A MUST READ FOR ALL UNDERGRADUATES

LIFE AFTER SCHOOL: How do you want your story to look like?

Written by A.M Joseph

We are aware that the country's dam of young and fresh graduates has been opened again, the government has released thousands of graduates to the street without the thought of increasing the notch of job employment rate in the country.

The rate of unemployed graduates is increasing drastically in the country while the rate of job opportunities is hitting the level of colossal decline. However, it is very apparent that the government is not ready to bear the burden of any graduate any longer which is a proverb to all and sundry that they should use their hand to work for food to get to their table.

With the hush of the government over education in Nigeria, it is obvious that they have no concern about what's going on in the education sector. They have been pulling wools across our face for the past years, beguiling our parent/guardian. Though we're not fools, but we're fools when we fail to show to them that our future accomplishment doesn't lie in their hand but in the power to bring our dreams into reality.

I want you to know that the government is not your problem if not you, you failed to put on the table food for yourself just because you were too dependable on the certificate you were looking up to, you go about under the scorching sun searching for job just because you have invested to much of your trust on the government. But I tell you, if you can think deeply, if peradventure you can use your critical thinking and level of insight, there's a way you can get back from this country with it's current situation.

The most happiest man on earth is the man that expects nothing, the government can turn you you down but i tell you, your dream can never turn you down if you keep forging ahead, I guarantee you a secured future if you can break free every mountains of hurdles that lies in your dream.

Focus on your dream right from your day one on campus and you'll see yourself graduate as an institution, invest more of your hope in your talent and you'll see yourself graduate as a company and not a mere student. The future belongs to those that believe in the beauty of their dream.
Many had discovered their dream but they failed to leap it into reality just because of fear to fail at the end but you will be surprised to see the government turn you down on that certificate you have invested your hope in. What will your life after school look like? There's more hope in your dream than your certificate. Make a research today on how the cofounder of Facebook, the founder of Microsoft and more successful entrepreneurs made it to the top today. I challenge you today, what's your excuse?

Of what use is your certificate when the course you applied for is different from what you were been offered at your respective institutions. Whereas, just because you had no choice, you had to accept fate and take it on. Many are in higher institution studying irrelevant courses that is not inclined with their dreams just because of circumstances and yet they still depend solely on it.

Your passion for your dream guarantees your future success story, you can never succeed in what you don't have passion for because nothing comes for free, everything calls for sacrifice. Change your thinking today and believe in your dream, you are not to small to achieve that big dream, don't limit your self, don't devalue your standard. You can secure your future even before you graduate. It takes nothing to be a failure, it takes nothing to be at the level of the ground, but it calls for everything in you to be successful in life.

Will you be happy to attend your convocation ceremony on that special day? Will you feel achieved when others are dragging their feet on the street searching for vacancies? Nobody wants to loose his/her job in this situation we're in Nigeria currently because they are aware of the adverse rate of unemployment, so they will do everything in their capacity to retain themselves in that sit till they have an headway.

What do you want your story to look like after school? Do you want people to reference you or you want to Reference people. Do you want to remain a spectator or you want to be In action on the field. The choice is in your hand, the ball is all in your court. The president of Nigeria is not the cause of your failure, all you need is to change your monopolistic thoughts.

Stop wandering about what your future would look like, start planning for it because nobody has the leverage to control your future except you. You have a dream that is attached to your future, discover it, build on it, brand it and showcase it to the world. I tell you, you're going to wake up one day and discover you are 60, what would be your story by then? Will you feel accomplished?
