Master of Science

Mom I love you, this would not have been possible without you.

With all honesty I put forward in pictures my two most cherished possessions, and I think they will stay the most cherished for the rest of my life.

That cap

The Degree

From here on whatever good happens to my life will in some way depend on these two. It feels like I am bragging too much but WTH I have bled for three years for these bragging rights. Not that I bought my Undergrad degree but it certainly feels a joke when compared to the Graduate School. The last three years have been a journey of transforming myself from being a no-ne to being a someone. When I was giving job interviews in college almost anybody could rip me apart with fundamentals only and that is when I promised myself Graduate school is going to be totally different. Three years later I can claim that every interview I have given has been a battle where I have fought like a Gladiator, I have lost quite a lot of them but with respect and dignity. I may not be the best thinker and problem solver but I have earned my degree to every grade I have got and not just walked through it. Apart from academic and technical knowledge MS has taught me a lot of life lessons as well which will stay with me forever even though I might forget propositional calculus. As an example I got an A which i totally did not deserve and I also got a B which again I totally did not deserve, in short life is not always fair but then it would not be fun enough if it was always fair.

I have not seen my family for the last three years, walked more than a mile in the middle of snow storms, lived on Maggi and Pizza for weeks, spent days without a single hour of sleep, spent a lot of my dad's money on the tuition, sacrificed all kinds of recreational interests but in the end it totally feels WORTH IT! I am totally blessed to have been able to achieve my degree.

Adios for now...
