You can’t tell a book from it’s cover, yeah I got to realize that just
recently. Three years ago, I was just frustrated that I couldn’t get admission
into the univrsity. Each time I try an exam such as Jamb, it has always been
one problem or the other, if not cancellation of my center, then It could be
that am not up to the cut-off point, or then I made it but behold….the
university exam. Yeah!!! This exam was to make sure that the students are
eligible to get into that institution and study somehow is also called
screening…oh in that screening test. The
test result could get me to a course
that I have never heard off. With all prayers and fasting and so many promises
to God. Eventually, I was flown to Ghana to study Business Administration.
To cut my story short, I have always dreamed of
going to university…then I thought I would be the end of the journey, but
lolzzz…..the journey has just begun.
I see the university to be a place to learn,
yeah!! But fun too…Ooooo kay…actually it was.. but things got tougher as I moved
on. At every point I see new things, knowleage, capacity and adventure…but the
surprising thing is how difficult it was to get what you want. WHAT DO I WANT? Knowleage,
confidence, network, innovation, power etc.
Outside the university are the young girls and
boys dressing in a stylish manner making life in the university look so simple.
But is not. That’s why I say “YOU CAN’T TELL A BOOK FROM IT’S COVER”. There could be both neat and worn
out pages in it. Just like the university, the fun side of it and the studious
side of it. They could contain the victories and defect in some courses,
happiness and saddness in the finacial aspect. And some could tell those who
are heroes and those that are not.
I am amused by my entire life in the
university, am about to graduate and hoping to be graduated. A seeker of
adventures and hoping to contibute in the real world. My greatest joy is my
experience during my interships at these two organizations “ANCHOR INSURANCE
COMPANY” and “ POWER CONTRACT LOGISTICS” both in Nigeria. And also
the ability to mix with other foreign student such as the Ghanians, cote d’
ivore, togolise students.
I will be honest I just love one leacturer who
indirectly has impacted so much knowleage in me. As my mentor he has taught me
to be perfect, current with up to date event s around me and my economy and to be
optimistic. I will say that so far* am sorry
if it hurt*, if students spend time around him just for two weeks I think
is enough for them to get the first degree and pursue for the second.
My world is my life and I spend so much time to
tell it’s stories therein. University/
undergraduate education/ frist degree is
just a mere certificate and a passing lane. But my knowleage , the
knowleage I get from it is what am PROUD
OF….
THANK YOU GOD FOR SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY TO
EXPLORE, thanks to all my friends who helped me on the way, thanks to my
parents, uncles and auties for their support finacially, spiritually and
acdamically.
And to some of us out there…..PLEASE BE FOCUS
in whatever you are doing.
GOD BLESS
