Young Nathan Kuman's incredible journey tells a tale of resiliency and success in achieving his goal in life. Nathan, who was born in the city of Lae in Morobe province on the 17th of October 1997, started his educational journey at a Catholic-run preschool before moving on to Tabubil International School in the Western province. Nathan took comfort in the small-town charm of Tabubil, where everyone knew one another, in the company of his three older sisters, Jasmine, Doney, and Jochebed. Nathan was brought up in a household that valued discipline, and his childhood was shaped by the standards, pillars, and objectives that his parents established. The unshakable commitment to education, summed up in the straightforward, yet deep maxim "Everyone must go to university," was at the core of the Kuman family's philosophy. Nathan's upbringing was based on this guiding philosophy, which was reinforced by the pillars of put God first, get a good education, a good job, and a good life. He was raised with the values of listening, learning, and taking on responsibility from a young age. These lessons were implanted via family discussions that became known as "Education Talks." Nathan may be mischievous, but after finishing grade 7, he was transferred to Port Moresby for more education, which was a turning point in his journey. Although Nathan found it difficult to adjust to life in the 5 Mile slums, his fortitude and tenacity never wavered. Nathan overcame the challenges of grades 8 through 12 with the help of his aunt, Mary Guma, who later served as his mentor. Nathan finally found success at Mt. Diamond Adventist Secondary School in Central province. Nathan's journey to a university was not without difficulties, though. Even though he graduated from Mt. Diamond, he was not accepted into the University of his Choice, which was a disappointment. Unfazed, Nathan's father made sure he signed up for the Foundation for Distance Education (FODE) program, opening the door for him to attend Divine Word University and earn a bachelor's degree in communication arts (Journalism). Nathan's trajectory took a wild turn in 2020 when he was ordered to serve a two-year university suspension due to personal issues. Nathan's resolve was put to the test as he experienced disappointment and uncertainty. Still, he embarked on a journey for self-awareness, inspired by his family's unwavering faith, particularly that of his elder sister, Jasmine. In December 2020, Nathan was involved in a catastrophic accident that left him with two damaged legs, adding tragedy to his already painful journey. Nathan was at his lowest point during his recuperation in the village, thinking about his schooling while he struggled with pain and uncertainty. Nathan was able to survive because of his family's constant support, especially that of his sister Jasmine. Encouraged and mentored, he persevered through hardship to return to his studies, displaying unrelenting determination. With a Bachelor of Communication Arts (Journalism) degree in March 2024, Nathan accomplished the family dream and gave his siblings hope. When young Nathan looks back on his adventure, he recognizes the important lessons he has learnt. His journey, which spans from the lowest points of despair to the highest points of triumph, is a monument to the strength of resiliency, love from family, and unflinching resolve. With a newfound sense of purpose and gratitude for his family's steadfast support, Nathan is now starting a new chapter in his life and is prepared to inspire others with his tale of overcoming hardship.
