I recently met a college student who has been enrolled in college for seven years. Finally, this year, she will be graduating with an engineering degree.
Why seven years?
Well, she had her reasons…
After she began college, she was called for military service in her home country. This resulted in a 2-1/2 year hiatus from her college studies. Later, she took another year off to take care of her father who was ill.
Here’s the point… She always returned. She did not quit on her dreams, her goals, her focus.
As a result, it was a done deal. Even with three and a half years of suspending her studies.
