In the journey of life, if you're not informed, there are high chances of been deformed.
This is just one of the memorable experience I had. Its was after this experience I knew that whatever you want to achieve either in life or in a particular period in time you can speak about it, remind yourself about it for inspiration boast, then deliver action to make it a thing come to past.
Do not for any reason use your mouth to discourage yourself because someone else faced such situation then it must happen to you. Truly if you ain't properly informed on something vital on the journey of life, we get the improper orientation and find ourselves being deformed.
It all happen when I was admitted into a tertiary institution, I was young and naive. Coming from a family where academic advice wasn't that deep in relation to the day to day systems of the university, I didn't have any sibling or close relations in my school that I could really meet for better orientation. I didn't even have better devices as my fellow colleagues in the department, I was just a less average student.
So I would basically say, it was just me and God.
Later on as the semesters past by gradually I made friends with some amount of persons, especially the ones that was my direct seniors in the department was that way I saw them as a gate way for information that might ease my journey as I elevated up in levels.
Less I forgot, during my first course registration they made it easy for me, instead of passing through some unnecessary procedures, since they have done such before. The lectures room, the workshop and data room, all they showed me. I was happy actually because things became a bit easy to flow with.pick IMG_20250717_120510_664.jpg
I mingle with these group of people more than even my fellow colleagues in my level, as freshmen, I sideline them because I thought following the steps of my seniors was the best forgetting that before taking such action I would have asked or make inquiries of their performance in school, and that distance I kept from my colleagues was another disadvantage I created for myself.
I never knew this fellows I call my seniors were all pass grade students abd they have given up on their studies for improvement but chose not to enlighten me on how to quickly and smartly start engaging myself for a better academic excellence.
At first it all started with them telling me, that its very difficult to graduate with a Distinction (first class honors), secondly they started listing harsh and unapproachable lecturers making me feel afraid of them.
These words from their tongues reshaped my ideology and hence it started affecting me and to make matters worse it was somehow too late to mingle back with my own mates in the department but of course I learnt my mistakes and I forced myself to be close to my own mates that was when I knew I really didn't have proper orientation.
It was kind of late though but I managed to scale through my second year in the university but that silly mistake really deform me.
Proper questions needs to be ask and orientation from rightful persons also, and finally never neglect your very mates because you think they might not have that level of information.
If possible mix their informations together and pick the best one to your taste.
Thanks for stopping by.
