Story Written by Solomon Aplas A mother of five from a remote part of Nipa in Southern Highlands Province of PNG thanked her son for making her a proud mum. "Hardwork has paid off well and may God be glorified for making his success possible. Its a pride for the family and the tribe we come from." "I use to pay his school fees through selling of greens, bush vines and kaukau. But for Alfred Wesa, it was a dream come true when he graduated with Masters in Business Administration (MBA) this year at the University of Papua New Guinea As they say, our lives are shaped by our thoughts'. If our minds are shaky, we can't reach that destiny and so young people should never give up despite of challenges along the way as these challenges and critisms give you strength to be a real man and woman. This is the story of Alfred Embra Wesa, Wesa is from Nipa in the Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea.
Growing up in a remote area wasn't a barrier to succes for Alfred Wesa. One thing that motivated him to study hard is the daily struggles of his people and the quest for education driven by determination and perseverance. God sees the interest we have for what we want to achieve or what we want to be. Wesa began his primary education in 1988 at Kar Primary and completed in 1995. From 1996 to 1999, he completed his high school at Ialibu Secondary School. "After getting my offer, I didn't want to go to teachers college because I have no interest in that field but my father insisted that I go and the advice he gave me was that, you can start little and build yourself up. As mother Theresa once said, be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” After 7 years of teaching, Wesa applied for Diploma in Accounting and got accepted. In 2017 Wesa completed his diploma program then applied for Masters Program on the same year and was fortunate enough to be accepted in 2018 and finally completed his MBA in 2019 and graduated this year, 2020. Witnessing the graduation in person and holding on to the bamboo was a great feeling for Alfred's mother. "Alfred has made me proud and I'm a happy mom. My hardework to look for every means and ways to pay for his fees has paid off. To be a successful person we must firstly have a goal in the future. And to reach that goal, one must have a Motivation and Determination to reach that goal. Perserverance is another driving force that strengthen our minds to overcome all the challenges as we reach towards our goal. read more related Inspiration stories on >> Study in PNG website Next :Coping With A Relationship Break Up Or Divorce Share your Inspirational Stories, Education Issues, Education Talk.
