Elizabeth Victoria Samuela celebrated a remarkable achievement yesterday as she graduated with a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from the University of the South Pacific (USP) at the Vodafone Arena. For Ms. Samuela, this milestone represents not only personal success but also a testament to her perseverance as a mother of two.
Ms. Samuela dedicated this achievement to her late father, whose unwavering support and encouragement were vital in her journey. “His belief in me pushed me to keep going, even when the path was difficult,” she expressed emotionally during the ceremony.
Balancing family responsibilities, work commitments, and demanding academic requirements posed significant challenges for Ms. Samuela, who grew up in a large family. She expressed her gratitude to her family, especially her mother, for their love and encouragement throughout her MBA journey. “I couldn’t have done this without my family and the support of God,” she stated, highlighting the strength derived from her faith.
Reflecting on her experiences, Ms. Samuela shared, “No matter the challenges in life, the path to achieving your dreams is always worth taking. It’s not just about the destination, but the growth and lessons learned along the way.” She encouraged aspiring graduates to “follow your dreams and continue to excel,” illustrating her belief in the importance of determination and continuous personal growth.
This graduation celebration marks her achievement and serves as an inspiration for others facing similar challenges. Just as recent graduates like Maria Adimainatuvu have showcased resilience and the value of education while balancing motherhood, Ms. Samuela’s story adds to a growing narrative of perseverance among students.
Her success underscores a hopeful message: no obstacle is too great when driven by love and support, making dreams achievable for those willing to strive for them.
