It was in 2022 when I was about to graduate from school as someone who is hustling just to stay alive and it was a season for students writing there final project work. I was popular when I was in school so it made it easier to go around and also get the trust of some of my course mates

So I felt I could write projects too for students and at least I will make some amount of money so as to continue to stay alive but little did I know that there are some technicality to project writing. I got a projects from students but there was one particular one that really stressed me and I almost not graduated because of this particular project.
It all happened that the project work was giving to me and I began the work. I finished the first chapter of the project which was returned to move ahead to the next chapter which is chapter two and as I continued to work on this project, I finished chapter three and I was told to draft out the questionnaire which I did. We went on to chapter where data analysis and interpretation of the questionnaire was needed to be done, there and there was where the whole challenge started from.
There was a reason for me to travel which took me about the whole week and I had to hand over the project to a friend of mine whom I suppose to be more knowledgeable than I am in project writing work which I informed him to help me complete the chapter four and when I get back I will finish it up. So he started the work but he never told me he had another project he was working on and at the end he mixed the projects up. I.e he mistakenly picked part of the project of another student (chapter four) and added it to the project (chapter four) I handed to him. When he sent it back to the person that owns the project to submit it to the supervisor, it was detected that what was in the questionnaire is not what was interpreted which sprung up different questions and it was later detected that the supervisee is not writing the project herself.
Then she was asked to start the project all over again but this time around, she will have to do it herself and a deadline was attached to it meanwhile she had paid me about 75% of what I charged her. So when I came back from my journey and was told the whole story, I was still contemplating on how to issue will be sorted out but to my surprise, she told me to make a refund of what she had paid me. The whole hell was unleashed and I declined. Truth be told, I had spent the money and moreover, why will I refund the money since a solution can be made available so we began to drag it back and forth. She threatened to inform the school authorities but I never felt threatened because I felt I was not the one at fault here. I want us to find a lasting solution to the situation at hand but this person does no want a solution but a refund.
She later informed some people which went behind my back to discuss with some lecturers and they agreed I will not graduate but it was just God that intervened in the matter and they suspended there action against me.
In the end, I did not refund the money, she did the project herself and till date we don't talk anymore but I went to her twice to apologize but she told me she was not ready to accept my apology but I GRADUATED even though I had to pray with the whole of my heart and God heard my prayer and answered by causing me to graduate. This is one of the projects I embarked upon that almost cost me and since that time, I never ventured into project writing anymore. I know my integrity was on the line but I was standing on a business principle.
THE END.
