The Life Of A Dopout: Day 6

Siblings, the weak point of any older brother and or sister. No matter how much they annoy you, betray you and whatever else they could do to you, you still forgive them. (although there are a few things that I personally cannot and or will not forgive, particularly, Betrayal).
So today I will tell you about the reaction my siblings had and the way their current treatment towards me.
I am the first of four (through my mother), after me comes H (a seventeen year old girl), followed by M (a soon to be ten year old boy) and then finally S (a five year old girl). I am Nineteen today (June 17).
So, the reaction of of H, the eldest of my younger ones was quite annoying. She was the primary course of all the malice my Father showed towards me. ANY story she fabricated and told my dad, he would believe (without caring about what I had to say), which in turn made me more distant than I already was. And it still happens till date.
Any who, she kept bearing about theush when I asked her some questions. I honestly wanted to tell her my reasons for doing what I am doing (which is trying to succeed) but she's
A snitch
On my parents side (which was to expected)
Where I come from, the normal mentality is, it is you who owes your parents for giving birth to you and taking care of you (which is what most people believe), but indeed, they wanted children and they are the ones trying to discard their responsibility while using disobedience as their primary excuse.
Now, my younger brother isn't really the brightest of people and it's probably because nobody wants to help him find his interest (and I for one believe in self discovery, thus, unless he needs me, I don't want to be his forceful brother, making him do things he might not want to do). I'm sure her knows what is going on but, he for one, hasn't really cared.
My last sister S, on the other hand is the incarnation of H when she was a kid. Annoyingly so, you cannot correct her. My parents want to bring the heat on me and they let the two younger ones degrade to being disrespectful little pieces of shit.
And the worst part is that; since they cannot get to me, they use my younger ones as pawns to try and get me to do their bidding. Claiming "this is the path". I would rather make y own path than follow the same path that led to miserable, grumpy people.
I for one, have considered my own probable failure and I am completely prepared for it. But, I cannot fail now. This is the most challenging feat in my life and I intend to make a hole in the wall where there is no door.
Maybe I'm drunk on anger and whatever. But one thing for sure... I will prove them wrong.
Thank you for reading.

Bonds

Welcome back. Thank you for reading my constant ramblings till date (even if this is your first time on my blog). But do read other posts. Today I want to talk about Bonds. What bonds are and which one in particular I am talking about. Well if you have read this blog for long, you would know that I'm talking about the bonds between people. Well, you might have heard: "United we stand, divided we fall" and what not and that is exactly what I'll be tackling today, so hang in there. But first I want to try to categorize bonds or at least summarize (which is impossible). Bonds forged over time. The most common among all of us. The major reason why your mother is your mother (yes, it's true). I would also say, in my personal experience that it is the most frail (especially if you don't know anything about that person even after spending years together). "You've know you parents all you life but they know you for only a short" so you should know as...

The Life Of A Dropout: Day 3

Ah, the future. One of mans greatest desires. To see and or peer into the future (probably to see what is in store for them or what nonsense they have brought upon us). Today I will be telling about one of the tremendously annoying sentiments very common in my "people", in your "people" and ultimately in "society". And that my friends is the sentiment that "Your future is secured if you've gone to school. Now I do understand that not every atmosphere has the same view about "dropping out". But where I come from, it's a big deal. People go to school to satisfy society and in the end society doesn't satisfy them. The mere thought of studying continuously for years (even with a good result) only for you to graduate and reach another hurdle. Job seeking. Honestly speaking, if I didn't know of so many people that made it with blogging and or E-commerce, I probably also wouldn't try. And that is exactly the situation. Everyon...

The Life Of A Dropout: Day 1

History Being a dropout. Depending on your atmosphere and the type of people you have around you can be the worst thing. So what is the cause of people "dropping out" of school and why do people see it as such an intense taboo? Well for me. I'm from a third world country (Nigeria) and to me, trying to better your "future" by school ALONE is ridiculous and I will tell you why in a minute. Most people dropout for whatever reason and it might be similar to my reasons but do not be mistaken. I do intend to resume school but at a later date. First I want to tell you about my atmosphere. In Nigeria (and every other society) most people are absorbed in the general stereotypes. In Nigeria, so far as you have a certificate, it doesn't matter if your jobless and broke. People go to school without knowing why they go to school and at the end are unworthy of their certificate. Plus they can't even solve a simple problem. People are too ignorant to bring about an...
