Thank you for sharing. I am a recent first generation grad with a passion to democratise knowledge for Africans who cannot afford it. The increasing population of youth in Africa requires a proactive preparation ahead of the future we want, which is the goal of the the continental organisation, the African Union. I conducted my undergraduate long essay on the topic; The Challenges Affecting the African Union 2002 -- 2022 and it exposed me to the need for more specialised knowledge rather than generalised knowledge with old curriculum. I am an author of two books.
Hello Angela ! I am a French law student who fell into a depression by the end of high school and it lasted a few years so my experience in college was as messy as it gets (I basically stayed enrolled but would not go to classes or exams so I'm 6 years late). I was top of my class before that but had no extracurriculars, I just took all the classes available in my high school. I also started my post high school education at a top humanities program with an acceptance rate of less than 3% but dropped out very quickly - I know, not great. I am doing better now, got excellent grades this year and I would like to work in consulting in the US - this goal really motivates me because it feels like my personality, interests and the way I approach things wrapped up in a high paying job and an opportunity to transmute the parts of me that could be seen as negative somewhere else into a space where they are actually looked for and cherished. How can I get there as quickly as possible and make up for the years I spent crying in the dark, if it's even possible ? Thank you !
Thanks for the candid question!! Three things: 1. Make sure you are working to heal your own wounds. This likely would involve therapy or some kind of coaching, meditation, inner work. Healing is a lifelong journey and trying to get too far ahead of that process will backfire. 2. Seek ways to be of service to others based on what you have learned through your own experiences - even the painful ones. 3. Then get yourself into a job after school where you can build a scrappy action-based track record. As someone who struggled with the meaninglessness of the education system, I personally found work to be MUCH more fulfilling than college studies. Work hard, get promotions, find your purpose through work. Then in a few years, those achievements have the chance of overshadowing the lost years. Wishing you the best of luck! Keep in touch!!
Sure. We've seen folks take a variety of types of familial leave - taking care of sick loved ones, ailing parents, kids. These are important life choices that schools respect. Important thing is to show how an MBA fits into your future and clarify your story both including and outside of the family choices.

Do you see any women with a big career gap who took time from their high paid jobs to focus on raising their families?
Sure. We've seen folks take a variety of types of familial leave - taking care of sick loved ones, ailing parents, kids. These are important life choices that schools respect.
