Greetings everyone, I'm glad to participate in this hiveghana weekly prompt “Unforgettable Experiences”
People use to say that experience is the best teacher, there's Yoruba proverbs says “ You don't suffer, and you accept that you wise, who is the teacher that teach you" there's a lot of experience have had but the one I can't never forget is when I'm seeking for admission some years back.
There was a time I was seeking for admission to Obafemi Awolowo University badly and the funniest part is that I used passed all their screening but still they won't gave admission and all friend at my street, workplace have got admission to different schools of their choice, even people at my workplace use to advise me that maybe school is not my way of life.
But sometimes I think about it that maybe school is not the way, but there is one spirit in me that used to tell me that I should keep moving. Sometimes my friends that have gone to school when they call me they use to ask me what I'm doing now but I used to tell them that I'm okay and that they should not worry about me.
A year later I obtained Jamb like I use to do and I wrote that exam to God be the glory I passed the exam as I use to do, few month later I sat for the OAU post Jamb exam and I was meetup with the cutoff marks when the result came out and this day have been seen myself as OAU undergraduate and when the admission list come out my name is not on the admission list and I went to the school to log complain but one of friend that is in that school said there's nothing they can do about it that I should process for another school next year. I was feeling depressed but that same spirit still tells me that I should keep moving.
Years later I obtained another Jamb as I use to do and I wrote the exam and I passed but by this time I didn't process OAU again and I wrote the post Jamb of another school i picked, the exam was so hard than the exams that have been doing before, but to my surprise I pass the exam.
Few months later admission still came out and I saw my name on admission list. On that day, I was overjoyed because I don't believe that i can go to school for life, next day when I got to my workplace i called all those used to advise me that school is not my way of life that I'm not an undergraduate that they should give me my own respect lol, most them was so happy for me, that's one of experience i will never forget in my life.
Thanks for reading.
