You know when they say “in life, you just have to take risk, because it is a risk not to take risk” well, I think and believe that sometimes, risk taking is quite compulsory at some point in life, it basically helps to build and boost confidence, helps to build and boost capacity, helps to stretch your limit, it sometimes makes you see something new, discover maybe a hidden talent or capacity that you have in store.

Living it self is a kind of risk on its own, cause we are just moving without directions, hoping that our plans comes to reality while putting necessary and unnecessary effort into life itself for a better tomorrow.

I know I have tried out different risks, but I feel like one of the craziest risks that we all have taken is deciding to be a student in the university, I mean having the hope that you’ll create something in the future with your life and with what you are learning or studying in school, to me, that’s an under appropriated risk.

I call it a risk because sometimes we don it end up doing what we studied but those that still further to get the exact thing they have been studying is a very crazy risk to me, cause you actually do not know the future but you are fighting with all you have to get it. In another sentence “I salute you guys”.

Talking about education, I just started my ND (National Diploma) how i started it was definitely by Gods grace and a great risk that some people I knew in the same category couldn’t take…

Let me give you full gist of my most recent risks…

This time last year, I was geared to process my education, so first of all, this is something that I had almost no interest in right from after secondary school that I concluded about 4-5 years ago, but it felt like this was a good opportunity to try because someone was willing to connect me with someone that can help me process this schooling.

I decided to take the chance, I took some steps forward, my father was not really in support of my decision because as much as he wanted me to go to school, he also wanted me to do it the traditional way, i mean writing JAMB and Post UTME. Anyways I already made up my mind to go ahead.

It was supposed to be a part time system of education, but it was changed to online/distance learning which made my father even more concerned because he didn’t want me to fall under wrong hands or scammers.

Fast forward to the ending of the year, I didn’t hear anything from the guy who was helping me for months till December when I decided to call him. His response was where have I been? And in my head I’m like (no be you I give money? No be you suppose give me update?) I was damned to know that a semester had almost finished, they were already writing exams.

I was just going to cry, I was like so I have wasted these amount of money on trial and error, what will my daddy say? Then this guy said can I come to school then next day to pay for school fees and register my courses and with all epitome of faith in me I went to the school.

It guy to my notice that they were starting the exam on Monday which was when I went to school to pay for school feels and course registration but it took me 3 days ti do it, so automatically I already had 3 Carryovers, I was heartbroken but I said I was still going to do this and yeah I went on to do the exams.

I didn’t really do well, but I saw that I didn’t really read but didn’t get any carry over in any of the courses I sat for, so if I had sat for the ones I didn’t, my CGPA would be higher than what it is.

That risk showed me that I wasn’t as stupid as I was.

Now I am in my ND 2 and I am going to gave the courses I didn’t and I know I’ll do way better because I’ll put my mind to it.

Risks will only show you how much better you can can get. All you need to do is keep pushing till you get what you need and or want.
