I was told that there are three things\u00a0 that makes a\u00a0 mother proud\u00a0 for her son ; Good education, great job and a lovely wife. It almost doesn’t matter where you are and what you are in life , these three things MUST happen to make the 9months in her belly worth it. Mmh!! Maybe I am exaggerating, let’s say at least two has to happen. lol<\/p>\n

Usaine Bolt known as the fastest man in the world, breaking records upon records, getting fame on top of fame, endorsements left and right to make him well off to take care of his family, you would think that would be enough to close a book for life. Trust me, I would not even pick up a 140 character twitter feed to read. However , I have a change of thought after hearing a recent news that sat me down and got me thinking.<\/p>\n

Usaine Bolt, world record breaking Jamaican sprinter graduates with honorary degree of Doctor of Law by the University of the West Indies, Mona this past friday November 4th.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Huh, what?, wow, cool, awesome, congratulations. All these words running\u00a0 simultaneously in my head\u00a0 with my mothers voice “when are you going to get your masters?” , ” You can have all the money in this world but knowledge has more value and can take you further”, ” You want to play football but what happens if you break your leg and cant play anymore?” .\u00a0 Augh!! Enough, it is clear now, I must go back to school. I must further my education, not for her and not for you,not because the economy is bad,\u00a0 but for me. B.B King once said ” The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you.”<\/em>

Just as the World’s fastest runner achieved his education\u00a0 for himself and made a mother proudly call her son, Dr. The Honourable Ambassador Usain Bolt.<\/p>\n

Congratulations.<\/p>\n
