A Nigerian comedienne, Evangel Okafor aka Ecovangel, has taken to Instagram to celebrate her graduation as a nurse from a United States institution.
Ecovangel revealed that she failed two classes and had to refocus, stop her comedy skits and work hard to ensure she graduates.
She further revealed that she suffered bouts of depression and cried herself to sleep every night.
She wrote,
Yes I️ failed two classes! But I️ never gave up. I️ stopped comedy after I️ failed the first class, worked harder, focused more and still failed the second class, I had my graduation date pushed back by almost a year. I️ CRIED every night, went through period of depression and hopelessness thinking I️ have lost everything. Living in USA with just my YOUNGER siblings with no financial support from Parents or relatives, life was difficult for us, we could barely eat 3 times a day, had a lot of past due bills, spent paychecks before they arrived and some days studied in a empty stomach.

Seeing my Younger siblings 16yrs and 18yrs suffer, worked multiple jobs as a high schooler and college student to pay my school fees, rent and other bills was so DEPRESSING. I️ kept telling myself that the Lord that gave me ADMISSION will give me GRADUATION. The passion outweighed the obstacles, I️ kept pushing. It seemed Sooo IMPOSSIBLE, I️ never believed this day would come.
This degree wasn’t easy for me to acquire. God knows I️ will cherish my career and be the very BEST NURSE Ever, serve, Care, show love, so much compassion and inspire people. That Stethoscope on my neck and Smiles means the world to me right now.
Please DONT stop working for what you want, even when things are not making sense, God is still working. He has a way of putting all the puzzles together. Everything you want in life is Doable.
