"WHAT I DID BEFORE I GOT ADMITTED INTO THE UNIVERSITY!" (A TRUE-LIFE EXPERIENCE OF UNIZIK GRADUATE)
This is a true-life experience/story of a male Graduate of UNIZIK; in this story, he detailed his challenges before gaining admission into tertiary institution...
He writes below:
It
would be foolish of the wise me enjoining you to be courageous,
optimistic, and undaunted without unveiling to you my own challenges,
experiences, and solutions to my conundrums.
I
did not make up my mind writing this true-life story either to earn
your comments or your likes, but to encourage you (aspirants).
Please,
read with an open mind and try to grab something didactic from this
synopsis. I articulated this piece in such a way that even a lowbrow can
comprehend it.
Maybe
you have come across any of my true-life stories or not, by the the
mercy of God I was one of the best students of my set in my secondary
school days.
My
name is Chukwunonso Emmanuel Asiegbu (popularly and jocularly known as
NDJP: The Inspirational Parrot and The Motivational Pilot-1), a graduate
of Applied Biochemistry, Nnamdi Azikiwe University (UNIZIK), Awka
Campus, Anambra State, Nigeria.
I
attended the great Nnamdi Azikiwe Secondary School Abagana (NASSA). I
left secondary school in 2010, but got admission into the university in
2013.
My
dear, not that I wasn't intelligent nor diligent, but at times our poor
performance and ill-lucks when it comes to admissions are spiritual (or
rather psychical) than mental -it only takes the true Spirit of God to
fathom what I'm really expatiating.
I
made good grades in WAEC [A's and B's], but wrong decisions when it
came to choosing choice of departments were one of the problems I think I
had. I did not just read my books, I study them (hope you know the
dichotomy); in fact I swot.
I
was even a tutor in a tutorial center, even my students were thinking
that I was already a graduate because I taught them with passion owing
to the fact that I have a calling in teaching albeit I tried to dodge
from it beforehand but God refused.
I
was not teaching because of money -I even refused to handle some other
subjects given to me so as to make sure I gave in my best.
I
taught others, they sat for examinations, passed and got admitted:
imagine how you would be feeling if you were in my shoes then; yet, I
remain humble and patient.
All
through the earlier times I sat for JAMB, I did put wrong courses: I
was able to discover this in the early period of 2013 before registering
and sitting for JAMB only through the paranormal Grace of Almighty God.
In
the previous registration, my spirit was telling me to put
Biochemistry, but I turned deaf ears to that. Upon all my efforts, yet I
didn't make it to university in 2011 and 2012.
I
was really living a shallow Christian life, some people won't
understand what I am talking about, because even some in universities
already couldn't grab what I really meant.
Anyway,
in 2012, I went for Microbiology, unfortunately for me, a lot of
candidates chose it and that made the cutoff mark to increase, and I
couldn't make it; still my students were making it.
Even
those I was better than in Secondary school were already in 2nd or 3rd
year. But, Chinonso still remained optimistic; though I was hoping in
God, but did not realize the appraisal of God thenb in the journey of my
destiny.
God
was still with me; even though I was living in ignorance of some facts
about Him, He did not leave me in the lurch: I said so because it was
those years I was at home that I realized my flairs in motivational
writing.
To
cut the story short; in 2013, I vehemently decided to go for this
Biochemistry my spirit communed to my mind. I registered and started the
preparation.
By
then I have known/realized the essence of God in unleashing my destiny
[my dear, people's destinies ain't the same; for instance: a guy may be
using manifold girls without protection, yet he won't contract STDs nor
impregnate any; but another lad may just do the same once, and
calamities would pile up on him].
That
is why you need to sit yourself down and think about the mysteries
surrounding both your miseries, histories and victories. Every life has
mysteries surrounding it.
My
dear friends, in that same year, my first girlfriend left me after
three years of our lovely affair owing to distance barrier which her
excuse to have the relationship dissolved.
I
am not saying categorically that her leaving me helped me to gain
admission, though that made me to think much/better about my own life
and my future at least.
I
know then, many would not believe I had a girlfriend; anyway, such is
life. It was during that time that I discovered The Chapel [The Dwelling
Sanctuary Of The Blessed Sacrament].
I
always went there for meditation even up till today, and I realized
that there was at least a positive difference in my life each time I
visited there; all serious preparations been constant.
Finally, I made up made up my mind with phenomenal faith to embark on 21-day consecutive visitations
to Blessed Sacrament (the condition been that if I missed any day, I
would start afresh and I was to use the first 21 Chapters of The Book of
Psalms, that is from Psalms 1 to 21, each Chapter for each day).
It
was not easy! To tell you the truth, I started afresh for about two
times if I still remembered very well; even one of the occasions was
when I had gone half of the 21 days.
But
I did not give up because my faith was high, it was a task I gave
myself -FOR SOMEONE TO BE AMONG THE GREATEST, HE MUST HAVE TO PASS EVERY
GREAT TEST: that is one of my credence/philosophies.
To
the Glory of God, I completed it and my life took a new conformation,
many inhibitors unbound, activators of progress cleave to their
allosteric sites.
In
fact, many active sites of better living were restored in my life -a
denatured life became renatured; a defiled destiny was refined; a vile
life was made fine. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD.
Then,
I was even thinking that the utmost happiness comes from loved ones,
but I realized it comes only from God. Also, my siblings joined hands in
praying for me for success in my admission -it wasn't a one-person
battle: it was a concerted effort.
I
sat for JAMB, it came out and I made 226, no hope was lost. Time for
POST-UTME came, I wrote and made 66 (my aggregate been 245). I was
riffle with fears, but my utmost hope and trust were outright in God.
If
God did it for others, He will surely do it for me. My dear, ADMISSION
LIST came out, behold, I was admitted through FIRST BATCH.
You
see, your INTELLIGENCE alone ain't ample to manifest your EXCELLENCE,
you need DILIGENCE, COMPETENCE, CONFIDENCE, PATIENCE, PERSISTENCE,
EXPERIENCE, GOD'S WISDOM, inter alia.
Whenever I call on GOD, He answers and hearkens to my pleas so long I have amended where/what I've done Him wrong.
Today,
I have graduated from the department of Applied Biochemistry and I have
achieved two most important things I promised myself and having put
them into God's hands, they came to manifestation.
The
story of my own experiences as an undergraduate going to come. I only
gave you the preamble; the real story is in store because God fulfilled
every promise/prophecies He made to me.
Whenever I kneel down and prayed God for something with a remorseful heart, He won't fail to answer me out His abundant mercy.
In
synopsis, all I did may not be all you should do so as to succeed; you
may need to do more than or less than I did; it is depending on your
destiny and the mysteries controlling your own life.

One
of my quotes says: "ERRORS OF YOUR PAST IF NOT [PROPERLY] CORRECTED
WILL BECOME THE TERRORS OF YOUR PRESENT; AND IF STILL NOT AMENDED WILL
TURN TO BE THE HORRORS OF YOUR FUTURE.
My
dear friend, for your future to be bright, you need God's might, and
you should endeavour to do aright things that are right. I
know I couldn't include some other things in attempt to make this story
snappy and precise, but I believe that every bit of information on this
piece is substantial.
NOTE:
I first wrote this story on 28th of September, 2015; started writing
this piece around 12:50 AM. Decided to proofread and update it once
again.
BELOW ARE SOME SAYINGS THAT CAN PREVENT YOU FROM STRAYING AWAY FROM THE RIGHT PATHS OF YOUR DESTINY:
THERE
CAN'T BE POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT WITHOUT BETTER IMPROVEMENT, AND THERE
CAN'T BE BETTER IMPROVEMENT WITHOUT CREATIVITY, SAGACITY AND ABOVE ALL
GOD-ALMIGHTY! NDJP
TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE GREATER AND BETTER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH AND WORK TOWARDS ACHIEVING THEIR GOOD GOALS. NDJP
NO
DEVELOPMENT HAD EVER COME TO FRUITION WITHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT. BE
COURAGEOUS: COURAGE CAN ONLY COME FROM THOSE WHO CARE FOR YOUR SUCCESS;
READ AND LISTEN TO ANYTHING THAT CAN SURGE YOUR COURAGE. -NDJP
THE
WELL OF KNOWLEDGE NEVER RUNS DRY AND THE DRUM OF KNOWLEDGE NEVER GETS
FILLED UP TO THE BRIM BECAUSE IT'S BOTTOMLESS; AN IGNORAMUS FETCHES
KNOWLEDGE WITH A BASKET.
I SAY TO YOU: THERE IS NO DEVELOPMENT OR IMPROVEMENT WITHOUT ENCOURAGEMENT.
THOSE
WHO LACK OR MISUSE THEIR WISDOM LACK PSYCHICAL FREEDOM, THEY’RE UNDER
PSYCHICAL BOREDOM, THEY ARE LIKE SLAVES IN THEIR OWN KINGDOM.
NEVER LET YOUR MIND TO BE IN DEARTH OF MOTIVATION AND INSPIRATION, BECAUSE THAT CAN CAUSE THE DEATH OF YOUR MINDSETS!
WITHOUT APT MOTIVATION; WITHOUT AMPLE DETERMINATION, THOSE CHALLENGES OF YOURS WILL HAVE NO TERMINATION.
CONFUSION leads to LAMENTATION and LAMENTATION causes more CONFUSION and as well worsens one's prevailing harsh CONDITIONS.
CREATIVITY,
SAGACITY, AND GOD ALMIGHTY, NAY MORE, EVERY OTHER GOOD QUALITY, ARE
NEEDED BY EVERY PERSONALITY WHO WORKS TOWARDS ACHIEVING 'IDEALITY'.
I
MUST ALWAYS SAY THAT "THINKING PENSIVELY AND POSITIVELY HELPED ME TO BE
WHO I AM TODAY; IF NOT THROUGH WISE COGITATION, I WOULD NOT HAVE
DISCOVERED AND UNCOVERED A LOT OF THINGS IN MY LIFE SO FAR. A MIND THAT
LACKS POSITIVE AND PENSIVE THINKING IS NOTHING BUT A STINKING MIND..."
THANKS, AND GOD BLESS YOU!
