I don't know if you can try it but it's good for you. I want you to learn how to support yourself so that your dream can be achieved.
You need to do little things to establish that major things. These are little bossiness student can do while in school to ease the burden on their parent also help to execute the plans you have for the nearest future.
Many of us are not from a well to do family, in fact large number of us get back to school with money and food stuff that cannot take us beyond half of the semester.
The situation is worst in polytechnics and colleges of education where students are required to buy handouts now they call it textbooks even when it's photocopied and it's not more than a pamphlet for a huge amount of money.
The pressure is indirectly on the parent because many students can't see any other thing than their books. They are not doing anything to ease the burden and help their tomorrow. It is a bad orientation to say ''Education is the most important thing'' it blind fold us to see God's given abilities and other things we can do to increase our chances of making it in life. I was very sad when I heard from the news that a son of a clergy man committed suicide because he was not given admission into higher institution. How I wish I meet this young man before the incident, I would have showed him one thousand and one things he can become without a certificate.
You are not expected to learn books alone in school, You learn to get along with different things catering for yourself and deciding on what to do per time. I also see this as an opportunity to start doing something to help yourself, building up something to sustain you after college.
Preparation for tomorrow start before you even enter college, college is more than just books and the certificate you will get after learning, but learning along that is the act of being independent.
Good certificate does not guarantee a better tomorrow, only smart student make the difference.
In my school, I find student in several places doing different things to support themselves, some doing per-time jobs while the school is on session while others wait behind during holidays to pick up jobs and raise money for the next semester.
Many students do business because little or no help comes their way, but I want you to do this, get used to making money and prepare yourself for the challenges after school.
Make money through school and after school, live a life that is certificate independent and you will be financially independent.
Everybody should go to school but everybody should not rely on their certificate.
BUSINESS LIKE....
Some of these guys around your campus selling vouchers, making phone calls, do you know they are students like you? Some could even be more brilliant than you are. Their business ranges from selling provisions, confectioneries, some repair even repair handset. Don't be idle, business is only for hardworking me.
You cannot mention the word business without calling the word BUSY...NESS, it's a suffix added to the word busy. BUSY+NESS = BUSINESS.
An act of being busy making money.
Be inspired and start doing something today, it's never too late.
