Yah! You, (excited) come on here (beckon)
I gat somewat to tell yah!
You see, am so excited today, yah today! Like no other day. I just gat a summary of LIFE - now don’t you laugh at me. “Life is a continent of mystery, discovery and pleasure, everyone must have a share of the mention”-Oludamiloladeji (yah r right, that’s my Quote! Hehehehe… ROTF)
So, what I am going to be doing in this blog is to tell you a little about my trip in life that has made me come to the conclusion of the above quote.
Life as a Continent of mystery...
Sometimes far back not too long ago, I just couldn’t tell of what life means, to what essence I wake up, dress up to school; most exciting time in school for me then is having my friend-Joy Kinze undivided attention, Naw, She is not a guy, she is a gurl!, I love this epitome of beauty so much, our schoolmate says we look alike and that makes me beam with joy. And my worse times is any subject teacher- except literature in English that I was naturally gifted in- calls for assignment to be marked in class or deliberately call on me to give answer to a question. I just think I can’t give the right answer so I just passed my exams and do my assignments well because mom who is single handedly sponsoring mine and siblings’ education then, warned us never to repeat a class which means repeating a fee am sure if schooling was free she might not have cared less (not because she didn’t want anything best for me but she would that I learn my lessons on my own than being taught). Everyone in my class have an ambition, except me, I only echo probably someone I admire “become”- “I want to become a Journalist”
Now, we all graduated; by chance for me (and my likes) and by expectation for the rest. I was so confuse I do not know how to fill in my UME- University Matriculation Examination forms to correspond with intended discipline. I really don’t have a “become”, I don’t have a favourite subject- I didn’t skill myself in any. But somehow I settled for Art, yah, Fine-Art! I wanted a shortcut. I discovered at that time that seem to be the only subject I did not need to read for (Laughing).
So, I put in my application into a tertiary institution and life continues like before, I draw, paint, sculpt, mould, design…all because of my sponsor, I could not see the future in what I was doing at the present. Many times I want to stop schooling; living. Now, let me tell you here that formal education isn’t the only thing that is suppose to make life (learning even outside the school wall is more educating and that also is life-living.) that I did not interest myself in, I did not interest myself in knowing people; learning of them and learning from them- my friend Joy Kinze, worked on our relationship, she adds the flavor to it and at this time we have gone our separated ways for further education sake- being alone just gives me pleasure than anything else; I read novel at least one interest (smiles) and when am not reading am doing a story in my mind, oh! Beautiful picture of me and family as written by authors of my romance novels and that I never think I could attain this picture by serious study, good grades and good relationship with people amazes me.
I graduated with a 2-2 and right now I am so pained that my brain could do better than I let it…
