In the world of men you would always need men, either to get there or to be close, though hard work is needed, help sometimes is the missing piece to success
Help is not some kind of weakness but rather a momentum to leap and be there
Help goes a long way, especially whenever it comes at the right time, you tend to be grateful for it
Do people ever reject help?
Well have seen cases of people rejecting help when they needed it just to show they are strong enough to cater for themselves or to show that in whatever situation they get to, they will always get through and sometimes it's always because they do not like who or how the help is coming
Some do not want to be indebted so yes they reject help
Being helpless can be so challenging and trapped in a world of despair, it's always as if one is lost in a maze without a way out
Sometimes we find ourselves in helpless situations and we just tend to be frustrated over little things, we lose motivation to move further
But being helpless is never permanent
Ever felt helpless before?
I got caught up in a scenario where help could come from nowhere ohh maybe a miracle would have turned the story
It was a screening exam I went to write,the required mark for what I chose was 55%
Prepared well,thinking getting that would be easy or even getting beyond
After the exam, we had to wait for a week before the results were posted
Trust me, that waiting process was as if I had been tormented. The week did not help that every year because it became very slow to running out or maybe my anticipation made me see it that way
I was waiting, anticipating, and looking forward to my result
Think the only thing that got me hyped up for that week was the anticipation of my result
Finally, the week ran out and the result came out. I rushed out to check but the traffic on the site wouldn't let me see mine
Had no choice but to wait.So I waited till midnight while the traffic and at least 50% of people like me who also wanted to check their results were asleep
I checked my result and to my greatest surprise, I had a 54% percent score
I felt so cold and devastated
Right at that moment I knew I was helpless because I knew no Lecturer or Vc that could add me one mark to get to my cut-off mark
I needed just one mark else I forfeit this admission
My mum and dad can't help here because they also know no one I'm just a boy who came with his brain to write his exams believing he would pass
Who do I even go and meet to help add one mark?
So many candidates are also available,so people like me would not even be considered we just make it easy to give those qualified admission
I was helpless, in a world of despair and had no one to help me because even a beg here would not help
It's the school policy if you do not meet the cut-off mark no admission
It took a bad turn on me because I lost motivation and was reluctant to try again but with time I got healed and eventually put in more effort,I got over it
That was one time I would never want to be entangled in situations like that ever again
Sometimes we feel helpless and yeah time heals and with time we get over situations like that
