Learning has no end. The more you feel you have attained the more you need to learn more. Challenges don't kill rather purifies one towards better fulfillment of destiny. When i saw the theme for this first edition, i was happy to be amongst the participants. As humans, all of us have been to one or many more difficult situation where we had to learn in a harder way even though at the end it all paid off. For the purpose of this entry, I would like to share few things that o found very difficult before i achieved them.
I want to first and foremost share the critical experience i had when I was in school. During my final year exams it was wonderful and i passed with grades which qualifies me to prepare for project work. Initially i was thinking it was something i could just blow within few months but to my greatest surprise it spawned through years. Those of us from the science background had to carryout certain experiments before you finally do defense.
I was able to procure all the necessary chemicals required for the experiment boom the challenges started manifesting. Some of the equipment weren't available in the department hence i had to go extra miles elsewhere to get them. I had no idea on how to use some of them but thank God for my friends that was always there to help out. I almost gave up but he persuaded me even his own bench work challenges was more than my own because he was running three different departments which was time consuming as well as demanding. We continued to struggle for almost a year and half to get done with the practical and sent our results for analysis in a scientific laboratory. After a while the results came out.
The hardest thing was amongst all the results only one was very difficult for me. I tried all o could but couldn't make any headway. The more i tried the more i got more confused. Do you know it took plenty months for me to get that results interpreted?Same friend that God used during the practical was the same that helped me with the interpretation of that result even though himself couldn't do it but rather refered me to Abuja to see another consultant. I looked for transportation fare and boarded a vehicle on my way, the guy called and requested that I meet him in keffi not Abuja again...wow that was subsidy for me..when i got there, he started explaining and i was nodding my head as if it was truly entering. After one hour, i gathered all the examples he did to serve as a guide to me. Before i left, my understanding was enlightened and I grasp the whole concept. I was so happy at least my area of weakness was clarified.
Another hardest thing i would like to share here was when I was introduced to block chain. Initially my perspective was negative and don't believe that there would be a consistent platform like hive block chain. The first thing I had to get a good mentor who knocks off my prejudice and area of confusion to ensure that i have the information to sail through the platform. Thank God I made the right choice and today I am growing in the system and trusting God one day to own a community.
Most of the hard experiences i had in life i didn't give up but God was always there to guide my steps. I have learned to be patient and positive about things. Thanks for reading through.
