Its a brand new week and I am bringing to us today an event that once occurred in my life that the inner man in me showed up and I was able to conquer the great test of time.

Couple of years ago I was done with secondary school and strived to go to one of the prominent university's in the North Central part of my country Nigeria which is University of Jos (U.J). Well, my plans didn't come to fufilment as I have wanted it to and I had to take to heart the wise words that says Half bread is better than none.
I got admission into Federal University of Lafia to study Bsc Biochemistry for a period of four years, I knew I was stepping into the wider world so I prepared my mind for the challenges ahead and got ready in heart for the journey ahead of me. As the fresher I was I have to gradually adapt to the new environment and understand what is ahead of me that I will go through to finish my study of Biochemistry in FULAFIA.
You know to be prepared for a challenge is one thing and to start facing the challenge is another, when I began to experience the loads and tasks accompanied with studying biochemistry I began to panic my success in studying this course. Another great factor that stood as a factor of fear in this journey was the kind of unfriendly lecturers we had in our department who are ready to fail students woofly without remorse or sympathy for students. I began to marvel at what is happening in my department and enquired about the past sets of students of Biochemistry in my school and howfar where they able to scale through. The feedback was another great shock and enough to put more fright in me because allot of students failed than pass. The pressure was so much but then I was already in the shoes and pulling it off will be a total mess. I gradually increase my time for study and improved my methods of reading.
Our H.O.D in the department understood what was going on because it is showing in students results how bad the students are failing and even worser than the past sets. The H.O.D advised us not to allow fear over power us but we can pass Biochemistry by first of all making the course our friend, he really spoke at length and it was a liberating message to us all. I picked the challenge and decided to hold the bull by the horn, presently I am almost rounding up my degree program without issues, thou I am not totally done yet but I believe it's going to be a smooth trip. I never knew I could get here despite the lots of challenges but I am glad I did and I am sure the rest of the one year is going to be a successful one.
