“Ten years, two kids, one pandemic, countless deadlines, and a whole lot of ‘Lord, please see me through this’ prayers.”
Those are some of the things that singer-actress Nikki Gil went through before she was finally able to get her much-awaited second diploma.
In a post on Instagram, the former Myx VJ shared that she began her journey of returning to the academia in 2016. During which, she told, she had no idea “how much LIFE would happen along the way.”
“I had days when I wondered if I would ever actually finish. But God is good! He knew every season, every delay, every prayer,” she furthered.
She also revealed that she finished her course with awards for Highest Distinction and Best Thesis.
“Grateful to my family, friends, classmates, professors and staff at SoFA Design Institute. And to my little unit: thank you to my dear husband [BJ Albert] who has always been supportive of my pursuit of this dream, and to my Finn and Maddie who grew up alongside this degree thank you for being part of the journey,” she expressed.
Meanwhile, having finished her second round of studies at 38, Nikki shared that her journey can be used as a “reminder” for people.
“Let this be your reminder that it’s never too late to pursue your dreams. Take it from Tita Nikki and her second degree before 40!” she said before concluding the post by giving glory to God.
