Mark Omondi’s transformative journey began with a simple advert that caught his eye while scrolling through Facebook. Intrigued by the opportunity to pursue his American dream, he embarked on a path that would change his life forever.
Determined to make his dream a reality, he immediately began researching The KENYA Airlift Program’s requirements. He also looked into the universities he was interested in. Recognizing what this choice meant for him, he diligently prepared for the GMAT exam. He was fully aware that it would serve as a crucial step towards achieving his goal which he passed.
His story is one of perseverance, determination, and resilience. His journey to obtain a visa was not an easy one, but he refused to give up on his dream of studying abroad. Despite facing two denials and an administrative issue, he persisted. He kept trying until he finally obtained a visa. He is now studying at the University of Louisville through the program. Additionally, he says that giving up would have halted his dreams.
His story is particularly relevant in today’s fast-paced and often uncertain world. With so many challenges and obstacles to overcome, it can be easy to get discouraged and give up on our dreams. Furthermore, Mark’s experience highlights the importance of having a support system in place. Throughout his journey, he was fortunate to have the support of his family. Moreover, our program guided him throughout this rigorous process. Without their encouragement and assistance, he may not have been able to overcome the challenges he faced.
