When I first sat for my jamb and got a higher score, I was so happy because deep inside me i was tired of home . Whenever they get me angry at home, “ I will Soon leave this house you people will not see me again" i will say angrily, mom will always reply " who's hindering you From leaving even without gaining admission to the university you can leave, you will still be the one to run back home”. I will reply back " I will not , even for holidays, I will not be coming home” mum will only tell me to keep ranting.
After my first Post UTME exam and unfortunately i wasn't admitted to the university, i was furious, i cried all day because i will have to re-seat for another Jamb and stay home for an extra one year, uhhh so disheartening. My parents comforted me with words of affirmation and i was a bit encouraged. But my basic concern was for me to leave the house because I'm already tired of staying at home.
The best i could do to myself was to get a job, that will keep me busy and idle-free, which i go in the morning and return in the evening time. There was really nothing to think about, because i barely had time for myself and to rest except Sundays.
When it was time for me to seat for another jamb examination, this time i was asked to change institution, which i did, and my score was above the cut off point, i was so happy and excited, uhhh waiting for online screening, before the admission will be released. I was panicking already and i asked myself "what if the school did not offer me admission" though i was not that bothered because i already have a source of income and i don't get infuriated easily because i rarely stay at home.
The school released their first and second list and my name wasn't there, i wasn't sad because i was expecting anything from the school. My dad said to me " just be patient and put everything in prayers, is possible they bring out a third list" deep down my heart " I don't care , due to the fact that I have a source of making money" and one thing i fail to understand is that without education this days you will be render worthless.
After a long time waiting for third list and Jamb registration is coming to an end, i had intension to register again, after some few days my dad got a call that admission list has been released, uhhhh my heart banged so hard, i was scared to go check myself, so my dad have to go check the list at the cafe if i was admitted or not. I was at work, thinking about the outcome, immediately i got home that evening, the welcome i got from my parents that evening was a special one, i smiled and was surprised as well. My dad stood up and said " congratulations my daughter" he hug and shook me passionately, the smile on my face enh, but I was a bit sad because my source of income will soon stop then i will have to start depending on the money i will get from my parents. I told my family " you people will soon miss me" they replied "even you" . I was forming hard girl i told them " i will not miss them".
Registration for new students was alread on, i have to go quit my job, then start preparing for registration and resumption as well. When i got to the school the first time it wasn't difficult for me to locate my faculty because my cousin took me round the school on a stroll.
When i started my registration, opening of files submitting of school fees receipt, looking for my level coordinator getting a matriculation number, uhhh so stressful. After a long day i will discover my day was a wasted, and i will always say to my sister" I'm tired ohh" my cousin will only laugh and reply " don't worry is matter of time".
I spent a two weeks just for registration, by then i was tired of the environment and i was homesick. My sister will say to me " just two weeks you are already missing home, what will happen when the school resume fully" . Hmmmm i exclaimed. The day i managed and was done with my registration,i never care if it was late or not, i traveled home that day, despite the fact i was not having much money on me, I went home and my dad paid the bike man that took me home. I felt so relief when I sited my home from afar.
Home sweet home.
