What to talk about today. Ah. My school life.
Fitting in wasn't easy for an 'introvert' like myself, and being that we were only allowed to dress corporate or go home. The school was downright screwed and whats more they believe that they can become one of the top ten (10) Universities in the World in 10 years. Anyhow that's their stupidity.
A lot of things happened when I was there though. I resumed Gaming and Anime. I had this dude on my floor, Alex, he watched, and had, A LOT of anime. At the time I was only watching Naruto. And I had a really fat really strong roommate and his name was Daniel. He was the 'importer' (if you will) of our games. My laptop wasn't that bad so I managed to play games like Devil May Cry, Call Of Duty and FIFA 14. Not to impressive and not too disappointing.
First semester was really fun and interesting all through but when second semester came it was the end game. A friend of mine got an MSI prestige, I was the primary user (since I wouldn't allow anyone else to use it even WITH his consent). As fate would have it, Daniel, my first semester roommate, was in the same room with my friend.
Second semester, my Aunt sent me a message on Facebook stating that the amount of money my dad spends is huge and that I'd better bring back results because if her sister (my mother), got a heart attack and or high blood pressure and died, their branch of the family would blame ME. And thus, this human became DEPRESSED and that, my friends is what started this whole mess. From then on, I couldn't go to class (because I always slept off or got lost in thought) and even if I managed to go to class, the same thing would happen. I couldn't concentrate and always got lost in thought, so I would just go to my friend with the MSI and play games throughout the day and when hall officers shut the power down, I had a tablet, filled with, guess what, Anime and I would keep myself busy. Now don't think my friend with the MSI didn't notice, truth is he kept asking "I hope someone's signs for you in lectures" and I would always say "yes". Truth is we were all tired of that school, and I attempted to leave along with one other guy (the reason my friend with the MSI was staying in that room, with Daniel). The two of them checked out some schools in Ghana but it didn't work out. And I didn't bother because of one simple reason.
A flat tire. Yes a flat tire. If I were to relate the current situation of my people to a car, I would say that they have flat tire (all four). If solving a problem is first acknowledging there is a problem, then, I have a problem. And at the time (2016) when I wanted to take a break from school and reevaluate myself, my only flat tire was I didn't have my own money. But now, now I have two flat tires. I'm flat broke (the total amount of money I have in both my accounts is less that $2) and I don't have any resources. I am opening my own doors.
Looking at everyone around me as a car and putting it simply, I concluded that the reason they make no progress is because they had flat tires in the past but ignorance took over till they all all four tires flat and destroyed. And now they still try to drive using four destroyed flat tires. I for one want to address my flat tires but I also need to do so on the go. So what's my solution? I transformed my car into a two wheel bike and am carefully proceeding with the remaining parts. So that when I reach a garage (which, in this case means, "when I get a little cash"), I will stop and put my car back together and make even better than ever before.
Day 3... I want to talk about "future"... the sentiment that you going to school automatically means you have "secured" a "bright" future.
Thank you for reading.
