Struggling as an Undergraduate to get an Expensive A4 Paper

I would love to use this particular picture to discuss my true life story. Just like any child who wanted to make her parents proud, after my secondary school, I can remember when I was looking for admission in the University of Uyo, in the prestigious department of pharmacy. I actually got the admission at the University of Uyo in the department of pharmacy.

I was so happy, and my parents were so proud of me that their daughter will become a pharmacist in the future. I was not really enlightened that when you fail one course, you will repeat the class, and after that, if you fail again, you will automatically withdraw from the department. That is exactly what happened to me in my second year. After I repeated the class, I was so devastated. I was unable to concentrate, and I lost focus.

Because of fear that when I write again I will fail, I automatically withdraw from that department. I became a laughing stock at the university. I later moved to another department, to the point that when I saw my former course mate from pharmacy, I would run and hide because of fear that I withdrew from that department. I moved to the physiology department. I was not focused, and I lacked concentration. My life was so miserable to the point that I wanted to commit suicide.

So lack of focus and concentration made me fail again. I withdrew again, so I was like, 'So finally I will become a school dropout.' I went back to the house and kept on crying like a baby, so one day I stood up again and said to myself, 'Must I be a pharmacist before I have what to wear or what to eat or start my own family?' I stopped crying and got another JAMB form and went back to the same university. With the previous knowledge I had, I was able to focus and concentrate.

I was very serious because I did not want the mistake to repeat itself. I read day and night until I finally graduated. It was in my new department that I met the man I am now married to. I am so happy that I did not allow fear to let me back off. I used this opportunity to encourage anyone out there not to give up. If you have any of your dreams, pursue them with full cheeks. Maybe if I had given up since the first time, I would not have become a graduate today, and I could have missed my dream husband. If you know my story as I am telling you now, you will tell me congratulations.
