Lady rejoices after paying mum's flight fee

Despite facing numerous challenges, the lady identified as @ucyberry on X, remained focused on her goal, working hard as a classroom assistant to make ends meet.

It was her mother's faith and support that gave her the strength to persevere, even when the odds seemed insurmountable.

She admitted that her mother had played a huge role in her nursing school journey, paying her tuition fees and accompanying her on a trip across states to secure her place.

Years later, the woman was able to repay her mother's sacrifices in a profound way, covering the full cost of her flight to the US.

This moment was however, made bittersweet by the fact that her father, who had also supported her throughout her journey, had passed away.

Her emotional post ended with a heartfelt prayer, expressing her hope that all parents would live long enough to enjoy the fruits of their labour.

In her words:

"Today I paid for my mum’s flight from Nigeria to the United States in full. No installments. No payment plan. And I can’t stop thinking about how this journey started. In 2010, I earned ₦11,000 working as a classroom assistant and had almost lost hope of getting into nursing school. One Saturday evening, my mum said: “Pack your things. We’re going to the school tomorrow.”

"We travelled across states with no connection, no plan just faith. My department wanted 60 nursing students. They already had 59 accepted. We were told it was full until one last slot appeared. My mum paid my tuition even before my dad could send it. My parents always told me: “One day you will work in the United States.” Today, I’ve been a nurse for almost 11 years and working in the US for over a year. My dad is late now. But today, I paid for my mum’s ticket in full. I pray our parents live long enough to enjoy the fruits of their sacrifices."
