gave an entrance exam of B. Pharm in MOE (ministry of education) and also selected. There was a facility to choose a college after being selected and I was unaware about the best college and I just tick college name haphazardly, but I got a good one and amazingly, that college was the same one where I wished to be there while I was travelling in my previous college trip. That’s an amazing, blissful moment when I looked at college and remembered what I wished while I had seen that.

Currently, I am near to finish my bachelor degree and feel satisfaction with own performance as well. Throughout this educational experience, I am convinced and confident that God’s plan is important over every plan of ours. We might feel disappointed and depressed with what education things we are pursuing, but there is always beautiful treasure in each and every one those who remember him in all their way and they will never get the chance to regret themselves (Proverb 3:6).
