Answer 1
If I ever get a second chance at anything, I know exactly where I would place it. I would go straight back to those days when I was preparing for my WASSCE(West African Secondary School Certificate Examination), and this time I would fight with everything in me. I would read harder, stay focused, avoid the small distractions that looked harmless but stole my time, and push myself like someone who already sees the future waiting. Sometimes I look back and I imagine what it would feel like to open my results and find all the grades shining like a new day. That feeling alone would be enough to make me try again.
I would also use that second chance to learn computer programming early. Back then, I saw people talking about coding, Microsoft , spreadsheet, typing etc like it was something meant only for those who were extremely gifted. I didnβt know it was something I could start little by little and grow with. If I had the chance, I would sit in front of a computer and let my curiosity lead me. I would explore websites, apps, and simple programs, and maybe even start building things from scratch. Sometimes I imagine how far I would be now if I started then, how confident I would feel holding a skill that opens so many doors.
This second chance means more to me than just fixing a past mistake. It represents the version of me that was trying, hoping, but didnβt fully understand her own strength yet. If I could return to her, I would hold her hand and push her gently toward the future she deserves.

Answer 2
Honestly, I feel younger than my age, and itβs something that makes me smile whenever I think about it. My physique has always been on the petite side, and instead of making me insecure, it ended up giving me small advantages that still surprise me.
One moment that stands out for me was in 2021 when I registered for NECO(National Examination Council) after my WAEC results didnβt come out the way I wanted. I found myself in the middle of a new SS3 class, surrounded by students who were actually supposed to be my juniors no scratch that they were my juniors, but no one could tell unless they already knew my story. I blended in so well that sometimes even the teachers gave me the same energy they gave every other student. That helped me focus, sit in class without feeling out of place, and move through the school compound like I had always been part of them.
My petite body also opened doors I didnβt expect. When I joined event ushering agencies, I fitted naturally, and the coordinators usually assumed I was younger and more flexible. It made it easier to work long hours at events, walk around with ease, smile, pose, and even create friendly connections. Sometimes people would look at me and say, βYouβre so small and cute, how old are you really?β and it didnβt offend me, it made me laugh because I understood it was part of my charm.
Feeling younger than my age doesnβt take anything away from me. If anything, it keeps me lively, helps me blend in anywhere, and reminds me that beauty and advantage come in different shapes and sizes.
I can still go back to high school without being questioned, I can blend into a crowd of teenagers and not look odd etc, to me, that's a blessing.

Having to reflect and recall all the things you did or didn't do right can be really devastating or reassuring, it depends.
Not passing your exams earlier enough is still not cool too. But I'm pretty sure your result will still be great.Lol. Hope you smiled.
Concerning learning some certain programming on the net. I think you can still achieve that part of your dream, if you still can.
Your young self is beautiful and you still do, girl.
Have a beautiful day ahead.ππ€
Awwwn π₯°
Thank you
See how I'm blushing
I appreciate the compliment and advice
Both stories are so real and beautifully expressed. Itβs amazing how you can look back without bitterness, just wisdom. Not everyone has the courage to admit what they would redo, or the grace to see the blessings in things like a petite frame or a second attempt at exams. I love how youβre turning reflection into strength. Your journey is unique, and you carry it with so much honesty and light.
I just sighted your NAPHER-SD polo, good to know we are one.
Oh my
I'm delighted to know you're a NAPHERITE Ma
Means a lot to me
I also appreciate the encouragement
Thank you π
