After my 5yrs in tertiary institution i realized that i was unable to go for service. The reason being that my school result was not complete though my course adviser had been of great influence in my life he supports me every time i have an issue in school whether missing test or practical score..and this makes walking up to him anything very easy...
On this beautiful Monday morning i was sitting in his office and were discussing why so many of us who there results are complete are not gone for service .Being that many of his students were in his office that Monday morning some person were are waiting for their names to be cleared for them to start up their school clearance..
In a light conversation i told him sir, "i have failed in school then how possible can it be for me to be successful after school " because it was painful that i was not living with my set in school and some of my friends were looking at me that am dumb since i didn't make it with them,and to make the matter worst i was a department President and there is this battle between us in class "i know better than you " and everyone has this air of authority that his better than the guy next to him. Though i know from day one that am not am A student and either am i B student..but through my primary and secondary days i was above average but now i didn't know why i have find myself in this situation,and making things worst i accepted to read this course because of pressure from home which was much and i had to take the admission i got in a way to escape from both house chores and harse words from my people..
Now after the run here I find myself in pain and confused on what to do next? "buried in my thought".... He said to me son, "life is not as you think". And there he narrated a life event to me about am old friend of his in university.
He told me,that he met old friend,who was his course mate during their days in university. That his class has written him off because his grade are nothing to write home about. Now 2 days ago he met this his old school friend in mkpor In anambra state looking cleaned up. His fragrance is great and he has convoy of 3 PRADO JEEP and this an evidence that life is treating him good he said to me but me he continued, though am happy at this very stage of my life but i can't measure myself with this my old friend. He paused to get my reaction.i frowned my face as i looked at him asking myself what is he trying to say? I became confused because this words were coming out from a man i want to be like an M.sc. and PhD holder. He told remember that am not in competition with anyone that life treat us different which is influence more by some environmental factor that is beyond our control. After that discussion,he concentrate and started grading the student performance marking the exam script front of him while i was left with my thought. It was a painful moment for me, the expectations from home and the set back...
It wasn't easy at all thinking about my life. But there i made up my mind,rather than piting, hating myself or be at the mercy of people i should act as If nothing happen i told myself if i cant control this now then how can i be able to control the bigger one that might come to me tomorrow may be as a CEO or MD."i may not know what life has in stock for me tomorrow,though we all pray for a better tomorrow but rather i wait for my life after school which may or may not go as planned, i better live my today to the fullest because that same tomorrow is a promise which may or may not go as planned.
What we do today matters a lot than the plans we have for tomorrow. And you better take every day that comes with both hands for that is a gift which we sure of 100%
Be inspired
