"Keep checking the portal everyday, the admission would be out" said the Agent.
I can't help but feel like this particular story was going to end like last years'.
The year earlier, the excuse was that my jamb score was low and it would be really difficult to get the admission. But they assured us that I would get it. The story ended in a disappointment.
This year I did my earnest best and raised my jamb score after the drama Jamb pulled this year.
When I think back, I actually feel that everything happened for my sake. The first jamb scores were cancelled because they had a system glitch that drastically decreased the scores. All the applicants were asked to resit again.
I was so happy when I saw that because the shame of getting 151/400 was huge. I wouldn't have recovered easily from it.
After the second sitting, the result came out high and very good. Now the next stage was to get admission. Which was the same stage I stopped last year. I couldn't get in because my Jamb score was low but this year I beat the cut off mark.
Keep checking the portal for the admission it would come out before the week runs out. A week turned to a month, a month turned to two and counting.
Meanwhile, in church I had already told my fellow ministers that I won't be available for their up coming program.
Few days to the program I was still in town which drove in many questions. I actually told them I won't be available because I didn't want to hold any important position for that day and later disappoint them if the admission worked out.
A day to the program I was still in town. I was getting a little worried. It felt like what happened last year was about repeating itself again. I was almost losing hope when I remembered the vision I had a month ago.
I woke up from sleep when I heard a voice as audible as clap, it said "I will put your name."
Even though the admission agent assured us of the admission, my faith was more solid on the fact that God told me that He would put my name. But, the billion dollar question was why was the admission stalling.
Other medical students had resumed, it seemed as if I was the only one.
Finally, it was the day of the program. People who didn't expect me to be in town, saw me in town. Though, I was disappointed but I finally saw that I was actually needed for that program because I played a very vital role.
But deep down I would have wished I wasn't around because the next day was Monday and I got an information that lecture would be kicking off that day.
Since I hadn't seen my admission update, I decided to check one more time after the church program and guess what?
The admission was out. I had been given admission. It seemed as if God just wanted to prove to me that I could still get the admission even after staying for the program. Initially, I thought if I stayed for the program, it would indirectly mean that I didn't get the admission.
God proved me wrong.
Due to the fact that I resumed school very late, the medical students hostel had been fully occupied so I was assigned to another hostel. Which occupied students from different faculties. I felt a little bad because I heard that the medical hostel was good and it was important to stay with your course mates.
I went to visit a medical student in their hostel and saw their room. I felt really grateful that I resumed late because my toilet was even bigger than their room (exaggerating a bit). 😂😂😂
You know the saying in the Bible that sounds a little bit cliche'
"ALL THINGS WORKETH TOGETHER FOR THE GOOD OF THOSE WHO LOVE HIM"
This isn't a cliche. I have lived it and it's true. No matter the up's and down, highs and low, God still had a way of turning it to my favour.
Thanks for stopping by💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

Excellent Saturday.
A nice little story. I'm glad you got that admission you deserved, even if it wasn't on your time frame. It seems some time frames work out for the better :-) The nitty gritty of your story would have benefited from a light edit to pick up issues with spellings, grammar, and punctuation. It was also slightly on the short side and could have done with a little more development.
Thanks
