THINKING OUT LOUD (T.O.L🤏)…

Honestly, i must give kudos to each and everyone of you that has passed and made it through the four walls of the tertiary institution, be it Polytechnics, Universities or Colleges of Education. A special kudos to those who made it through to the end regardless of the unending trials and hardships they must have faced and overcome in their respective field of study, it is not an easy task and that is why i am giving a special shoutout to them…

If i were to be told about the hardships and difficulties of having to be a tertiary institution student in words i wouldn’t have believed the words of anyone then like i do now, and that is because i am currently in that phase of life right now, this is no longer a third-party kind of thing anymore, i am living in that time now. I am facing that student hardship and struggles firsthand and honestly it isn’t getting easier neither is it getting interesting…

I am starting to wonder why so many of you didn’t even think of giving up halfway through the journey, especially when the whole thing became extremely difficult and everything was looking impossible. Honestly, I can’t count the number of times I’ve thought of giving up, especially when I experience something beyond my level of understanding and control as a student…

New day unending discovery. I am starting to understand why this level of learning is called a tertiary or advanced learning, and the reason why it is called an advanced education is because everything we do in this level is 10 times higher than what we did in high school, what is expected and required of us in this level is much more advanced and complex than what was expected of us in our respective high schools…

I have always been told how advanced tertiary examinations are, the strictness of these examinations is one thing while the reading aspect of it is another challenge on its own. As a student of one of the best polytechnics in my country, I concluded my first semester examination a couple of weeks ago, and right now we are currently in the second semester, which means another examination is coming up in the next couple of months from now. Honestly, only i know how crazily i studied for the last concluded semester exams, i wrote an examination for 16 courses. 11 written exams and 4 computer based exams, it wasn’t easy but with sleepless nights and so many late night reading with some high caffeinated drinks I was able to write something down in these examinations…

The second semester is ongoing and right now everything is looking so choked up and i am kind of scared this time around, compared to the fear i had while preparing for last semester’s exams, this is greater and that is because some new courses have been introduced and amongst this newly introduced courses, i have that one or two courses i don’t like since my time in high school, but now i have to like it because i must have a good grade in it to make the whole struggle worth it…

The ending of the semester is just around the corner, the examination time table is just around the corner. I guess I need to double my studying habit this semester, I need to start preparing early because my early preparation would be the bedrock of my success in these courses…

Just a couple of examinations left to complete my NATIONAL DIPLOMA PROGRAM, after these examinations there will be a year break before the next phase of HND. I am keeping my fingers crossed this semester, and i know and believe that i can do it, what i need to do to scale through is a masterclass preparation and with God’s grace it will be great. I have come too far to quit or to settle for less, IT IS EITHER I WIN 🏅 OR I WIN 🏆, and on that note I say a big congratulations to my brother @justfavour on the final lap of his academic career, well done brother 🤏…

NB; all images are mine…
