Good friday !

A calm day indeed ! Just came back from the swimming pool; after chilling with a good friend in the steam house..
This post is about sending a shout out to all the people out there who have against all odds achieved their goals..especially the immigrants in Sweden where as a foreign one gets to deal with many foreign things..culture, language, religion, social cords e.t.c

My friend and I came to Sweden 8 years ago, got the residence permit after after 3 years of waiting. My friend just joined one of the best universities in sweden and started his degree in medicine..while on the other hand, i am now finalising my degree in International social work.we went through hardship in coming where we are now..In sweden, there is big prejudice surrounding immigrants and success..but as my friend always reminds me, one should focus on what he/she is doing..We both did that and thanks to GOD we can today say that we are living our dreams..
I know a muslim girl who struggled through prejudice to achieve her dreams..She was asked why she had scarf, they asked her if she was forced by men to wear them, she was asked if she was sweating even if it was winter..But this girl did her thing and finished her studies well and passed with flying colours..
The moral lesson from the above stories is; Haters are always there..difficult conditions are always there..its just about how you handle them..FOCUS!

If u are an immigrant and u are in a tussle with the natives; with all the respect for the natives..remember you have an edge over them; why? Because your psyche is naturally stronger..Unlike them, u dont cry when being called fat or ugly..you are strong !

PEACE GUYS !
