FFF Diva Mo with her family, 2011
Dear Lolo Doring,
I can’t believe that it’s going to be five years since you
graced this earth. Whenever, I got stressed out I knew I could always calm down
with a simple chat with you. So here goes: You taught me that that “close
enough” wasn’t enough. In 2011, our pamilya watched me walk for my MBA degree,
but I was two classes short. I just wanted our family to see me finish, but I
never did. By the time I wanted to go back to school you passed away and it
crushed me. I justified it by saying “close enough, he at least saw me
graduate.” As each year passed I knew it would be harder to go back, but in
2017 life circumstances changed and I needed to go back & finish what I
started. It’s been 11 years since I started this original grad school journey,
but I’m proud to say I got readmitted back to school and god willing I finish
this December. Two classes unfortunately turned into more, but it is what it is
- gotta push through. I have lived the last several years in deep denial and
failure. I know I should be proud that I’m going back to finish - life after
all is a marathon not a sprint. Don’t worry, I know this now. This is why I’ve
been a hermit since January, like Elle Woods studying for her LSATs. I took a
step back from everything. School and my health are my top priorities and
luckily I see the light at the end of the tunnel. In fact I’m going to
Argentina as a culminating project of my studies - a global consulting trip
with a company based out of Buenos Aires. Please watch over me the next couple
of months. Know that I am finishing this degree not only for myself but for you
and my future kids as a reminder to never let close enough be enough. It took
Mom 10 years to finish her Masters Degree as a full time nurse and part time
student. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. 🍎
With all my love,
Moyeen
