DIARY OF A FRESH GRADUATE…

Sick and just recovering from a deadly disease, I came to the University of Ibadan, dressed like a sales boy for the interactive session at the faculty of Law. Not that I didn’t know I was supposed to dress formal (white on Black), but I was too weak and tired to wear my clothes and shoe that were in my bag, which I brought from Lagos. Oops, let me even start from how my journey began in the first place even before my admission or my choice of studying in the university of Ibadan.

Just finished my secondary education at St. Gregory’s college Ikoyi, prior to my last paper during the West African Examination period, I gathered with my peers to discuss, because we know that day will certainly be the last day we will be seeing ourselves. At that meeting, we shared what our plans after school was, I remember some of my peers who are not necessary from my department saying their parent already have plans sending them abroad to continue their education, while some claim they are attending the University of Lagos, some private schools like Covenant University. I remember me saying, “my plan is to attend University of Lagos for my Law degree and simultaneously studying Accounting program in Yaba College of Technology, close to Unilag”, what I nice dream and ambition you might say, that’s what they all said too listening to me. So we laughed and mingled and at the same time prepared for our last paper...
To be continued whenever you see me here, certainly next week!
