🗣 Yes! Another Graduation Post 🗣

Got my education, can’t forget from whence I came 👨🏾‍🎓🇸🇱

When I was 7 years old, I was separated from my biological mom... despite her efforts to protect me from the horrors of the civil war in Sierra Leone I still remember... but every time I think of home, I think of her. Every time I lack strength and the will to continue I think of her and how she went hungry most nights just to make sure I had enough to eat, how she sold her belongings to make sure I had clothes for primary school, how she hiked dozens of kilometers to see me off to America knowing she may never see me again... 

Very few people know my story and even fewer know the pain, sacrifices, and just oceans worth of tears it has taken for me to get to where I am today...to be able to video chat with my mother on WhatsApp and tell her, HER son Lamin, GRADUATED from an Ivy League institution! 

I know there are so many other people out there just like me, who do not speak of their journeys but work incredibly hard in silence...who do not show their pain but rather use it as a catalyst to love others more...to you all I say Keep going!!! You WILL find your way!! 

I'm 100% certain that I am zero percent sure of what I'm going to do next but I know my future is a microphone, a guitar, another degree, an unwritten sonata awaiting my creative, resilient, spirit to conduct a daring masterpiece...

Wait on it...

Pslam 16: "Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust."
