Well, where I am now is a result of my decision and my family’s decisions, I’ve always wanted to go to the university to become a better and more educated person in the society and my parents of course also wanted that for me. But was the course I studied the path I wanted to follow? No. When I finished from high school, I wanted to study a particular course that aligned with my childhood dreams but I was given a different course that never made me feel fulfilled.
How is it going? It hasn’t been easy but it’s been worth it and I’m super proud of myself for coming this far.

Regrets? Yes I do have a few regrets, starting with what I studied in school(I tried switching severally to my desired course but that didn’t work so I had to continue with the course I was given). I’m yet to achieve my big dreams, but I’m a graduate now and being one I believe, would help me achieve those dreams regardless of the course I studied.
Have I been able to achieve those dreams? Not entirely, some of the dreams I’ve had since childhood are still there and some have evolved into something new. What stops me sometimes is limited opportunities, self-doubts, finances and job scarcity.
There’s a friend of mine who dropped out in 300 level in the university and went abroad to continue his studies, immediately he finished, he got a job; a well paying job at that, he got tired of that job at some point and picked up another one. In his words there are lots and lots of opportunities here , but I can’t say same for the country I live in.
Self-employment is the way I think I can break free, earning money on my own means I won’t have to rely on the non-chalant government to survive. I’m one hundred percent sure that once I’ve enough finances, I’ll be able to make my dreams come true.
The reason why most individuals in the society can’t achieve their set targets can’t be very far from the reasons I already mentioned—The country’s economic status is bad which boils down to lack of finances, and in all honesty you need enough money to achieve your dreams.

You can still achieve your dreams brother. I know it's sad that you didn't have the chance to study what your heart desires but not giving up is the best thing for you to get to where you want to be in life.
