Hello there, it's so nice to have landed on Blurt after a lengthy flight. LOL... I decided to create my first piece, which will center on myself and my lifestyle.
Please be aware that I am not a big lover of social media and don't share much about myself on any of the sites I use. This article was originally posted on read.cash a few months back. some of what you'll read here might be experimental. If you don't understand, I apologize.
My names are Olalekan Isaiah, and socially known as "Botsrequired" are just a few of my nicknames. LOL.. Most of the time, I can be a freak.
I have always piqued my interest in technology and computer-related activities. Having gained considerable internet skills and enhanced my computer literacy by around 43% this year compared to prior years.
My abilities include a wide range of topics. Graphics design, web design, SEO optimization, digital marketing, Excel, Python, javascript, C++, HTML5, Cisco networking, and a few more skills as required.
I'm still in my early twenties, having turned 24 this year, and I've yet to have my first girlfriend for reasons I can't even explain; perhaps I haven't found a compelling reason to have one. That was just for fun though..
If I were to establish something in my life, I would prioritize privacy because I have always preferred solitude. I had spent nearly 35percent of my life lonely because I had always preferred isolation. It may appear odd, but I'm not sure why.
My first school experience was incredible while I was growing up. For five years in a row, I was consistently at the top of the class. Then, because my parents could afford it, I went to a private school. wait, I just said my parents? Oh, my God! I hadn't lived with my father since I was four months old, so I was raised by my mother until I was in my twenties. After my mother and father divorced, my father lived apart. It was absurd growing up not knowing or seeing my father until I paid him a visit in 2020, although we are in a different city, but That's another tale I'm not going to get into right now.
Fast forward a few years, and I'd finished elementary school and was ready to go on to high school. My first school was one of the best in town at the time, and it also offered a secondary level, which I had planned to attend after completing my primary schooling
Unfortunately, I was painting some of my favorite drawings when my mother informed me that I would not be continuing my secondary education at the same school where I had started since she could no longer pay the tuition. She convinced me to enroll in my town's community public school. I cried because I felt helpless as a child when I heard this since I had always acquired indifference in public schools because I knew the sort of atmosphere, people, and other variables I would be exposed to. It's as if I'm getting a new perspective on the world
To cut a long tale short, I enrolled in a public school where the environment and classmates significantly affected me. My grades and performance have deteriorated greatly, and I am no longer able to compete with the earlier version of myself intellectually. Each semester and session, it worsened. When I learnt I wouldn't be able to pass the West African test, I was already in my final year of secondary school. Then I started contemplating how I might minimize the dangers I'd be taking into the exam hall. I began studying diligently, but it was too late to make up for what I had lost in prior years. In the end, I was able to pass most of my courses with credits, which I didn't think were good enough but kept me from failing any of the subjects on the exam.
My mum doesn't need to tell me that she won't be able to pay a university once I graduate from high school because I already knew it before I took my exams. In preparation for the university entrance test, I worked in a factory whilst taking a few tutorials. It's been a really tough and pressure field for me. I was generally at the head of the class in my tutorial, topping everyone to the highest grade in every subject. I took JAMB for five years and cleared all of the cut-offs, but each year of admission, I either don't get in or am admitted but unable to pay the required fees.
After a series of fruitless attempts, I decided to apply for a part-time program, in which I am currently enrolled in. I've also kept myself busy with various online courses that have now helped me improve year after year. There's more to it than that.
I am now pursuing a part-time degree in Electrical Engineering at one of Nigeria's most prestigious Polytechnics.
In my next piece, I'll discuss some of the ideas or research I've done throughout the years. It's going to be a lot of fun. To get alerted, you might want to follow and leave a comment.😘
