Singer Desire Luzinda, who is currently in the US has come out to narrate how she dropped out of campus two times after she disclosed that she is currently pursuing a nursing course. The singer sat for her Phlebotomy exam last week at a yet to be identified institution.
In a long post, Luzinda explained that she dropped out of campus several times due to her singing career before adding that she is determined to finish her current course regardless of the challenges involved.
“This week as I was preparing for my Phlebotomy exam, many thoughts came to my mind. Many years ago, I enrolled at Makerere University pursuing a degree in Development Economics which I did not complete because my music career had kicked off in high gear. Having dropped off in year 2, at the back of my mind I knew some day I will bounce back and pursue further studies.” Luzinda wrote.
The Kitone queen further explained that she also enrolled at Nkozi university for Development Studies and dropped out over music shows that were already scheduled to go down in UK. Apparently, the dates collided with her first exam period, thus giving up on books.
“Years later, I enrolled at Nkozi University for Development Studies which I barely did for a year because I had a UK tour that my manager ‘then’ committed to and the dates collided with my first Exam period. I began to get tired of trying even when I knew the granite importance of Education.” She explained.
Luzinda revealed that many of her colleagues dropped out during this quarantine period but she refused to follow suit. The singer continued with online classes, and her resilience seems to be paying off little by little.
The singer stepped out rocking the medics attire, which is a step closer towards achieving her milestone.
“Fast forward, as I prepared to enroll ‘again’ little did I know God was preparing for me a career totally different. And while many classmates dropped off because of the virtual classes, I said to myself, “not the third time! I have to do this!” So I chose to push even when it was so tough . And here I am on a many years journey of a career very interesting.” Luzinda added.
The singer relocated to US with her teenage daughter who is also studying. Luzinda kept her books side a secret until recently when she couldn’t hide the excitement anymore.
