Hello everyone, trust you are doing good. One of life experience that got me on the keys of the computer is Reunion. I will be sharing how reunion with old school members has been a source of inspiration to me and why it should be practiced by former classmates.
Firstly I will like to define what is reunion, narrate my experience of previous reunions and the most memorable meeting of old school friends I had ever encountered.
What is Reunion
Reunion is a gathering that comprised of members of a graduated set of people probably from school, camp or organization for the purpose of unity or togetherness.
If there is anyone who has benefited from school reunion before, it is me. I will be sharing my experience of previous reunions.
My experience of previous reunions
I attended Government Secondary School, Karu in Abuja, graduated from the school in 2011. Since after graduation, we have been holding meeting of reunion.
Here is our facebook page link.https://facebook.com/groups/689561637752825/
But when I gained admission to study in the University of Uyo, AkwaIbom State, Nigeria, I wasn’t able to attend reunited meeting till I graduated. The last time I attended the meeting left me in awesome suprise because some people were already experiencing thier future.
I'm sure you want to know what the inspiration is, but here is the summary.
“In Life, choose a single area where you are good at and explore with persistence, focus, believe and patience till you achieve the best from it".
What stands out to be the most memorable thing in the last reunion
In this subsection, I will sharing photo of my former class mate who made it in life.
Akeem
Here is my friend in school, he is my name Akeem, since after graduation we became friends on facebook. He was also a former class representative.
In our last meeting, Sanni drove in with his car, Camry XLE and I was so inspired because I love cars. When he wanted to give a speech, he told us of how he made it as an Real estate manager. He was into real estate and told us a bit of his story but everything was summarized on been focused to achieveiii your goal in life and you have to focus on a single goal, devote your time and explore your world.
I was inspired because this was who I even fought one day in school due to an argument. But here he is, owning a car before me worth NGN3,000,000 in Nigerian currency.
Other motivations I got as memory was marriage of some of my class mates whom I was acquainted with personally.
I couldn't take photos because my phone wasn’t good for taking images then but I wish I did. Some of the photos can be found in the face book page.
I was so motivated at seeing this because it inspires me that I can be like them when I choose a focus.
That was when I picked up statistical analysis because I love making meaning to things who has no meaning naturally and intend to explore the world of data science someday. Here is my flier to showcase my humble beginning because I will mention this post when I become who I want to be.
Though it’s still in line with my study but school has nothing to offer students in terms of experience in your field. The Industrial training you will be required to carry isn’t sufficient enough and there is a tendency to forget somethings after a period of time.
Lastly, I want to say if you have a friend who has made it which you see in your reunion meeting and probably you chat him up for help and he or she doesn’t respond, do not be angry because when you get to that level you will also do it to someone else not because you wanted to, but you will literally have time for people who doesn’t contribute to your income except those that works ihand in hand with your where you can earn.
Thanks for reading, do have a blessed day.
