In a few months ago, there was nothing like stress for me. Everything was going well and good with me and I was able to visit ny online earning platforms and even have time for fun and do other things. When I graduated from the University two years ago, I decided to spend one year in a movie academy. In the school, I studied acting for film as a course. Nornally, any Nigerian student who graduates from the University is expected to go for the National Youth Service but I had to pend that since I have other things I was doing.
Then in April, I took the bold step of registering and that was when I realized that I have begun to stress myself. My registration was not fast. It took me two days to complete my registration which was the fault of my school. When I registered, we went to camp after two weeks and the camp was so stressful. Imagine waking up very early as at 4:00 am and you would not have the time to rest till 10:00 pm at night. Isn't that stressful? A lot of people could not cope with the camp stress and they had to leave the camp but I was determined to stay till the last day.

On the last day of camp, we were being given our various letters of where we would work. I got accepted to the workplace after two weeks of going about. It was very stressful and I even wasted so much money for transport fare. Then, when I got fully accepted, I was given a free week to prepare myself for the job before I resume fully. When I resumed to work, I found teaching job more stressful than how other people see it because that is what I do.
It is so stressful that I no longer have the time to touch my phone. If I even get home, I will rather sleep than to touch my phone because I have stressed myself so much at work. This is why I'm no longer active on here and some other platforms. I have always disliked offlind job and this is becoming too stressful for me. Another stressful part is when we go for our community development services and mine falls in Monday. It takes so many hours before my inspector could sign for us. Mondays is usually one of the most stressful days in my life at the moment. I'm sure that people who have passed through this will be able to testify to what I'm saying.
How do I even get rid of this stress? Honestly, I don't know how I can do that. The service usually ends after a year and it always get me wondering if this is what I will do or if this is how I will manage my life for a whole year. Is there any alternative? I just feel the only thing I can do to help myself now is to adjust into my present lifestyle so I can be able to attend to other things in my life because I'm not planning to continue teaching after I'm done with my service. Today is Monday again and I'm going for my community development service. I hope you wish me well.
