Hello everyone, welcome to another edition of the hive learners contest, as you know how it goes I will be responding to the second edition prompt for the week 57. So read on.馃榿
When you get advice from the right source it can take you very far in life. Sometimes two years ago, I got chatting with a member of the choir she was far older than me, she had just completed her Higher national diploma at yaba college of technology, after she had finished her programme she gave the testimony in church on one of our Sunday service, I saw the excitement in her eyes has she talked about finally finishing school, even after marriage and three kids. I had wished I was the one that day , as I didn't know how to start, and the cost that would be involved if I wanted to do so, so I just took my mind off it.
So one day I was home and I saw her message after saying her greeting and I returning the same to her, she started by asking me what I planned doing with my life going forward, I said I don't have anything planned for the year, that I just wanted to get things to improve my baking business that wasn't going well, after I had talked about what I thought was best for me, she went ahead to say this, " treasure I know there is no money and the country economy is bad, but you have to also plan for the future because any opportunity can come up at anytime, you see the reason why I went to school was that I kept getting opportunities but my certificate wasn't enough to get the job, so I decided to go back to finish my education and look immediately I finished I got a very big job offer that will pay me well, so try your best, talk to your hubby, you guys should plan on it, so you can get away from lack"
After she said this things to me, I thought hard about it, I tried my best to come up with savings, I really tried my best, to save enough to start schooling, cause I thought about the opportunities involved if I were to be a graduate, I would be able to help my family and also people around m, I acted on it, I started making preparations, and after I got some money I applied, at a point it was as if I wouldn't be able to continue the registration as there was other things to do, buy at the end of the day, I reached out for help and with God I got it and I was at peace.
I called her to tell her the good news of entering school and she was happy I followed her advice, she still gave me more tips on how the school was and how I shouldn't take my studies for granted, she also gave advice on how to dress as the school wasn't one to dress indecently to, well I am not one to dress anyhow I liked, so I still took to her words as I was always cautious of what I was wearing to school.
I was also happy to start school, and now I believe I have greater things ahead of me because I took a good advice and followed through it.
Thanks for reading
