I know, I know.
It's been a long time.
I've been writing all this while in my journal.
Today,
I'm gonna break the silence
by sharing some great news!
I woke up to an email from McGill Scholarship Department stating that
I received two awards:
1. The Rio Tinto - Richards Evans International Exchange Awards
Awarded to outstanding undergraduate students in the Faculty of Engineering’s engineering degree programs and in the Desautels Faculty of Management to support formal international education exchange, internship or other university-sanctioned educational travel opportunities as a way of broadening their experience and ability to work effectively in diverse cultures and enterprises.
Students selected should embody the leadership values of personal responsibility, integrity, accountability and mutual respect.
It is intended that collectively these awards are made in a way to reflect the diversity of the University student population.
2. The Dean's Honour List
for undergraduate students recognizes those who rank in the top 10% of the Faculty of Engineering, based on the combined GPA for all courses taken during the Fall and Winter terms. This is an official University recognition of your achievement and will be recorded on your academic transcript.
My reaction was:
They must have forwarded the email to a wrong person!!!
This could not be true!
Then I reread again the name and student ID,
it's me!!!
This is probably something I never expected happening to my life
because you all know how depressed and miserable my life was at University.
Alhamdulillah, all praises to Allah
for the two wonderful awards and
for giving me back the hope that I lost in me.
This is probably the highlight of my university life.
Thank you to my parents, grandparents, siblings, family, and friends
for the prayers and support.
ps, I will update my blog once I settled down.
I just got back from a 3-month Europe trip
and there's a lot of things to do right now.
Will catch up later!
