The seeds we plant, the dreams we nurture, and the promises we keep, all come together at some point. I am grateful to everyone who has been there for me along this journey since over 2 years ago when I committed in my journal that I am going to work towards earning a Masters Degree from Stanford University. I am also grateful to all those who will listen to the call of the universe to have their generosity fund this degree. Truly, the river of blessings never runs dry in my imperfect life. May it overflow and help fill the rivers of blessings in the lives of others. When I leave Stanford in September 2020, it shall be written: Tumisang Ramarea, Management Science and Engineering, BS '19, MS '20.
Update: Thanks to the generosity of Stanford School of Engineering donors, it was possible for the Office of the Dean of Engineering to award me a Coterm Fellowship, which covers half the cost. For the rest of the cost, I expect to work with one of my favorite professors here at Stanford as a Teaching Assistant. The combination of these two, mean I will have full funding for my Masters Degree. I have been blessed in life and look forward to continuing this cycle of generosity. Grateful! I am one of the most blessed people I know.
Update: It ended up taking longer to graduate -- thanks in part to an unpredictable global COVID-19 Pandemic -- and instead of September 2020, I earned my Masters degree in June 2020. But when I graduated, it was written: Tumisang Ramarea, Management Science and Engineering, BS '19, MS '21.
