If i could turn back the hands of time i would gladly do that, if i am opportuned to go back in time to ten years ago i would have make some amendments and change somethings in the journey of my life. Growing up as a young girl with small stature, i do get deceived with my stature and claimed being a small girl despite the fact that i know i'm advancing in age.
After my secondary school, i didn't put in for jamb immediately because i thought i am still young and after the secondary school stress i would love to give myself a year of relaxation. The next year, i put in for jamb and i came out with flying colours then my choice of institution didn't give me admission so i decided to stay at home till the following year. My parents asked me to change institution and go for another course but i declined saying i'm still young and another year wouldn't be a problem unknown to me that time waits for no one.
In the year 2017, i put in for another jamb but this time it wasn't as good as the previous it got me bothered and i decided not to settle for less, two years wasted already but i didn't see it as a big deal. I went for a handjob just to keep myself busy for the year, this time i began to think seeing some of my friends we graduated together doing well in their various institutions. I became worried and desperate i wanted to go to school by any means, i started reading ahead of the next jamb. My parents are the type that don't impose anything on their children, all they do is advice you and put the right path in front of you, it is left to you to follow their advice or not and you will be responsible for any decision you take afterward.
The following year, i decided to work more to earn more for my schooling and while doing all this time wasn't on my side. My education was delayed because i thought i was still young but when i will realise i was getting old year in year out jamb started to toil with my seriousness. After lots of effort to gain admission proof futile i decided to try once more in the year 2020 and eventually i gained admission and at that time, some of my mates are in their final year, while some are serving their father's land. Racing through school and its stress i took time to attend some of my mates owambe(wedding ceremony) and namings but i never look down on myself because it wasn't to late for me either.
If i could see the 10 year old me, i will advice her to take hold of any opportunities that comes her way and never to get deceived by her look, she should stay focus and make good use of her tender age to achieve great heights.
And if i could go back to ten years ago, i will take my education serious not minding my age, i will go through all hurdles to reach the peak of my career no matter what.
Thanks for your time on my blog.
Of a truth , if it's always possible lots of mistakes would have been corrected , looking back at what you've lost only brings bitterness and anger , but all we've got to do is forgive ourselves ,let go of the past and focus on what the future has in store for us.
I'm glad it wasn't too late
Age or stature should not be a limitation to the success one can achieve in life, because time waits for no one before you know it one has gotten old. And any time lost cannot be regained again. The earlier is always the better
