Realizing My Own Capabilities: My Chemical Engineering Journey
Chemical engineering is quite challenging, brutal even π and the journey to get my degree was not an easy one . I really felt the heat during my second year, I was giving it all i got and still not getting the results I was aiming for. However, it was during the same year that I attended a lecture that really inspired me. I remember this one lecture, when Eng. Mudono praised Chidochashe Karen Siyavora for her determination, dedication, getting a first class degree and also being the best student he had ever met. As I listened to him praise her, i thought to myself wow - how did she do it, I mean finishing this program alone seemed like a huge hurdle, let alone getting a first class π . At that time it seemed impossible but I also knew that someone else had done it, which meant it was possible. Deep in thoughtπ, i said to myself i also want to get a first class. It was in that very moment that I decided to stop at nothing to get that first class(going through the different course materials repeatedly to understand the concepts, learning from my peers and seniors etc). I was determined to succeed and I continued to work diligently in my studies. In the end I did get my first class but I also walked away with an important lesson; "What one (even you) might deem impossible to you, IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY TO YOU! If someone has done something, it means that it's possible - it can be done, it is a possibility to you(YOU CAN BECOME), however what's standing between you and getting there is you. What are you willing to do to get to where you want to be? Are you doing all that you can to get to where you want to be? What is it that you want? How bad do you want it? Your responses will fuel you to the level of success you want to attain π―. I am here now - a fresh Chemical Engineering Graduate, ready to make my mark in the industry. Let's connect, explore ideas and help engineer a better worldππ together!
