At that time, i didn't know there was a school like Harvard where great ideas were birthed, i would have stolen to make it there. Lol!
Ironically, great ideas spring from great minds irrespective of their location.
Finally, i got into college, not for medicine sorry to disappoint you.....
Well i qualified for the entrance exams into college of medicine but my name was never released, after endless waiting, i proceeded to study Computer Science which was my second interest.
After settling down in college, i quickly noticed insufficient hostel accommodation for students
and i see that, as a problem, as well as an opportunity.
I took up the challenge to attempt to solve this problem in my own little way by securing off-campus accommodations for students. The experience was both exciting and challenging, i stuck with it for awhile anyway.
Attending classes wasn't just enough for me, there was always this desire for more, i bet some people are in my shoes. I soon found a cafe where i offered my services for free, i later found out it is called volunteering, these days, there are a lot of noble courses you could volunteer your free time to even before college.
Then, i found a small cake business off -campus and i decided to promote them to the campus stores. At first, i made no progress here at all but i kept encouraging this business in my own little way such that the business ownership was transferred to me when the initial owner had to relocate. So, i took over the business and it customers, acquired more customers and ran the business until my health started failing towards my last days in school.
I wished i knew the things, i now know, then, or wished someone was there to help me channel my energy properly, i know i would have made better impact and progress.
Do you feel this way, too?
Well, this is not a call for a pity party but a call to help those currently in this situation.
Let's help them channel their energy in a more productive way, that way we can reduce crime and build sustainable businesses.
If you agree, contact me. Let's see how we can impact our communities.
