( A post by Kathleen Pennell)
I attended one of the Physical Graduates Exit Conference at BSU where one of the students dressed up in this way to present their Physical Degree tutorials to the Information Council. The speakers were all angry at him and started raining a rain of sleep. He was crying when they said scary things about him.
Once they were finished, he started his story "Today I am defending my doctor's degree tutorial is a miracle no one else can do but God. Today is the most special day of my life, I know I should look my best. I really wore my best clothes. You're the son of a very rich man ahead. His parents died in a car accident at age 9 and grade 4 in primary. His late parents left him with 2 younger sisters. Biggest thing when they die when the youngest was 4 when they died, my parents inherited everything my parents had, he kicked us out of the house, nobody was there to run for the family, we survived it, I promise to the dead parents that I will do it My sisters were the best Should be educated.
I went to a community school in Ushongo where I worked in the evening at people's farms to feed my sisters and then worked on the construction ground to make sure they both went to federal government girls college and graduated. My sister sold fried potatoes and ice fish in Gboko and saw me through school at Uni Agric Makurdi. When I graduated I thought a job would change our lives. It didn't happen and my sisters forced me to go to http://M.Sc I finished my program at the University of Ilorin in 2017 and came here for scholarship and forcing my sisters to take their JAMB to enter the University. Yes, God is fighting for us and they all passed and included in BSU. The eldest is studying geography while her younger sister is studying law. Expenses are all on me. Most of my lecturers don't know me because I don't always be in class. Spending all my money on their school fees, food drinks, accommodation. They have sacrificed for me and I owe this education. Professors, professors please forgive me. I know designer suits in the modern market but this is how I'm going to have to come forward because if I do my sisters will have to leave this university.... "
Everyone was shocked and head down. A doctor couldn't bear her tears. She had to stop telling her his story and asked her sisters to stay at her home in a no-one residence town because she was staying in the staff house.
The man perfectly defended his tutorial and everyone in the hallway stood clapping for him and appreciated his strength, courage and ability to endure.
The stories behind so many appearances shock us. As this will make some of us cry, please promise right now and say "I will not judge anyone by his or her appearance because I don't know their story anymore." Reading things like this must make a difference in ourselves to help as much as we can, and make sacrifices for the people around us. It makes life worth life
