Education › Re: Academics And Politics: Can I Combine The Two In The University? by whizqueen(f): 9:54pm On Jun 01, 2016 |
Crispels: Am in a similar shoe with the OP. Kindly read my own story too and advice me on my choice.
I'm a student from the best University in Nigeria. I study History and International Studies. Am in my second year. Presently, am faced with a puzzle. Firstly, am a student politician/unionist/leader. I currently serve as the General Secretary of my Faculty. A position I took as the youngest in the History of my institution. Based on my track records, leadership qualities and innovative ideas, the Students' populace are urging me to test the waters of Students' Union leadership. However, am contemplating pulling out of Campus politics so as to explore other opportunities as an undergraduate. These opportunities includes - Taostmaters international programmes and certificates, debates, conferences, lectures etc. For instance, I will be a delegate at an upcoming United Nations programme. Am a decent 2'1 student, and I thirst to study harder to increase my CGPA that has dwindled as a result of my participation in campus politics. Campus politics consumes lots of money, time and energy. And even when you emerge, it brings about more stress and problems to face.
In terms of money, am okay, I lack no basic needs as am not even into campus politics for money but for the life lessons one learns from it. In terms of connection, am closer to my VC than even some SUG representatives as he loves the ideas I bring on board.
In summary, I want to focus more on my studies and seal my 2'1 . I also want to explore other aspects of international opportunities like Toastmasters international, UN models, conferences, debates , improved scholarship et al.
More so, I already received a certificate of honour from the University authorities for my leadership qualities and contributions.
However, I believe am a born leader, filled with ideas and I evidently can serve the Student populace the best way possible. I see myself as a missing link. What is neeeded.
I can't combine the two, one has to step down for the other.
I plan to proceed to the United States for my postgraduate after my degree in Nigeria.
Your advice?
This happens to be the biggest decision of my life. @the emboldened. You have your answer here. In my opinion, I'd advice you focus on your studies. You seem more passionate about exploring your career so go for it. You've already garnered enough knowledge that will serve for a lifetime in school politics. So try something new.  |

Just imagine  in this hard timestimes  How can you cheat someone off his hard earned money and think you can get away with it?  OP may not recover his money back but the scammer can never know peace. One of the reasons I never do Pay on Delivery Outside Lagos! As a matter of fact you pay in advance even down to the waybill charges. I'd rather have my items unsold for months than take the risk of sending to a fraud. Sorry for your loss OP. Don't worry you'd be rewarded. |
