In one of my weekend free time I was reading one of our
local daily newspapers and came across the advert of AIU to which I jokingly responded
with very little hope of getting what I had thought of in my lifetime the
MASTERS DEGREE.

Little did I know about the timeliness and motivating
response from Atlantic International University. In two days’ time there came a response from
academic department motivating me to pursue my master’s program. This was
followed by a phone call encouraging me not to waste my valuable time to shape
my future. That was the beginning of my career to upgrade myself to be one of
the reputable and influential leaders in my community and society at large.

It was amazing to note that when I thought all is lost due to
some unforeseen circumstances such as the flush floods and later the death of
my dear wife during my study period, which apparently had seriously
affected me and almost made me to give up my interest to do masters. Instead
this was time to be consoled by my personal Tutor when he and his colleagues
gave me the necessary support allowing me to overcome the challenges and go on
with my studies.

It is this spirit of understanding and willingness to help
in times of challenges that has made me to reach this far and claim my
graduation at master’s level. Where
there is a will, there is always a way. I now look forward to contributing
towards district and national development of my beloved country MALAWI the warm
heart of Africa.
