As long as it took, I got here still

All the times, efforts, support and resources

Every restless night, cold-busy-morning, sleepy day I spent.

Gave me motivations that led me here

Every struggle, cut, blister, sweat, tear, bleed, pressure I endured

Gave me strength I needed to be here

Every advice, wisdom, lesson, experience, memory, love, prayer offered

Summoned the courage that gat me here

Every penny, meal, drink, clothe, shelter spared

Kept me in the shape you see here

I am therefore proud of you for being there

As I am proud of me to be here

It is worth it; I know it is
