Tromson was never the sporty type. Given the choice between exercising or watching TV, he would always choose the latter.
In his CCA, he only switched to volleyball in Primary 5, and he had never been part of the school team.
But one day in January this year, Mama received a WhatsApp message from his coach. The coach said he wanted Tromson to join the school team and asked for our permission to train him twice a week and even in the mornings before school.
We were quite surprised, but we agreed — thinking it would simply be a good chance for him to exercise, without any big expectations.
That decision turned out to change his life.
Even though he only sat on the bench during NSG, he was still officially part of the QIFA volleyball team. And because of that, he became eligible for DSA.
Long story short, Tromson was selected for trials and interviews at three schools, all well-known for their volleyball programs. This week, the results came in: he got one “waiting list” and “confirmed” offers.
Even though his dream school only put him on the waiting list, there is still hope.
Mama reminded him that all of this is purely by God’s grace. If he gets into the school he really wants, it will be nothing short of a miracle — because we have no control over the outcome.
What I want Tromson to always remember is this: everything he has achieved so far is not just his own effort, but truly by the grace of God.
