My First Day In School. by Nobody: 2:55am On Nov 30, 2022
So yesterday was my first time in higher institution after several years of trying to gain admission.

I located my lecture room and went in,i knew i was older than most students here, and some students will come in bow their head to greet you(at a point i was disappointed at this, the boys know that this one is obviously older than them)i,only shook hands with few guys.


while in the room with the students, my heart bleeds even this midnight as I'm typing this tears came out of my eyes.

i even noticed that even among those from 200l upwards they seem to wanna carry their shoulders up,more like looking down on you if they notice you are a fresher,i know coz i spoke to a couple of them, even with the way some of them look at you,you will know.

I'm 24 years now, already seeing myself as a man,i did not even have interest in making friends with anyone at all yesterday despite speaking with several people,coz i felt really down.I'm not sure,i laugh since yesterday.
Everything seems like a nightmare to me.

i know some people will say, I have pride, reason why i was feeling this way, but pride is very far from me.

I pray God will comfort me.

FOCUS bro, no time for distractions. Don't get carried away by petty issues. Expand your network with the brilliant and other sharp guys, only roll with people you consider are focused and tap knowledge. No dull am!

Stay focused, you don't need to be down because of negative things. Channel your energy to the main purpose you're there and let your sufferness fuel your zeal for success.

Ace all your classes and aim high always. Age is not a barrier to success.

<<It is not secondary school where people take first position...
<<It's higher institution...
<<It's an individual race where u are graded based on your performance...
<<So it's up to u to focus on what matters or not..

My younger brother got admission in my alma mater at 28 so you have nothing to worry about.

Give it time.

At the end of the day, those respect will fly away and many of those boys will look older than you before you graduate.

As for your senior colleagues, they'll come around.

Starting college after years of trying was tough. Feeling older and less welcomed added to the challenge. Don't be too quick to judge others; sometimes initial impressions aren't accurate. Building connections takes time, so give yourself that. Self-respect isn't pride. You're taking a brave step; things will improve.
