CONTEST WHAT I LEARNT IN 2021

2021 was a year that taught me to be persistent in life

Persistence

I heard tough time last year, I had to endure,the time I discovered I was all alone in school as I student I was almost forced to drop out. I disliked the course I was doing from the beginning that made my result to shake, the worst part of the story was that I don't ask questions in the exam Hall, I believe I could do it but the courses u was writing wasn't favourable at all. When results came out I was curious to know my grades I work to the course advicer's office she was asking me so many questions because she told me I was in 2:2 upper , ahhh my joy was that I had no f, the challenge I had was that my assignment I taught I have summited was in my bag, when I descoverd it was still with me, it wasn't already late, I had to give it to another course rep of a different department which he finally told me he summited but when the result came out I descoverd I had no Continuous assessment. The annoying part of the story was that it was 4credit unit course I had it E . I couldn't believe myself, my course advicer told me to try harder next semester, the next semester it became worst because they were calculation courses, I didn't give up, I kept pushing . I had a friend joy whom I followed her pattern of studying until my result came out for another session last year 2021 in 2.1 upper I couldn't believe it but thank God I didn't give up. It really strengthened me that I knew that everything thinkable is achieveable.

Finance management

I learnt how to manage money last year, I go home every weekend from the University, I'm a Christian children teacher at home so it makes me go from school every weekend. I spend #300 going and #300 coming back and I will only be given #1,000 and food stuffs. When I get to school I will be left with #200 afternoon buying a bag of sachet water #200. I will have to manage #200 in a week both my offering , in the fellowship in school will be there. I was calculating every transaction I do. It really made me to be more calculative and responsible in my spending. I was accountable to myself.

Discipline

Despite the fact that I had little money, I still disciplined myself when my roommate will be changing clothes I diciplined myself that I turned down so many sexual offer to sleep and get money , I didn't give in to it. I had a married man who met me and made a lot of promises to me , I refused and sticked to purity. I heard my roommate made jest of me each time I want to eat that I eat the same meal always, they didn't understand what I was conquerring then, I always cook soup so that it will last for me before I go home. Not minding everything no body knew my background I covered my home and determined to succeed and change the situation.

I learnt to trust God last year the more, because of what I faced I determined to study very well and it has helped me very well this 2022 . I write exams freely this year, I decided to learn a skill this year because of the hard time I faced last year. I'm glad with BLURT I'm able to support myself this year now in school. Thanks for reading my post . Thanks I'm glad I'm part of this contest.
