Growing up, I used to be a very shy person. I was so shy that I couldn't utter a word when among people I'm not familiar with. It got me wondering how I would cope when I finally leave my comfort zone.
I finally left to university and my fear came to reality. Alas, I was in a city totally new to me, in the midst of so many people I hadn't met before and I was alone. Phew! I felt so scared and lost. How would I cope? That was the only question that ran through my head as I was trying to figure out which office and where I was to submit this or that. Oh boy, did I have a hard time finding out where these offices were located. Next, it was figuring out classes. I remember a day when I was so tired and fed up with everything that I just sat at a park with my eyes filled with tears. I couldn't blink because I didn't want any tear to drop thereby bringing unnecessary attention my way. I had never felt so alone.
Then a day came when I finally met one of my classmates. I met her in one of the female hostel halls when I went for registration. I didn't know she was my classmate until I walked up to her to ask her how to go about the registration and we got talking. I was so glad when I found out we were classmates. My days of being alone were over. We became buddies not too long after and we made other friends.
My friends and I still keep in touch even though we're now in different states after graduation. I'm grateful to God for bringing each one of them my way. They made my time at the university fun and memorable.
So that's the end of today's episode of story time. I hope you enjoyed it? Have a good evening.
