Joclebs:Wanted to study BANKING and FINANCE, ended up with EDUCATION/GUIDANCE & COUNSELING I kicked off my higher educational pursuit in 2008, then i was in ss3 but took JAMB with an awaiting result. The result (JAMB) was released and i didn't make it to the POST JAMB. I seek courage from friends that were already in school then. I wrote another JAMB in 2009, scored very high even in the Post JAMB; yet was denied Admission, probably cos i wasn't an indigene. This time, my parents gave up on my dreams to further my education, to make matters worse, my dad suggested i learnt a skill, i couldn't help but to disobey my dad for the first time, which i'm not regretting today. Months passed and i was still home, wallowing in depression and frustration. My peers were already living a new life styles in a different environment, learning new things, getting exposed to different cultures and norms. Each time i called them, they feed me with gists on their new environment and this would make me feel irresponsible and useless. So i decided to take a year break, but Thank God i believed in my dreams. It was time (2011) for Jamb again, i purchased the form as usual (customer). I took the exam again and was denied admission. Then i felt my parents were actually right. I cried to God "what could be the problem?" My mates were being accepted, yet rejection was my case. All the while i was taking these Exams, i had a small paying job, so i was saving, thereby, independent to an extent. That was the only way i could allow my parents have me in my academic pursuit. Fortunately, in 2012, i wrote and succeded. Finally! I was at work when a friend called that he saw my name on the admission board. I took permission from work to make confirmation on the good news. Sadly, i got but discovered i had been given a course to study. Meanwhile, i never told my parents that i kept taking Jamb after my second trial. even when i travelled down to the school for acceptance, no one knew. I called my family to break the good but sad news to them. I knew nothing about the course (Education/Guidance and Counseling) i was going to accept. I had wanted to study Banking and finance for many years, but i was presented with a strange course. I made several researches on the discipline, asked people about it and they all adviced and encouraged me to take it. This time, i ran to God again "if this was your will for me, perfect it." I had my matriculation, studied the course like it was what i had wanted. Although, my first year was not easy, as i was still trying to adapt to the environment, discipline and otherwise. I was elected as the course rep, owing to my positive relationship (humility) with colleagues. I took my academics seriously, graduated in 2016 with a 3.9 GPA. Did NYSC in 2019, alongside 2 professional courses (HSE & HRM). My advice to admission seekers "Do not relent, no matter what and how long it takes." I'm currently job hunting, please help a brother. Even if it's a volunteering Job, i'm more than willing. 07085404882 2 Likes 1 Share |
