Greetings to you Ma' ,it is true that life never comes true that way we plan to be, mostly when we were young and also our academic pursuit, having dreams of our tomorrow but a times it don't work out and we can't blame anyone or even the nature.
I can remember when I was in secondary school,i had a lot of plans of what to study in my higher institution, but after secondary school,i didn't have money to further my education whereas my colleagues have done that,so it was a life set back,so i have to chose trade and learn.
So really, it's never too late to start it again.
I didn't see it as a disappointment but an encouragement.
Thank you ma' for this life touching story.
