โ€œThere were days I wanted to quit, but God carried me through.โ€

For Flonny Tambwali, the road to graduation was not an easy one.

While pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Language, Communication and Culture through Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) at MUST, Flonny was also caring for her child who has cerebral palsy.

Her days were often divided between caring for her child, hospital visits and her studies. 

There were nights when she had to study after taking care of her family, and moments when the pressure became too much.

โ€œThere were times I wanted to quit,โ€ she recalls. The good thing is that she kept going.

The flexibility of MUST ODeL gave her an opportunity to continue with her education while managing her responsibilities at home. 

Even on difficult days, she found a way to keep up with her studies.

Today, Flonny stands among fresh MUST graduates, holding a degree that represents far more than academic achievement.

It represents the hospital visits, sleepless nights, sacrifices, tears and countless moments when she chose to keep going.

Looking back, she gives credit to her faith and the opportunity provided by the ODeL.

โ€œThrough it all, God carried me,โ€ she says.

Her message to other women is simple, do not give up on your dreams.

โ€œYour responsibilities may slow you down, but they do not have to stop you. Keep going. Delay is not denial,โ€ she says.

From caring for her child in hospital corridors to walking across the graduation stage, Flonnyโ€™s journey is a powerful reminder that sometimes, success is not about having an easy journey.

It is about refusing to stop.

Flonny made it and her story is proof that no dream is too difficult to pursue.
