My story eeh! I'm still struggling

KristaPretty:
It's not too late. Still in my 20s tho, I intend to still change, realign, redo and live life the best way I can. Age for me is only a number. You can still do whatever you intend to, afterall most big names like KFC started when the owner was over 50years old.

Growing up, I always wanted to be in the medical field. Countless exams and post utme without failing, yet I never got the admission for a course of my choice.

I had to apply for anyone. Studied a given course just for study sake. After that, I went back to school for another degree due to the nature of my job and to align, I'm done.

I haven't had peace of mind since then, the urge and fire to still get what I have always dreamed of (the medical field) is stil there. Irrespective of how far I have gone, I see myself going back to get what I always wished for, that I will do shortly. Others might consider other certificates wasted but It is an experience.
There is joy doing what you love. Until then, you would feel wasted at a point.

StarOnEarth:

Still in your 20s?

buttlover:
yes

StarOnEarth:

I have a friend just like you too
He wanted to study medicine in OAU but he was giving botany. After almost 6years in OAU due to strike and all he later graduated.
This guy had to go to Unilag again to start medicine from scratch. It takes gutz, he is in 4th year now, but i must tell you it has not been easy for the dude.

KristaPretty:

It won't be easy at all, when he graduates he will feel most happy and fulfilled when practicing because there lies his passion.

I won't look at age to make my dreams come true, it's like living a lie.

In my mid 20s too.....
Not easy at all after graduating from skul, served the nation and end up back to my parents house without a job, every day i just keeps worrying my self about how everything was so frustrating.....one night i was just lying on my bed thinking about everything, things like how to make money for my self (productivity). Skills poped up to my mind that night, I was like woow....so what skills? I don't know! I searched online to see top skills and how much they earn after learning, so Programming/Web designer that midnight, showed interest to learn fast and sell my self with it, but I don't have a laptop. I had lied to my parents that have gotten a job in an IT firm that they won't pay untill after 6months, that the pay is 140k, they were so happy. I did this so i could afford to get laptop to start learning, so i told them i can't start work without laptop, it is their num 1 criteria, told my dad to borrow me the money that i will return it back...... luckily for me he did, went to computer village and bought the laptop. I will leave home around 9am go to one bet9a shop with my laptop till 2pm and start coming home just to pretend as if i am going to work Monday to friday. At the bet9ja shop while others are arguing about soccer and spoilt tickets i will be busy learning coding and charging at the same time, at times i will feel like crying, I did this for like 2months till i lost interest in coding, I moved to graphics.....was very easy for me to learn and not boring to me unlike that Programming, fast forwarded to March..... I'm now an elite graphics designer now working for a firm with a pay of over 100k, and that March made it exactly of the 6months i lied to my parents.... leaving my parent house this month, nothing to worried about again, if u are in your 20s u can learn from this. Pray to God, Know what u wants, Learn a skill..... with this u won't suffer by the time u clock 30s....Shalom!

Hoephase:
Make my first millions in my 20s though was very determined then with lots of responsibilities: raising siblings putting food roof on/over parents table/head.

I suffered while in uni almost claiming vegetarian because I can afford to buy food and meat. Will drink garri in the morning and lie to my friend that I had cereal before coming class. .


It was not easy, to every young blood out there the truth that no one will ever tell you is that is it not easy but that doesn't mean you should give up. Don't keep pushing if you have to learn skill do and you will never regret it.

Life in general isn't easy but notwithstanding we will make the best out of it.

O boy e don te wey I don begin blow other people in my own small way ooh.

The millionaires club have arrived, they will tell you they made millions of dollars but they won't tell you how they did it.
