I WENT, WROTE AND CONQUERED

in Hive Naija2 days ago
I have told the story once of how I was meant to write a scholarship exam although it was risky very very risk because (1) I did not have transportation to go write that exam (2) I was in school and the exam was being conducted in my village in another state (I'm from agbor Delta state and I school in Niger Delta University Bayelsa state, the distance is quite far). The oga (Master) of them all is that (3) the scholarship exam was slated for Saturday I have my school's semester exam on Monday 😁 but I still took the risk even though I was skeptical and all shaky about it, it was not an easy decision to make as it felt like everyone was against it and me but I kind of understand their fears I know where it is coming from.

I called my mum and told her about the scholarship and she said it was a good idea but it was too risky, the long journey, the transportation fare, my exams and then she came up with this story of kidnapping going on on the highway, I almost gave up. I turned to my elder sister and in her words she said "what kind of scholarship is that? You know you can barely feed in school you still want to throw away money" she said so many things and then I turned to my eldest sister and she too tried to dissuade me although her only reason was that what if I do not pass the exams.

That was when I knew that if I do not take this matter into my own hands and get serious it will pass just like the air, I went to a coworker explained things to him and he lent me the transport fare, which I promised to pay back when I came back and then I went for the exams. It was in the exam hall I knew from my seat mate that I have been reading something else different from what they had told us to read because I wasn't in their Whatsapp chat group and there and then I thought "Esther is finish, how will you do this?" I still sat for the exam and we were told to wait behind so they would quickly mark the questions and tell us our results my seat mate who has read for weeks failed but I passed just by 1 mark (I'm not saying this to mock her but) I just than God I passed because I knew there were so many people waiting to mock me and say "I told you so" I gladly went home and that same Saturday because I slept at my sister's place and on Sunday very early in the morning I went back to school from my parents house.

Monday came the exam was postponed to Tuesday, Tuesday came I wrote my exam😁 , tha was how I was able to pay my school fees because I knew paying my school fees for this final year will be hard since my parents are no longer financially bouyant. At every step I felt like quitting but something kept pushing me and I went, I wrote, I conquered. 😁
Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you soon. 🤗

peace out ✌️

Thank you 😊

Sometimes people around love is too much that they would advice us not to do certain things. In your case, you asked for their advices but you still chose to do what you felt was right.

Happy for you, you went for the exam and passed well.

Fear of the unknown is the greatest killer of destiny. Thank God you conquered. Enjoy your scholarship
