Oboy see the way my eye just pop out...na GP I dey see so....


don't ever compare someone with yourself if you want to make it in life....


it is a strategy by the evil one....many have committed suicide through such means.....run at your pace....


if your friends can read for two hours for what you can read for four hours to comprehend...then follow your strength and stop using their standard...


you will definitely make it...take note: you are important to the world...someone is waiting to receive you...if you wish to chat up with me on WhatsApp indicate

With all the morales and uplifting advices from hearty nairalanders on your other post, you're still not good to go.
PRAYER
DELIVERANCE
REFORM
INTENSIVE MONITORING.
that's all you need.
Re: I Feel Intimidated Around My Friends In FIRST CLASS by potbelly(m): 9:56am On Jun 23, 2018
Is engineering your desired discipline or it was forced on you?
If it's not better switch, if it is then you need to improve yourself...
These your friends that are having First Class, try study with them if they study together, use materials they use (very important), you will definitely get better with time...
If they are truly your friends, they will want to see you improve and they will push you to become good as well...

hello amaka.
I will advise you with my own story.

when I was in primary school,I was a smart kid who wanted to study engineering when I grew up.but I hated maths like Superman hates kryptonite.
other subjects I was always above average.

All this continued until I reached Jss3.we'd just finished our third term exam and it was time to share exam results scripts. they shared all other subjects. I did well above average. I had friends I used to compete with as to who will get d highest score.we'd show ourselves our scores when each received his own script.

But it got to d point when maths would be shared.my friends got theirs before me I'd seen their score. lovely scores.mine came,lo and behold what I saw gave me instant headache.I got 15/60.it was a record low.my friends asked to see my script but I lied that they hadn't shared mine.the point is-i was thoroughly ashamed to let anyone see that score. it would totally wreck my reputation among my friends.

I went home and cried seriously. but one thing I did was to tell myself that I'd do whatever it took to master maths no matter what.when I got to ss1,O gathered all the maths textbooks we used from jss1 ,2 and three combined with my new Ss1 textbooks. I consumed their contents voraciously. I became obsessed with maths.anything I did was maths. I solved maths first thing in the morning,before I went to bed. every time and everywhere. it got to a point the best student in class had noticed this and came to ask me one day "do you want to kill yourself with maths?".

My hard work paid off.I became top three best in maths on my set.woulda even gone for cowbell competition buh wasn't as hot as the top two.

So my advice is simple. locate where your problem lies.tackle it like ur life depends on it.you might have to quit some friends and social interactions for the time cos you will need to read constantly. I'm talking long hours like 6 hours straight every single day.it's hard but you can do it.you won't die either. that's the sacrifice you have to make.don't listen to anybody saying that engineering is not for you.its not too late to fix it since you're still in 100L.
Good luck!

That feeling is inevitable and it's worse is if your friends are the type that are condescending and they rub it in your face.
If your friends are the bolded, leave them. They are not meant to be your friends.
If they are not, I would advise you still hang around with them for academic help where need be. If the feeling of inferiority is overwhelming, I suggest you distance yourself from them a little and look for a stranger that has first class to help you out or you work on your own following the advice I gave you earlier.

Amaka Amaka Amaka ! How many times did i call you?

Try your possible best to graduate with at 2 1... But Babe, Pray for Grace. The feeling of Intimidation shouldn't be around u pls.. Just run ur race.. No look another man directions..

Then ensure before you leave school you acquire a skill.. Preferably IT skills.. From graphic design to web development/Programming , or even Excel!! You will always have something to offer!
Have a great day love

First of all, don't leave those friends, they will be useful in one way or the other to you.

Search deep within yourself and find out how best you understand/assimilate.

Don't compare yourself with them too much or you will become discouraged easily from your objectives because they already know the winning formula.

Now let me give you my own winning formula.

N.B: it is not set in stone, you can modify to suit yourself.

1.Read what you learnt in lecture the same day(two hours should be enough).

2.Never miss any deadline for submission (projects and assignment et al).

3.Don't be shy to approach your friends with better standing to put you through difficult areas.


Generally speaking, the key to success in school is doing the right thing at the right time- and understanding yourself. I have a friend who watches movies, plays video games any time after lectures , he onlybreads a few days to tests or exams(his lowest GPA was 4.88). Now if I should try to copy him I would be in trouble!

Take care and work smarter!
