Denis Mitole faced numerous challenges including losing his mother to cancer during exam time.
"I must confess that I contemplated dropping out at this point due to the fact that the following year, when Covid-19 struck, the borders, were closed and doing cross-border entrepreneurship, which I used to finance my studies, became almost impossible."
Mitole said after 300 applications, he was eventually recruited by an in-house law school and did his articles at the medium-sized Melrose Arch law firm. However, the candidate attorney’s position did not pay much, and it did not offer the financial breakthrough he had anticipated. He said the hospital informed him that his blood pressure was high, and after spending the entire night on a bench in the emergency room waiting to be seen by a doctor, his left limbs had all but became paralysed.
"The book is about a young woman who was born without legs but had gone on to chase unimaginable dreams, including going sky-diving and deep-sea diving. She talks about finding the faith and courage to follow your dream, so I had no excuse. I had to get out of rehab and finish my dissertation."
