The many successful men and women out there went through different processes which served as a stepping stone to the next phase of their journey and with so much strive and determination they got to where they are today, nothis is what I keep telling myself daily and it has kept me going. Yes Adaptation is a process. It involves a series of actions , adjustments, and transformations that helps individuals, organizations or systems adjust to changing circumstances, environments, or conditions.
So basically I am the first and only daughter of my parents (Ada). Growing up as the first child and only girl child after years of patiently waiting for the fruit of the womb is sweet, trust me when I say it is sweet it is .There are several privileges that comes with it, such as pampering, monetary benefits and lots more. I was a girl that got whatever she wanted and anyhow I wanted it except if it's bad, wrong and not even useful at all. My parents pampered me so much that I couldn't do anything for myself aside from eating, sleeping and reading . Academically I was sound and okay but when it comes to chores mehnnn don't count me in. Anything that made me uncomfortable was changed immediately, I had changed up to three schools during my primary school days not because I wasn't coping or it wasn't okay but because I didn't like them and they wanted the best, same applies to secondary school . I traveled on vacations monthly due to my dad's work situation as at then
Normally he was always posted to different states. Things changed when daddy fell ill which caused his retirement and he had to come back home. I had to adjust the way I spent it but it hit me really hard. It wasn't easy to begin to adjust to having to explain in detail what you wanted or needed to use funds for before you were given. We were actually still doing well and coping until mum retired as well and that's where the real deal started .
Fortunately I got admission into the university and I knew I had to adjust and adapt to the new situation I found myself in .
My year one wasn't as smooth as it would have been if both parents were still working and dad was healthy but I scaled through. Leaving alone taught me that I was becoming a woman and as such I had to become one by learning how to cook, wake up early, hustle for my own money cause I needed to take care of my parents as well even if it's not right away . Successfully an hardworking student in the university of uyo .
Twala I scaled through, I adapted to it, I accepted what it is and I found the treasure in my problems and am here now .
My adaptation process include:
Awareness: I recognized the need for a change
Assessment : I evaluated the impact of the change
Adjustment:made initial changes to respond to the change .
Iteration:Refining changes based on feedback and learning
Integration:Incorporating changes into existing systems or processes.
Reinforcement and Evaluation.
Trust me whatever situation you find yourself you have all it takes to adapt and adjust to become better .
