On 20 July 2006, I came to Singapore for the first time. On the same day, I went for the scholarship interview. My church friend, whose daughter lives in Singapore, accompanies me for the interview. Before the interview, she prayed for me. I still remember that after the interview, I thought I wouldn't be able to get the scholarship. I was so sure that there were many people who performed much better than me for the interview. ~~Let His will be done, just give thanks in any situation.
Few days later, when I was waiting for musical fountain show (now: Songs of The Sea) in Sentosa Island, a person from NTU called me. He said, “Maria, congratulations! You get the Scholarship.” I was speechless and very happy. Soon, the musical fountain show started. I almost cried when enjoying the show. I never imagined that I would get the Scholarship, and the musical fountain was like a “celebration” for me =)
During my study in NTU, I struggle for the academic lessons. There are many assignmest, reading materials, and stuff from my CCA that need to be done during a limited time period. However, during this hectic life, I got a chance to attend a scholarship presentation ceremony last week. I met some people who interviewed me there. They were very friendly =) To me, the last week ceremony was more than just a mere ceremony. God reminds me on how He guides my way, e.g in academic life. From secondary school, high school, and university, I have faced lots of choices and often made a difficult decision. Sometimes, I did not get what I wanted. I know God has His own way for me, so that His name will be glorified.
Thank you, Lord :)
