While Fummi while growing
up as a child, has never love reading books, doing assignment, even if she will make attempt of doing her assignments it will be in the morning before school. Another challenge her mother face is been lazy. "Fummi wake up and come out of that room, is already 6:30 am and you are still asleep". From the kitchen she said, fummi still lying down on the bed, " the moment i entered that room you will not like what I will do to you" the mother said angrily. Then fummi jump up from the bed and said " I'm coming already mummy" she move straight to the kitchen and washed the dirty dishes, then take her bath and went to school that morning. She's a student of flourish Academy no 4 Joseph street Asaba.
In her class fummi is one of the queit person in the class, she doesn't asked questions, even when she don't understand. She prefer to ask her class mates.
This fateful day after English class, the teacher decided to conduct a test to the students. Fummi was one of the highest in the class. While they were still in the class her friend Frida said to her teasing " this one you score highest in class today, ahh! today is a good day" Fummi stirring at Frida " so I'm dumb abii? Or is it because I find it very difficult to read my books at home?" She said angrily. " Ahnahn! I'm just joking, I don't mean to get you upset" then she laughed " is it this small thing i said that is getting you angry, okay I'm sorry" Frida apologised. Fummi just looked at her with a side eye "let's go is already closing hour" she said. Then they walked out of the class, with their school bag on their back.
It is already time for examination and fummi is lacking behind, because she finds it so hard to read. One night her mother decides to wake her up for night prep, fummi pretended to be reading, but the moment her mother went to the room, she began to sleep.
After the exams Fummi's result was very bad, she was promoted on trials due to her negligence over academy. Her mother said shouting at her " Fummi what is wrong with you you don't like reading your books the only time you read is when i manage to wake up at night, enhh! You need a wake up call, this result is very bad" Fummi's mother angrily dropped the result sheet on the bed and left.
Fummi has been on promotion on trials Althrough her secondary school. When she wrote jamb and was ready for post UTME , she did her post UTME exams and luckily her name was out on the first list to study English language in the university, she was so happy. When it was time for her to resume back to school Her mother advised " Fummi my daughter please i beg you don't be reluctant academically, i beg you, this is a higher institution, which at anytime you will carry over and you might easily spill, I'm begging you in the name of God read your books" Fummi replied "i will try my best mummy"
Fummi in the university, she never miss lectures, always do her assignments given in the class, but still have challenges of reading her books and hand out. Blessing her room mate will always wake her at night "Fummi wake up let's read" fummi will reply with a sleepy eye "i will read tomorrow early in morning before my exams " Which she will not . While the results are out fummi results were very poor " my results are not good at all, I'm disappointed in myself, my mother will be disappointed at me as well". Blessing said to her patting her back " you can still wake up by next semester just buckle up, the carryover and poor grades are wake up call for you" Fummi thanked her for encouraging and not reminding her how she don't like to read at night.
Second semester Fummi was very serious with studies to an extent she joined a tutorial class and she always read constantly without waiting for anyone to remind her. Her seriousness Althrough the semester was really a miracle, Blessing was amazed and happy about her new development. When it was time for exams Fummi read like never before, when the results were out fummi was so happy this time around because she was able to clear all her courses in good grades. Immediately she called her mother and passed the good news to her mother, her mothersaid to her happily "my daughter my good God will bless you for putting effort in your academy, i love you my daughter I am proud of you". Fummi was happy then she ran home to Blessing and inform her how good her results are, Blessing was very happy.
