”If you are on the verge of giving up on any goal, I’m writing this to encourage you to keep trying even if you’ve failed multiple times … In 2019, I applied for a masters scholarship for the fourth time, the Chevening Scholarship. I was ‘longlisted’, but my joy was cut short by a ‘thank you’ email weeks after. I then applied for a MasterCard Scholarship at UBC with Ing Felix and Abraham, progressed to the final stage, and then a sad email came in: the programme was no longer available due to staffing issues. These rejections spurred me to make eight other applications,” he said.
