The Ambition and Determination of an Orphan

Beny Aterdit Bol is pursuing a Master of International Law at the Australian National University. He holds masters in governance, public policy, and development from the University of Queensland and a bachelor of arts degree in international relations, politics, and government from Griffith Universityall in Australia. His book, The Ambition and Determination of an Orphan: God in Firm Hope, narrates a story of childs struggle for a better future in a war-torn country. His recollection of the past mainly aims to give hope to those kids in similar circumstances. The book intends to advise young people in countries such as Australia and other developed countries to take advantage of available educational opportunities to maximise their potentials for the betterment of their future. I urge young people not to wait for things to happen automatically but to work for them, especially at early stages of life. Be a leader of yourself by thinking strategically and making right choices everyday and working very hard towards realisation of those choices. Set up your personal principles and stick to them.
