What are the basic reasons pulling you out of University? Are you totally convinced?

I`m not making you to becoming so obsessed or confused with your decisions but You should know Environment plays a major role. A common (though factual) mentality of we Nigerians is citing foreign achievers like Bill gates, Dangote...without considering the limiting geographical and environmental factors surrounded with it ,not even this Country -Nigeria and that we are endowed to opportunities differently.

So, be efficiently convinced before making your long term decisions and also make a concise research from those with experiences who already followed exact routes.

But it might be good if you combine the 2.


Education (no matter the level) is Key.

good

Hey, wave those memories and set new goals.

Make sure you find those with better grades and GPA than yours and ask them exact things they wrote and how they did them.


Here is my similar advice to a similar case

∆° first, do away with your 1st semester result memory and start strongly afresh.
Hey, believe what I tell you.
Don't only read to have *A. but read to have d highest s_core in each course you do.*
Your goals are still achievable

Danieljuwon:
Hello, nlanders... I need ur advise, I was disappointed when I saw my first semester 100l result yesterday. I had 3.72gp, upon reading day and night. Pls I need someone to mentor me, my second semester exam(first paper) is on thursday, can I still make first class degree... Just to make her happy(my mum).

Hmn,
first, do away with your 1st semester result memory and start strongly afresh.

Hey, believe what I tell you.
Don't only read to have *A. but read to have d highest s_core in each course you do.

_
So YES (_1st C)It's more possible on a 5.0 CGPA Scale

Good of you

Yes, indeed

PLS EVERYONE! BE AN ENCOURAGER MANY PEOPLE ARE SILENTLY SUFFERING ...... PLS EVERYONE! BE AN ENCOURAGER MANY PEOPLE ARE SILENTLY SUFFERING ......

Rubbish post, those points emanated from OP school of thought (Perspective)
That people steal doesn't make everyone a thief

Tommy2420:
Which one is more correct when someone of your phone number?(1) Zero 8 Zero (080) (2) Ho 8 ho (080)

Zero 8 Zero (080)

No wonder, I couldn't imagine a leader of tomorrow brought up a useless and rubbish idea as this.

And to the OP, I shake my head

Modo9:
i am currently in my final year and i have lost all motivation to study. what can i do

That mood is a big SCAM to failure.(to avoid story that touches)

Remember you are someone's INVESTMENT. So get up, move, read and study with those more inspired than you are.

I shake my head for the general mentality of some Nigerian youths.
Factors like environments , locations, geographical areas and time play a big role 2 one's success in life.

What works for A in one generation might not work for B in another generation not even( alone )NIGERIA. You really don't have to decline Education as an escape route to success but, it rather depends on how you turn or visualise it to be.

In this generation what Education exposes you to is beyond lecture rooms.

please I need your advice , I'm currently a 200L student at adeniran ogunsaya college of education.. a part time student (lectures are only on fri-sun) I teach in a primary school during the week with an average salary of 12k... I'm thinking of dropping out because I think I've made a terrible choice, I think I'm going to take jamb again next year because I'm really depressed right now..some of my friends back in secondary school are already graduates right now

I also feel for you, it's a times not easy "doing what you don't like"..

But end your current program and offer you best 2 it.
Then ,humbly think and be truthful 2 yourself and capabilities to know what gives you Passion and motivation then, seriously go after it with specific goals

NEVER EVER COMPARE! BUT RATHER LET YOUR GOALS KEEP YOU BUSY

First class doesn't necessarily mean he understood what he was taught well enough, it simply means he was able to reproduce the lecture note on examination day and that opens the door for cramming.

A discouragement,

go your way

"When God decides to bless you, he does it in ways you don't expect".. Ok o.. So the 'blessing' just came with a car and told her to marry him abi? She wasn't expecting anything right? B i t c h.. Please sit the fvck down or simply shut the fvck up.. You are a hoe and you have no one to tell you!
For this guy to propose to you with a lexus, it means that he knows you are a gold digger but he is simply ready to foolishly pay the price just to lick your ass as most vagabonds do.. Stop telling us it is our God please.. We know it is the handwork of your cunt.. You are probably just like that bleached aunty 'iphone 7' smatcher that we read in a previous post..

If you believe god and satan exists. Then why don't you just add vampires to your list of delusions

And while you are at it don't forget to add werewolves, leprechauns etc

If you believe they all exist then please contact your nearest Atheist

do you believe DEATH exists? do you believe another life exists after DEATH?

if so, God exists.

Wasnt expecting such comments from a BEING at this World age

‘This your handwriting looks like a chicken’s trail on a muddy floor’ says dad as he went through my secondary school notes.

Those words sunk into my heart as I realized that handwriting still forms an integral part of our education system. I hurriedly went to analyze his own handwriting too, on the pages of his study notes in his room. Truth be told, it was lovely. It looked like a well-placed calligraphy.

Right there and then, I desired to improve my handwriting and by the time I was done with my self-taught handwriting lessons, I got compliments everywhere my writing was seen.

It didn’t end there, when I got to the university, I would copy my printed hand-outs into my personal notes, even if it will take me days to do that. This, I found easy because I had fallen in love with my writing and I now seem to read faster and assimilate better when I read my writing.

From choir notes to school notes to attendance sheets to complimentary cards to bank forms, my handwriting stood gallantly with arms crossed, taking pride in itself and smiling at each onlooker. The truth is, if each compliment were to come with a price, I’m sure I’ll be in trillions by now (Lol).

See why your handwriting is not just a trivial skill, but as important as any training you could undergo to add value to yourself.

1. IT INCREASES OR DECREASES YOUR EXAM SCORES
Do you know some exam papers are so hard to score simply because the written answers are not legible enough? On the other hand, if your handwriting is so easy to read and of course, your tenses are right, the lecturer will more likely give you extra marks for being able to read your scripts effortlessly and not straining his eyes as other writings would.

As a teacher, knowing that you would spend less time and energy to mark a particular student’s note is enough motivation to help you mark appropriately and completely.

Ask any teacher, lecturer or examiner, they will tell you that’s the truth and as long as the majority of our exams are handwritten, having a good one will give you an extra advantage amidst your peers. Don’t let your examiner guess what you wrote. Let your writing be bold enough to speak for itself. This is especially important for writing task as more attention is given to your spellings.

2. IT GIVES AN IMPRESSION – WHETHER FALSE OR REAL
There was a day I went to the hospital to visit someone and I helped out to buy some drugs at the pharmacy, unfortunately, I couldn’t read what the doctor wrote on the drug prescription note, I stared hard at the note over and over again but couldn’t fully read the full words.

Then, I assumed the doctor must be unprofessional and maybe a bit reckless. Well, I may be wrong, but wouldn’t you want people to see your handwriting somewhere and say ‘please I need to see who wrote this, he must be good-looking and neat’. Wouldn’t you? So, having a legible handwriting gives you a much better personality. The good news is, it can be learned and practised. So come on, it’s not rocket science.

3. IT CREATES OPPORTUNITIES
A friend of mine, Bright wrote a letter to one of the biggest secondary schools in Lagos, Nigeria to speak to the students and motivate them for excellence. Days later, he was contacted and realized that one basic reason he got called was that his handwriting compelled the receiver of the letter to read through. Obviously, the recipient was a busy person and would have shoved the letter somewhere for the next few days. That’s the power of a compelling handwriting, it could be easily used to make a judgement about us. Besides, there is a strong link between handwriting and spelling, which can reinforce early writing skills.

4. COMMUNICATION
Do you know some of your friends will look at some handwritings and say this must be my friend’s writing? she was here, I can see her writing on this sheet. So, would I be wrong to say, by your writing, we shall know your mark on the sand of time. Lol.

Imagine I wrote something for someone to see and the person gets there and cannot decipher what I have written, what happens to such information? It dies off, unfulfilled, mission aborted, no message passed. As inconsequential as this may sound, it can be a saving grace in a life-threatening situation where the only option you have is to write a message to the person needing the information.

5. COGNITIVE BENEFITS
While I was in the university, I had a jotter where I poured my thoughts after I’m done reading the lecturer’s notes, popularly referred to as hand-outs. As I kept doing this, I realized it was very easy for me to remember my notes because I wrote them consciously after assimilation.

Sometimes, the whole picture of my notes and the exact page will appear in my head and that gives me a natural speed to answer questions on time. You see, handwriting promotes clear thought and natural structure that helps you re-evaluate and digest your notes. This re-evaluation gives you the opportunity to add extra observations and personal explanations to what you’ve written while maintaining speed, especially in time-limited examinations.

6. IT MAKES YOU EMPLOYABLE
As insignificant as it may seem, some companies and industries require at least some display of handwriting skills. Some vacancies require a handwritten application letter or cover letter and you can imagine the fate of applicants who cannot write legibly and articulately.

Aside from being an employment skill, some fields such as Medical-related professions require medical notes and prescriptions for patients. An account officer or a financial recorder also need a legible writing to do a manual arithmetic and prevent a situation of miscalculation.

7. FEWER DISTRACTIONS
In this digital biosphere of I-pads and phone tablets, there is a lot of distractions from the internet and applications. You remember something and you want to quickly type it on your phone, a call comes in and then a text message and then a WhatsApp message and then a comment on your Facebook post (You can relate, right?), and before you know it, you have forgotten that which you wanted to type on your phone’s notepad. That’s what writing on a small piece of paper will not let you go through, why? Because it does what it is meant to do and not multi-task as your computers and phones.

Besides, there’s a tendency you would want to edit your words as you type rather than letting it flow which can be counterproductive for an inspired process but your hand lets you write your thoughts first and edit later, this way the creativity, originality and freshness of your ideas are preserved.

8. ARTISTIC OPPORTUNITIES
Studies show that there is something uniquely multidimensional about putting pen to paper to form words and phrases. Writing engages the brain and motor skills in a different way when compared to typing on a keyboard. It is likened to a holistic and tactile experience that engages the eyes, hands, fingertips, arms and hand muscles. The truth is, with a pen in my hand, I could write tens and hundreds of thoughts that will flow naturally, linking up creative and artistic opportunities that most likely wouldn’t happen when typing on a keyboard.

On a final note, Ryder Carroll, creator of Bullet Journal (a note-taking system for pen and paper), said “there is something incredibly powerful about making your mark on a paper. It’s the exact moment when an idea leaves your mind and looks back at you for the first time” and guess what! He has never been able to replicate that experience digitally.

His statement leaves me feeling complete about this whole write-up and that’s why I’ll just let my ink take a full stop here. No wonder many writers attest to the value of an outstanding handwriting.

I hope I have been able to convince you enough to make your writing as good and legible enough to bring goodies your way.

Handwriting should be made a course for medical students throughout their stay in the universities

most Docs have good H*writings, but they are due 2 negligence, load of patients to attend and repetitive prescriptions
