Hello friends, how are you today? If I am fortunate to fast forward, I will do that during difficult times. A time when someone is facing a difficult situation is a time you rather do not want or you want the time to be fast forward.
The day I got admission to university was a very good day for me. My parents and I celebrated at home before matriculation. Admission to a higher institution was my main target when I was in secondary school.
After I completed secondary school, it was very easy for me to get admission to university. In the first year, I was very happy, and serious in my department.
When the first semester results came out, I was among the best students, and my CGP was very high but not the best. I was trying to get better in the second semester, and I promised myself that I would be the best student in my department which was Plants Science and Biotechnology.
After the second semester, I did not become the best student but I was still among the best students of a class of 49 students. My older brother was also in the same university as me, we slept in the same room.
He always told me, “You can be the best you want to be”. My parents and brothers gave me all the support they could to make sure I achieved my aim.
Toward the middle of first semester in 200L, the Head of Department (HOD) called me and gave me a letter from the school. When I opened the letter, the letter went thus, “Dear Christopher, the authority advised you to leave the school premises because your admission was fake.”
I looked up and down, I forgot that I was in the Head of Department office. It was a surprise for me because I don't know how I left his office.
Thank GOD my friends were with me, after the whole thing; i had that i fainted and they took me to hospital.
I had this trauma for a month; I was just imagining how it happened. I felt that such a day could not have come to pass in my life. I wish the day could have been fast-forwarded because I was demoralized, traumatized and sick.
Despite the advice from my parents and friends, I was not myself. I was embarrassed, sad, ashamed, and felt emotional discomfort all over my body. Fear gripped me and I was like a dumped bag for a month.
I was taken away from that state to another friendly environment. I was really affected to the extent that I could not go for lessons until the examination was about 2 weeks to start.
After 3 months, I passed UTME and got admitted to the same university, where I was given a lucrative course to study.

I passed through that hell, and I knew what it looks like when someone is going through a hard time. Many things were going on in my mind like, why me? What have I done? Why do I deserve such a thing? And many more. I was thinking both positive and negative ways.
Today, I realized that every human being passes through hard times, whether you are rich or poor: you must pass through hard times.
But it was a hard time I never wanted in my life because I couldn't control myself nor was I able to curb it. I looked so paralyzed and speechless.
I do pass through hard times but never want such because it hurts me to the bone. For all those periods, I did not answer calls from my friends in the school whenever they called me. I felt that I should be with them and study together, and do things together just like when I was in school: and I don't want to see them so that I would not remember the incident again.
There are two conditions that I felt like the day should not exist or should be fast forwarded - the death of my father and my letter of rustication.
Thank you all.
