Re: OAU 2014/2015 FRESHERS (newly Admitted Students) Meet Here by Johnwills(m): 5:38pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
....throat cleared... Ladies and Gentle men, standing on the existing protocols, I commend our main man TimmyTimmy. Stories so far are all encouraging. Before I start let me say this "THAT WHICH HAS BEEN IS NOW; AND THAT WHICH IS TO BE HAS ALREADY BEEN; AND GOD REQUIRES THAT WHICH IS PAST." My parents: My papa was very good at engineering. Certified in Electrical Engr., Mechanical Engr., and mastered in what I don't know till date, he was a like a central man in NEPA and other companies in those days. From construction of Dams, installation of turbines, step-up transformers and national grids to installation of step-down transformer and house hold electricity, the guy was good. So my papa was guite enlightened . My mum is somehow contrast. She stopped school due to war and couldn't continue due to poverty. My early life: I loved machines and things that have wire. I liked wires, making connections(wrong and right connections) just to see what happens. Maybe its because of my dad. Cos he often comes back home with some electrical devices and machines for troubleshooting and repair. Most times I work with him as little as I was then-helping him with tools I could carry. Unknown to him I was learning and my interest has developed toward his career type. The day he realised my aim was when I tested some electric meters in his presence, though he was busy with some other devices when I did that. After telling him that I want to be like him-cos I've not known what engineering was then-he started restricting me from coming close to him when he's working. I thought it was for protection or safety, I never knew he had something else in mind. Growing up, nobody talked to me about career cos they saw the direction I was going. But my papa said that none of his child will do his kind of work. Which means he don't want us to go into technology or engineering. Neither did he guide us to any other field. *you are on your own* My mum would pray over whatever you've decided to be. She is calm. My education: I grew up in different environments due to nature of my papa's job. Transfer here and there. So I did primary and secondary in different cities. This affected me due to change of teacher and environment. When you think you've already adapted to the school, transfer will come. And my papa no care. We all must go with him. I no sabi book from primary to secondary. Not that I failed so badly but in a class of 20 you would never find me among the first 10. I got most of my promotions on trial. Yet my skills were there. My papa began behaving somehow. He started becoming less concern with our education after his retirement. I did my secondary in a notorious public school where riot was order of the day. From JSS2 I and my friend started what is called "heepee". We would go to school in the morning and around 8 or 9am, we will leave through the back gate via the help of a senior. Both of us will wander around the city till 1pm or 2pm. *very bad* It continued like this till SS2 when our math teacher address the entire class. I picked interest in math but there was no text book. My papa bought me Chemistry, Math and Phy text book in my SS3. I changed circle of friends. I joined the bright fellows in my class then. But I was just an odd number in their midst. My hand writing was very bad, I was static. Yet I was influential; not that I had money-cos poverty don come our house then, I wasn't big in size- the smallest in their midst. I can't tell why. My first SSCE was in the year 2003, 1 D7 and 8 f9. I decided not to show my papa the result. Unfortunately, towards the end of the year when I wanted to open up, the man joined his fathers. By then God come open my head. I began to understand somethings. I started studying with understanding. So, from the money my mum got during the burial arrangement, I was able to register for another exam. I was coming up but the result was bad too. No english and math and other subjects. I had phy c6 and chem c5. After his burial in the year 2004 abject poverty came. Let me take some water. Brb |

jeez...lots of stories to tell |
Re: OAU 2014/2015 FRESHERS (newly Admitted Students) Meet Here by Johnwills(m): 6:27pm On Oct 11, 2014 |
Continuation. I only got the result of the 2004 WAEC the next year cos there was no money to either buy result checker or go to the school and collect the result. Studying my books with no aim of going to school was what I did for some months. I never knew God's plan for me. I decided to use my siblings to do teaching practice. It worked. I started helping my neighbours to do math assignment. Sometimes I recieved a gift of money which I hand over to my mum so as to help her buy more food. I went to a man organising summer lesson for students. After teaching some students they were happy and that changed the story. I decided to go to schools. I went to so many schools but I was rejected cos I had no relevant qualification. Finally I got to one, when I was asked my qualification I told them o'level, the person incharge said "there is no chance for you" I wanted to leave but my spirit told me to insist. I requested for a test. When I was tested I scored 20/22. They were amazed and confused. How to take an o.level holder as a teacher. Finally I was taken. I can still remember vividly what happened when I brought my first salary home. My mum danced and danced. From my little savings and coupled with the fact that my immediate elder sis was in Poly Nekede, I decided to use my incomplete result and do Pre ND. I did the preND 2007 and passed. Then started OND in Science Tech. Completed it in 2010. |

Okay. 2011 and 2012 were good cos I was working and also acquiring some skills. Little by little I made some savings. I got an idea of studying abroad and I pursued it. I wrote GCE and got my result clean. But a big blow of disappointment was around then. I took SAT and TOEFL and scored high. Got admission with some sort of scholarship in Washington University (AERONAUTIC ENGINEERING) and Oral Robert University (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING) but couldn't go due to financial Statement or Bank Statement. My guarantor disappointed me. So I lost everything. My moral to study went down. I managed to pick jamb form 2013 and scored 155 OAU. My score was useless for both poly and univ. I summoned courage and sit for jamb again this year and here I'm, in for Applied Geophysics. Though its not electrical engineering like my papa, I love it cos I it is different from what I know. I want to find out the composition of the PAST. "THAT WHICH HAS BEEN IS NOW; AND THAT WHICH IS TO BE HAS ALREADY BEEN; AND GOD REQUIRES THAT WHICH IS PAST" Jwills |
