The happiest time of my life was that faithful day I was able to stand in front of all those prestigious lecturers to defend my project after four good years of suffering in school.
After applying to study English in the State College, I heard numerous nasty, unpleasant and bad things about the school. I was scared because even my Uncle who was working there warned me and my Mom about the school.
It was that bad. Bad in the sense that, the institution was populary known for suffering, bad luck and failure though there were still good students'who came out with good results.
My father never supported me when I decided to attend the state college instead of going back to write Jamb again or stay idle at home all day without doing anything. I had written Jamb for three times and the school I applied for didn't look my way.
Instead of wallowing in pity and going through the stress of Jamb procedures I decided to go over to the state college and luckily for me, my scores and cut of point was more than enough there.
I was happy and I did everything necessary and required of me. My dad never supported me, he wanted me to go to an institution which will give me a degree at once instead of doing NCE, HND, OND,or even ND and later applying for degree. Mom tried explaining things to him but he didn't listen rather he told us that if we still decide to go against his own order, I should be ready to pay all the bills alone with my mom that he won't give me a penny.
Yes it was that bad and truly truly my dad didn't support me or even my Mom with any money. That was the reason my uncle discouraged my mom and I cos he knew the school was all about money. So, I started school just by the grace of God with the help of my Mom and I finished last year.
Now, getting into the school I found out exactly what my uncle told me and everything people said about the school was confirmed by me especially the department I found myself in.
For those number of years the school started till my time I didn't see any set that graduated up to 10 people in my department. I was sad, I felt bad and I determined to scale through no matter what. It wasn't easy but I decided to sacrifice many things and do everything possible to graduate.
I did just that and when the long awaited day for defense came, I saw myself pulling through and coming out victorious. I had always imagined how that day will be, I prayed to God and in all my years there, I was able to pull through. It was the happiest day of my life, I didn't disappoint my Mom and most especially my Dad and the entire family.
