Trailer - Love Letters (A japa story) What We Made of Chaos
-
- Documentary
A year ago, I got two fully funded prestigious scholarships to study abroad (a MasterCard scholarship to study at the University of Edinburgh and an Erasmus Mundus scholarship to study in France, Germany, and Portugal) with a CGPA of 3.95, no IELTS and no scientific publications.
I’ve had people contact me to tell me they applied for the same scholarships. That they have first class, IELTS, and publications. I’ve also reviewed many applications seeking scholarships and heard stories of frustrations and people wanting to give up at a few trials.
I know we tell many success stories on social media, but only very few people tell their backstories. I love backstories because it helps me understand how people get to the point I admire.
I know you’ve got a lot of resources out there about the processes involved in getting scholarships. Maybe what you don’t have enough of is BACKSTORIES.
Backstories are what we must love because they tell us that beyond the very things we aspire for lies many trials, attempts, failures, and the desire not to give up. And that not everyone has life cut out for them in 1,2,3 steps.
So on this first anniversary of my scholarship pursuit, I made a production of a series of scholars I’ve found their stories genuinely inspiring. You will likely find one of these stories resonates with your experience, and I hope you will draw inspiration from it.
Love letters is a podcast series about scholarship rejections and attempts. Beyond scholarships, it tells a more foundational story of ambition, dreams, and the stuff of success. The first episode comes out in 6 days!
