Hello great family, how was our day and how did today go with everyone? by God's grace am indeed hoping it went well.
Well, years back after I completed my senior secondary school, I didn't know I was supposed to write jamb neither did my parents.
Surprised, yes you have the right to be, my parents were not educated, they didn't know I was supposed to register for joint admission matriculation board (Jamb). So I started apply for admission, although I never applied for any school or university in Nigeria, yeah I did not.
I applied for some school and wrote their test plus others and yes I won't lie I got the admission, my first admission was to study medicine and surgery, in Saint George University, with a partial scholarship which means my school fee was been parted by four (4) and am to pay seventy five percent 75%, while the school pays the remaining twenty five percent 25%, unfortunately for me, my parents did not have the finance to pay my tuition fee. I ended up loosing the admission, I lost count but I was given a year and some months to still claim the opportunity, but na who get money dey grab opportunity. That was how I lost the admission, the second one was a university in Russia but my parents did get the money so I was unable to go. Prior to all thus happenings I was working, my first place of work was Queen Ruby Excellent Model Academy, the second was Saint Zita's International Academy, my third place of work was a sales girl in a kiddies store, then i got a job in a school again as an admin secretary. I worked there until my admission finally clicked, but i did not write jamb.
Now this was how it happened, I had became close to a pupils dad, who worked in a school affiliated to a school in Cameroon, and one day we where talking and he asked what I did like to study and I said medicine.
He openly asked, Nina do you mind starting from somewhere? I mean starting small? I was like if I get the chance I would, I have been at home and am not getting younger anymore. So he asked me, if had some documents and when u said yes he said OK. That was how he worked my admission out for me, We where given an opportunity to pay the school fee bit by bit, and that was how I studied nursing and became a nurse. Yes the little or silly mistakes that I made became my testimony today. When I was in my three hundred level, he openly told me that he had helped me got admission because his kids had told me, how kind I was, what I did for them in school. So am here to brag about the fact that
- God always comes through for his own, in his own way.
- it pays to be kind.
