About Me
I would rather attempt a dream and fail than to live not knowing and to die never having tried.”
Jared Sasser
This is what was going through my mind in May 2018 as my wife and I and two of our daughters visited London and the England countryside. We fell in love with the history, architecture, culture, and beautiful accent. We visited the University of Oxford and even took a tour of the business school. I never imagined someone like myself being accepted to study at a school like Oxford, ranked as one of the best in the world. Yet, in the back of my mind, I wondered if it were possible.
After floating the crazy idea of applying to Oxford by my wife and counseling together how we would pay for it let alone manage it with heavy work and church responsibilities, I applied. I also applied at CEIBS in Shanghai, China, whose executive MBA program has been ranked in the top 5 in the world.
To my astonishment, I was accepted to both schools. I accepted Oxford’s offer to fulfill my dream and within two months of acceptance I flew to the UK to begin module #1. Everything happened so fast, and after 17 week-long modules over 24 months flying to the UK every 4-5 weeks and staying there for one week at a time, I completed my degree in 2020 in the midst of COVID-19.
