Greetings!
In the few years I've lived on earth, I've encountered people who have helped and uplifted me at various stages, for which I am forever grateful to God for making me meet such people. Among all of them, there's one whose impact on my life I can't stop acknowledging and appreciating.
I attended a polytechnic, which is divided into three sections: the first two years (ND), one year for Industrial Training, and the last two years (HND). With significant financial struggles, I managed to complete the first two years. At that point, I decided not to proceed to the next stage because my parents were not financially buoyant, and I couldn't find any paying jobs to save up for school. I was only doing menial jobs, making it completely impossible to save enough money for school.
Luckily for me, I applied for a vacant job position in my church and got employed, earning a little manageable pay. That was when things really changed for me. The boss I worked under was very accommodating, and we became very close. In fact, I became his personal assistant in everything. His newly married wife and he welcomed me into their home like a family member. He learned about my schooling situation and how I planned to pause and not proceed further until I raised a reasonable amount of money. He didn't like the idea and assured me that he would sponsor and support me in any capacity he could.
I was working and saving, and I didn't touch much of the money because I was living at my family house, where feeding wasn't a problem. Along the line, my school announced the registration for admission, which made me feel anxious because what I had saved was insignificant.
I hid the idea from him because I wasn't ready to return to school, but when my boss heard about it, he called me, advised me to use the money I had to go ahead and register, and not to worry about the school fees, accommodation, and other expenses once I was admitted.
I followed his advice, registered for admission, and after two months, the admission list was released, and I was accepted. It was a joyous moment, but my heart was also boiling with many thoughts on how I was going to manage everything since I had used my savings for the admission registration.
Guess what? My boss told me that I should go ahead and that I could work from school.
It was unbelievable to me because my work wasn't the type that could be done remotely; my tasks involved constant trips to the bank for transactions, documentation, and keeping records. Nevertheless, I followed his advice and went to school. That's how I was still earning a salary even while I was in school. He covered for me, doing all the tasks I usually handled. The only times I visited home were when he called for something critical, and it was usually on weekends.
His presence in my life at that particular stage significantly improved my situation because I knew I wouldn't have been able to further my education at that time. I would have wasted one or even two or three years if it hadn't been for his support.
Thanks for reading.

I also attended a polytechnic and I'm aware of how difficult it can be to go through national diploma and higher national diploma. The truth is Polytechnic students spend more on academics compared to university students due to different activities we are exposed to at different stages. Ciwes , IT, final year project for ND and HND
That man must really be an angel because it is rare to encounter such people with sincere desire to help others.
