A Moment Of Pride.

Well, I actually have a moment in my life that has stayed with me for long, and it's one I won't f forget in a hurry. It happened that I was sick for sometime and my education had to be on pause, everyone moved, my mates graduated, some in schools and all, while my mates were worrying about reading and getting good grades, I was worried about getting better. It wasn't so much of a good time for me.

Later, when I was improving very well, I decided to go back to school, and slowly but definitely, I began to move. Even still, I still had things to worry about beyond just academics, which still includes this health of mine, so, I was literally juggling both together. There are times I miss tests, some group projects I couldn't attend and some other things, which as well include the various fun of schools, I couldn't really participate in it all. And the reason is cause sometimes I won't be feeling my best during those times, and also, I can't afford to risk my health at the expense of fun and all.

I saw people that we gained admission at the same time graduate whereas I'm still lagging behind, I would see my various friends turn alumni, corpers and all, in as much as I am happy for them, I also feel and counted the year's I had lost and all, even still I kept going and refused to give up. And to be honest, it wasn't easy.

Now, the moment is not a dramatic one, but it was everything to me. It was the moment our graduation list came out. Omo, I saw my name and stared at it for a very long time. Like, I was just there staring at it and tears dropped from my eyes, I felt like holding it in my hand and not letting it go, I even joked about using that particular place my name is to make a frame. Those around me just laughed, but I know better. It wasn't easy, aside all of the school stress that they might think was the reason, they didn't know I still had things I was battling with during those times.

And when I finally got my certificate in hand, I appreciated myself and appreciated it. And that was the moment that really mattered.
