Life on it’s own is full of adventure as it move in Times and seasons as well as in phases. When some of this times come especially those that put us in comfort position we do it with smile, laugh and enjoy the moment, when now otherwise, stretching us out our comfort Zone we begin to complain all around as it’s part of human nature.
So there came this point in my Academic journey where Challenges on my way, sleeping over night in classes full of mosquitoes, Position and place of sleeping all not comfortable just because I want to meet up with the demand ahead of me. at the course of all this I was not discouraged as I give in my best to see that a get to my target point.
But there came a time where every student in The entire school at 200level will stay back at the end of the session to observe what is called STUDENTS WORK EXPERIENCE PROGRAM (SWEP). By the end of the session we commenced The program I tell you, it wasn’t a State of merriment but we All had no option as it was compulsory for every student in the level to go through the experience.
We started by bringing rubble stones everyday we are coming for the program, it was wasn’t made known to us what The rubble stones will be used for. Never minding where we are getting the Stones from the instruction was that you dare not appear on the meeting ground without your rubble stone. We had to source for the rubble stone on our own and bring it to the meeting ground.
Some who had the means of transportation will take commercial motorcycle or theirs to easy them the stress while the remaining people who have no means of transportation have to take The rubble stone and trek to the meeting ground no matter your distance from the meeting ground to your place of stay.
People were not longer getting The rubble stone around them to bring so some devices a means where they come early before the arrival of the coordinator in charge of the program to take from the previous stones that we’ve submitted so they will be able to submit for the next meeting as there was no any means of security concerning that. At the long run the coordinator was able to discover that and said we will continue bringing the rubble stone as our punishment.
Finally, we ware told that all The stones we’ve gathered will be use to construct a carpark by us where people will park their cars as They come into the school. It was another labour on it own as we we’re grouped and apportioned a place to dig 300mm deep and it was during dry season, without enough working tools. it was so frustrating that someone fainted and was rushed to the hospital.
The entire experience cover about a month and everyone was anxious to see the end of it. Finally the experience was concluded by the end of the month. You can’t imagine the joy that fills the heart of the entire student. It was such an experience that we Learn how to team work and as well work under pressure at any point in time.
