After struggling for many years to gain admission into a higher institution, I eventually found myself in the wrong department.

I still wonder what I was thinking that made me register for computer science, cos my brain is not computing at all... At the beginning of the second semester in Nd 1, I wanted to quit and start again in another department, but people close to me advised me not to do that; I should just stick with it and get my certificate.
I have always heard about students passing through school, right now I can be used as an example because I am not sure I gain any knowledge in this department I am, the lecturers made it worse by not coming to take their lectures and giving us more assignment instead of teaching and doing practical with us.
During the last semester in Nd 2, I offered a course called seminar... Throughout the 3 months for the semester, we never had a class for this course, and suddenly they brought up seminar presentation day, where we will all defend a project and talk about a topic regarding the seminar...
We were grouped and each group had 10 members, each member of the group was given a topic, and the day was fixed.
Unfortunately, it was during the time I was battling with sickness, I tried to prepare for the day, but whatever I read was not sticking, and I just had to stop reading and hope not to disgrace myself on that day....

On that fateful day, as we were told to be on corporate wears, I put on my trouser and shirt and shoe but my corporate was not coperating at all when I saw what the others wear, like 90% put on white shirt and black trouser and shoes and those who did not wear that put on something very cooperate, I just know the devil was out for me that day.
When my friends saw me, they were surprised I even dressed that way because they were expecting more from me, I did not know they take the day that serious, oh well I tried again to study for the presentation and it was during that time God sent me an angel to deliver me from trouble as usual.
In Nd1, I made a very good friend, his name was Daniel and he is a computer guru, infact during Nd1 first semester examination, he helped me in the exam hall for the courses I find difficult to understand, so we were very close but unfortunately he quit my school in second semester of Nd1 to further his studies in Unilag but he still come around once in a while to greet me and our third friend, our circle is really small.
We discussed prior before that day and he said he was going to show up to see us on the presentation day, when he saw me, he was like why did I put on this lol, and he also noticed my red eyes and weak body and he asked if he should represent me, It never occurred to me and what made it more easy was he was also putting on white and black like the rest, looks like God really plan this well for me.
I was scared at first, what if the lecturers catch him but the chance of that happening is very slim, what if one of the student announce that he is not part of us but the chance of that is also thin, first reason is that many didn't know he withdraw from our school, secondly most student mind their business... So I agreed for him to represent me and I didn't doubt he was going to represent me well, cos he was made for the computer science department.
When It was his time to present, my guy did more than expected that the lecturer ask for his number, I was already scared when I realized the lecturer was keeping him waiting for too long but I was far from there so I could not hear their discussion, I saw him brought out his phone and my fear increased but in the end, they both smiled and he left, and he was given a full mark!
No way I could have gotten that because when he was gisting me about the question that was asked by the lecturer, which he answered well more than the lecturer expected, I realized I have no slight idea about the question.
I just have to keep pushing myself till I get my certificate and leave the school, cos no way I would ever comprehend whatever they are teaching, especially with their method of teaching and their nonchalant attitude in grooming the student academically.
