Recently, I have heard many students express their displeasure about studies. They have totally lost hope in making it as successful students. A few days ago, I read about a student on Nairaland who was about committing suicide because she graduated with a third class degree from school. As if that was not enough, just yesterday another student confessed that he was tired of schooling and won’t hesitate to call it quits. These and many more should be a source of worry, and concern for all and sundry.

The Country Is Not Helping Matters

We are all in a country where university certificate is idolized and it is really difficult to gain admission into tertiary institutions. The truth is that most people end up studying courses which they never dreamt of or envisaged in their lives. And because we all wish to be university graduates, we have no option than to accept those courses and study them against our wills, aspirations, and dreams.



Most students end up not really performing well in those courses and at the end of the day wished they never attended the four walls of the university. It has gotten to a stage that most students upon graduation or dropping out of school unwillingly console themselves with the fact that some popular persons today never graduated well, or that the Bill gates, and the likes of this world never had it rosy in school and had no option than to drop out.



It is true but…

These are facts that cannot be disputed. But one thing most students fail to understand is that, we are never the same. They failed to realize that they are not Bill gates, nor others who had no option than to drop out of school. They failed to include that the condition those people found themselves isn’t the same as theirs. They failed to be sincere to themselves and realize that, those who later graduated with poor grades, are entirely different from themselves. They also forgot to include that the society we find ourselves differ. The truth is that, we are all unique and the situation surrounding our actions and in-actions differ totally from the other.

What then do you do?

Having found yourself in this situation stated above, Now that you feel like calling it quits in your studies, or in fact having decided to commit suicide just because of your poor grades.

You need to ask yourself these sincere questions:

Is it justifiable?

Is it the right step in the right direction?

Do you think it can finally be a solution to the quagmire you are in?

If you quit studying today, what else will you do?

If you decide to kill yourself today, does that change anything?

Will the decision make you happier, fulfilled, and more successful?



As you ruminate on these questions.

You need to take a look at the following points.

What is the essence of studying?

Are you in school, to be more educated or just to acquire certificates?

If you do not go to school today, what else will you be doing?

Do you think your future lies solely on that degree earned?

Do you think that, not graduating well means not living well?

Don’t you believe that, the downfall of a man is not the end of his life?

Haven’t you read stories of those who never went to school/ graduated poorly but are better off today?

These and many more are points you need to think deeply about before taking any decision.



On a Final Note:

The truth is that in life we are bound to encounter challenges in one way or the other. Your attitude towards it and your reaction can make it a nice or an awful experience. One thing I have come to realize in life is that there is an opportunity in every condition we find ourselves. What matters most is to understand this, and make the best use of these opportunities while they last. You might not have graduated well, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel as it is not too late to start all over again, this time more prepared. You might be witnessing a decline in your academic performance, but it is never late to re-strategize and perfect your performance. The solution to any problem you encounter in life is solely with you. Your destiny is truly in your hands and only you can make it happen.

Over to You:

Have you ever encountered challenges in school that you thought the best option was to quit? Have you ever contemplated committing suicide due to your academic performance? What was the experience like then and how did you overcome the unfortunate situation.
