When Cassidy finished his primary. He could not figure out for himself of what his next step would be. And this was due to the hardship he had single handed[b][/b]ly gone through over time. But when he was still in the primary school, one of the traits he constantly display was a journalistic attitude. Because, whenever he had to carry out any assignment in the school, he was constantly writing on the very sport like most journalist do. Although, reflecting back on memory lane, this was undeniably known only by a handful of his friends at the time.
Eventually, it was his Dad that brought the idea that he must move away from the country side due to the prevalent redundancy and difficulty to getting anything done without viable sustainability. When he later came out from the country side, he knew he was open to numerous possibilities that would enable him to help himself out, without waiting for any idea from any one. His first move in that direction was to enroll into a part time schooling to study construction, a field he was not particular interested in doing. But for the sake of occupation and to just make use of the necessary and available time he has to fall in line
The reality of such idea was that, he was not going to waste time at all, even though, he was not particularly interested, but he soon discovers that he was good in drawing among the many subjects in the field. But after just a few months into the program, he pulls out without reason. Although, he later discovered it was all due to a low level of interest he hard towards what he was doing at the time. When he pulled out from the school, Cassidy was interested in taken up a full time job. To his estimation, he could save enough to school himself on a full time bases instead of part time he had chosen to attend. While he was now working full time he never give up in his study as a way of preparation for his next move. Needless to add that, Cassidy was a disciplinarian in his term, hence, he was preparing gradually for a time he would go back to full time study. Just after about three years on his job, Cassidy was anxious to quit his job, as he was trying his hand in some of the external examination. After one or two of such examination, he was called upon to start off. According to reliable information, without hesitation he left the job and went straight to a full time study.
He did so, without informing any one of his decision, and when he was asked of how he would found the fees, he would simply say nothing. But the reality was that he was just waiting for the gratuity he would be paid to start off the initial payment. As soon as he was paid, left his work and enter the school with the help of his friend who carry the preliminary connections. Because without such connection, it would have been difficult, if not impossible. Before, he knows, he had finished up and as the providence would have it, he got a scholarship that helps him to travel out. Cassidy eventually end up of not wanting to come back as he got himself a wife and settled with children.
