You’ll all agree with me that going to school is worth the time and every single penny, but the where the problem lies is when you didn’t put an effort into it then it becomes a waste of time and money. Going to a private school wasn’t all that rosy even if it looked like it was, there were so many challenges along t he way but I knew what I wanted and what I was there for.
I had it at the back of my mind that, I needed to make myself and family proud, especially the person that was paying thousands of naira’s (my dad).
Efforts matters in everything we set our mind to do in this life, there was somedays I felt like giving up, there were somedays that everything didn’t go as planned, some other times I lost focus but I just had to keep going, on the days that I felt worse were those days I even try to put more effort.
I kept striving hard, praying and putting in my all, I remember in when I was in my third year, Oh God it was as if everything came crashing in my face, on some days I didn’t have money to eat or buy some handouts immediately but that didn’t stop me from attending classes, or doing assignments.
When I got to my final year, my dad passed I literally said to myself that I was tired and I didn’t want to continue again, I said it’s probably better I look for some business to do or learn some handwork, But something kept pushing to push harder, and I said to my self again, I’ve come this far nothing should stop me from achieving this. My project supervisor stressed my life, she was sending me back and forth but I didn’t send, I just wanted to graduate with good results, so I prayed for strength, and put more efforts again, yes today I’m proud graduate.
And for the time my effort did just the results was when I learnt fashion and design, I did it for more than a year, I was trying my best, i put alot of effort and time but although I knew the basics, I could literally cut a fabric and sew it but I wasn’t really up to the standard that I wanted to be, I had to stop halfway because my health issue.
Even though i didn’t stop half way willingly, I felt like the time and effort I had put in learning the work didn’t really yield the kind of result I wanted.
I’d probably get back to it later, because I didn’t actually plan on making money from it, I just wanted to learn it for my personal use, so when I’m perfectly fit to start matching a sew manchine again, I will definitely go back it and by that time I will make sure my efforts and time would be worth it.
In both experience, learned that we shouldn’t give up, its okay to cry and its okay to rest but how you get up to manage the situation matters alot.
