TRIALS OF LIFE (NEVER GIVE UP)

Life on its own is not a bed of roses and there are many ups and downs in life. Sometimes a lot of people are going through different struggles that they don’t tell anybody about, financial crises, unemployment, family issues, work related issues, economic issues and so many others.

When life hits hard what do you do. Are one to give up and let life decide your fate or are one of those who will stand strong and face it heads on without backing down. Well backing down is never an option because you should never let life pull you down no matter what comes your way.
I have confronted the trials of life in so many ways, but one experience stands out and it is the death of my dad and my sister.

My dad died the same years I got into the university, and it made life hard for me, dad was my best friend and the best father ever he was always available anytime I need him to be available to provide my financial needs in school and provide for the family at large and he loved his family so much.

Dad died in November 2017 and as a student who was in medical school it was a tough one for me to focus on school and settle some of my bills. I struggled a lot trying to cope with my emotions. I cried myself to sleep a lot of times and my friends tried a lot to console me. I was in school when my dad died and that morning my sister called me to break this news of my dads that to me that morning I literally broke down on the road and was carried down to the hostel by my friends.

I was inconsolable that day and I traveled back home to meet my family as we comforted each other. And fast forward to the burial that happened some months later and after that I returned to school I didn’t let the event that happened weigh me down I continued with school with the help of my family and to God be the glory I’m a graduate now. And my only sister passed last year in September of breast cancer, and it hit the whole family really hard, but we are all trying to be strong as the day goes by.

My strategies to cope were being motivated by my family, I knew that I had to make my dad proud and I never stopped believing in myself and my mom has been my strong support and motivation that keeps me going in hard times.

The lessons I have learned from my results so far is that giving up is never an option because if I had given up, I won’t be the woman I am today and I wouldn’t have scaled through school and my appreciation goes out to my family for their relentless support.

And to everyone going through one thing or the other please never give up and keep facing life head strongly.
