Mummy Eliz is thrilled, after a long grueling 8 years, with a 4 years break taken in between to start a family, she finally qualified for a 1st class Honor Degree in Business Computing and Information Technology from the University of Wales, UK.
She initially wanted to opt for just an ordinary degree, but was encouraged to take up the final project module, as only a pass is needed to quality with a 1st class Honor Degree Graduation.
Throughout the whole duration of the project, she felt like giving up so many a times.
Here’s an short extract from her acknowledgements page in her final report:
"Thinking back of the last two terms of my degree program, I never thought that I would be able to accomplish this project. I felt like life was trying to stop me from completing this project by dealing me a couple of life’s wild cards [namely a first-term miscarriage, and a mother diagnosed with chronic leukemia and dementia] to deal with.
Certainly, this report could not have been written without Dr. Teo who not only served as my supervisor but also encouraged and challenged me throughout my academic program. He patiently guided me through the process, never accepting less than my best efforts. I thank him.
My partner in life, my dear husband also assisted me in completing this project. I would like to express my gratitude to him for being my “walking programming books”, and also to my two little children who kept me company while I went through every library looking for my books and waiting patiently while I get my work done.
Without these supportive people and more, I will certainly not be able to deliver this project."
