You're right. Moderation is key. But, i usually see people who always follow their heart as unprincipled.

Okay. 2011 and 2012 were good cos I was working and also acquiring some skills. Little by little I made some savings. I got an idea of studying abroad and I pursued it. I wrote GCE and got my result clean. But a big blow of disappointment was around then. I took SAT and TOEFL and scored high. Got admission with some sort of scholarship in Washington University (AERONAUTIC ENGINEERING) and Oral Robert University (ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING) but couldn't go due to financial Statement or Bank Statement. My guarantor disappointed me. So I lost everything. My moral to study went down. I managed to pick jamb form 2013 and scored 155 OAU. My score was useless for both poly and univ. I summoned courage and sit for jamb again this year and here I'm, in for Applied Geophysics. Though its not electrical engineering like my papa, I love it cos I it is different from what I know. I want to find out the composition of the PAST.

My own story is quite funny and somehow sad.
I finished my SSCE in 2004.
Coming from a broken home, i went through hell before i could even have my O-Levels as there was practically nobody to assist me financially apart from my mother.
My father who was already married to another person practically abandon us.
However, i was determined to get the best of education.
I started working as a sales boy with a company that sells Tiles.
I am the first born so there was a load of responsibilities on me.
In 2006 i sat for GCE (Had Pass in Maths in my first SSCE exams in 2004), when the result came out i made all my papers.
I did not know this was the beginning of my lamentation.
Armed with my O-Levels, i proceeded to work as a library assistant in a secondary school where i was being paid N9,000 as at 2008.
In 2009, my junior brother gained admission to UNILORIN, i have to take a loan before we can meet up with his school fees as there was no help forthcoming from my father.
In 2011, i sat for JAMB and scored 306 aspiring to study International Relations at LASU.
I chose LASU because of their (then) affordable tuition fees.
To my utter amazement, Fashola increased the school fees from N25,000 to N200,000
There was no way i could make it.
My mother cannot a ford such a whooping amount neither my savings of just N80,000.
SO i gave up.
In 2013 i registered late for the JAMB exams and was forced to choose FUTMINNA as my exam center. ( I choose UI as my School of choice)
Three days to the exam, i still don't have transport fees to take me to Mina.. My mother eventually borrowed Five thousand naira from somebody.
I actually left Abeokuta a day to the exam but it was already evening before i could arrive in Ilorin, so i decided to sleep over in Ilorin with my junior brother who was already in 400 level.
The following morning, i woke up very early and head towards Minna.
I arrive 2 hours late into the exam.
Wrote the exam and scored just 192 (UI cut off was 200).
So i lost that chance again.
This year i registered for JAMB and choose OAU to study Public Administration.
I wrote JAMB and scored 228.
Disappointed that the score was low considering the competition for OAU, i reluctantly bought the post UTME form and sat for the exam.
I read very well in advance to the exam, so when i sat for the exam, i was so confident of making it when i saw the questions.
I marked my questions my self repeatedly several times and was sure of making it.
The confidence grew to the level that i did not even checked my POST UTME result.
When the merit list came out, it was here on nairaland that i posted my JAMB registration number and somebody here checked on my behalf and i was admitted.
I am very grateful to God.

If you are just joinin us, the programme is Testimony Time by TimmyTimmy. We wouldn't want you to miss a single Testimony cos they are all source of encouragement and lesson to others. We shall now give extracts from each Testimony. Relax and enjoy the show.

TimmyTimmy settled for something quite different from his passion(writing) with little or no parent's influence and challenges.

Uumm's initial desire was to be a Med doctor. He was later devastated after failing to gain admission to study medicine. There was parent's influence. But he's in for his initial desire.

Chamaka01's first aim was to be a lawyer. Dad's decision was medicine but she was terrible in science subjects ; lost interest in biology. She's now in for medicine which is different from first aim and future target.

Stay tuned we'll be right back.
