A STITCH IN TIME

Why would I go to a polytechnic or college of education? I soliloquized as I walked down the street. Anyone who hears me talk about the issue of my admission will think there is something more to it. I really wanted to go to the university I kept on saying but I had not been given admission after some years of making an exertion.

Some years back after secondary school, I decided to further to an institute of my choice and it was especially going to be a university because I heard people who go there were much more respected than those who went to the polytechnic or a college of education

This blinded my understanding more that I see those who went to this institute less.

After all most of my mates went to the university why would I go to polytechnic I said to myself.

The first time I wrote Jamb I had a good score and leaned toward one of the best universities, the result for the post-utme came out I wasn't offered admission still I was not discouraged though I had expected reasonable results, well I still did not give up.

The next year came I took the exam after some months the result was released I passed feeling overwhelmed with joy, luckily for me a friend of mine promised to connect me with someone she claimed I could trust and who could help me with my admission, this period I was assured that I would definitely go to a university. To my amazement, I was told the person traveled out of the country and would not help me after many months of waiting. I was shattered, the joy I had within me left like a human who kicked the bucket, I was already losing hope.

Then a close family friend told my mom of a school and suggested I go and that I would definitely go for direct entry when am done instead of just sitting at home without any qualifications

Can you imagine! it was a college of education I said to my mom who gave a vapid smile. She knew I would still insist on going to the University, she had tried her best to convince me but all to no avail.

I refused because I thought of it as a waste of time going to a college and after 3years still going for a degree and other programs coupled with the fact that I would be looked down upon because of the qualifications so I kept on processing admissions to a university hoping one day I will divulge to the school

Every day I pray to God to get admission
Till a day came by I had already spent 7years at home seeking admission, what clamped me most was that a huge business came but the deterrent to it was no credentials I couldn't beg for it because I was not fit for it at that moment I knew I had frankly fuck up. if I had proceeded then I should be rounding up truly a stitch in time saves nine.

I speak to the young not to waste time chasing a particular pursuit that one you are wavering can be the one that will open doors to others

Stop comparing yourself to others, God's plan and purpose for you are distinct from theirs
God will not want his child to spend years on a spot without making a difference. There are times when he wants you to be in a particular location for a concrete reason.

Don't allow situations to thwart certain things that can bring progress to your life and destiny

Having nothing to put forth is very bad.Have seen people who make a difference in their world and they all cringed by taking a step

A stitch in time truly saves

Wow, I stitch in time really saves that. I can relate with you on that, I was also like that before gaining admission. Of course I wanted to go to the university far away from home but I couldn’t because of my dad.
My dad later suggested we go to an open university, which requires me to study from home, all my friends were pursuing university and polytechnic far from home so they can have their freedom.
The first year passed down to the third year but am grateful now that am in school studying from home. God really knows what’s best for us. I remember when I was praying strongly for me to gain admission into unilag but God knows best.
