TAKE THAT STEP,YOU WON’T REGRET IT.

I remember when I had just gained admission to study Law in the Lagos state university, Nigeria. It was such a big deal and I was overwhelmed but then,I didn’t really know how to go about life in UNI. neither did I have anyone to help me navigate. We had just written our first exam and when the results were released,I failed,I mean, I failed really badly.

I was so hurt,I cried so hard every night,most times I couldn’t sleep,I started reading seriously. I’m not a social person and I don’t talk to people but I started reaching out to people who could assist me, it was surprising when I saw my results from the second exam, I didn’t pass in flying colours but I had managed to push myself from a second class lower to a second class upper, baby steps girl.

It’s now the beginning of another year and it’s normal for everyone to have their new year’s resolutions. I have mine, and my academic comeback is one of them. Early this year, I’ve had major wins, which would not be seen as a big deal to anyone, but it is to me. I already said I’m not a social person but there’s this competition my school holds for 2nd year students, it’s called the fons et origo competition.

The purpose of this competition is to build young minds in advocacy, 2nd year students are expected to face one another in court as counsels, Yes, it is a mock session. I joined this competition, ps: it’s not mandatory to join, in order to improve my social life, I already mentioned earlier that I’m not a social person but I saw this as an opportunity to grow and build myself.

I had an epic fail during the competition but I still managed to move the judge’s heart,lol. It wouldn’t mean anything to any other person but it was a really huge step for me, it was a drive and I didn’t even want to end the ride,smiles.

My second huge step was joining a society which is not something an introvert would do. There are various societies in the faculty both within and outside the school, a friend posted this particular link to apply as a member in the society. I decided to give it a try and clicked on the link, the questions were,oh my gawd, at first I wanted to just give up and go back but I had to do it, this was another opportunity to put myself out there,I couldn’t afford to lose it. So I applied and just recently, I was accepted as a member, I got my ID and became an official LEI member.

Well, I’m not there yet, I’m not where I want to be yet, I’ve not achieved what I want to yet but I’m on track and with God on my side, I’ll get there.To all who are reading this please take that step to success and if you have don’t give up and don’t stop trying. See you at the top.
