I had all the requirements to
graduate with honors. I had the required Grade Point Average,
I finished all course work within the time frame and I was never
been on probation. However, I had U grade for a non credit subject
twice. When I checked with the university registrar, he said I am
not getting honors as I have 2 U's in my transcript. It was another
regulation which was not shown in some of my transcripts. I did not
know about that until I was in my junior year. I was really
disappointed. I gave up on honors as our university is very strict
about the rules and regulations. I always asked my mom to pray to
Sai Baba to ask help for my education. So I thought if Sai Baba
loves my mom, I will get it. I was not a very good devotee, so from
my side I didn't think I will get it.
The day before I was about to leave the university, my aunt said
why don't you go and talk with your Dean about the problem you have.
I went to meet my dean and she asked me to talk with the IT Dean as
I had U for his course. So I went to meet him and he was not there.
I thought it was a useless trip but I had little bit of hope at the
same time. I remembered my sister saying, gayantri mantra is very
powerful so I started singing it in my heart. I prayed that the Dean
I had to meet will be a nice person. I was asking Sai Baba to be the
Dean though I thought it was little silly for me to ask such things
that is very unlikely to happen. For my surprise he was extremely
nice. He attended to my work immediately. He called all the places.
When he was calling, I was singing Gayntri Mantra again in my heart.
He finally said I think we can change your grades. This is a very
special case. We usually do not change any grades. He said he will
change 2 U's Unsatisfactory to W- Withdraw. He was telling it was
partly their fault that the transcripts the university gave were old
and some of the bulletins were not changed as the rules changed they
will help me.
I looked at my transcript online today. And it was changed to W. I
am graduating with
honors thanks to Sai Baba. Thank you Sai Baba for making me
believe in miracles, prayers and all the beautiful things in the
world.
I am expecting to receive a medal and hoping to give it to Sai Baba.
Because I know that I wouldn't have got it without him. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
