THE JOURNEY OF LIFE


 *THE SCHOOL JOURNEY 1* 

 *Episode 24* 

Tolani introduced herself to her bunk mate, as she climbed the bunk to stay on her bed. Tara was given Pharmacology, a gentle Lady and always on her own. She loved her privacy so much, as she and Tolani hardly had time for each other.

She was a Muslim by birth but she claimed to be a Christian, as she attended a Christian secondary school which increased her knowledge about Christ. How they started talking to each other, was a miracle. Tolani and Tara became close as they attended lectures together and they understood each other. Though she was older than her but, it was not obvious as they relate with each other without minding the age differences.

100 levels was stressful due to the registration processes, trekking from the hostel to the lecture room under the hot sun, waking up early to sit at the front row but, it was the best level ever because of the allowance and foodstuffs her parents always send without requesting for them. 

She could buy anything she wanted and also gave out her foodstuffs sometimes, to the less privileged. Every course she offered for both semesters were advanced secondary school subjects, just a slight difference with the GNS courses. The Examination period, was one of the most strenuous time as she had to read well to build her G.P.

The exam result came out, and she was scared to check her results as she asked Tara to help her. You had Cs and Bs, Tara told her.

Her facial expression changed and Tara asked her What happened?

"Why Cs and Bs, where are the As. Those questions were too simple and I expected more than that" Tolani said as she looked at Tara whose eyes were filled with tears.

"What happened? How was your result? She asked her, out of sympathy as she came down from her bed. Instead of replying her, she busted into tears.                  
                                                                                   
She wiped her tears and said "I had Cs and Bs, struggling to hold her tears as Tolani said "Wow, we had similar result without allowing her to finish her statement but Tara continued but, I had F in Physics. I don't understand, we read together. Why is my own different?

"What! How can that happen? Tolani said as she consoled her. Part of her was grateful for her results as she prayed to God to help her.

In the midnight, Tolani just ended her call with Ayomide, as she had been busy during the day but the sound of someone crying, distracted her from sleeping. She searched around, only to find out it was Tara. She came down from the bunk to her.

"Why are you doing this to yourself? You know, there is nobody to complain too, only God can help. Crying would only cause more harm, you will have to read more and I pray God help us" she said.

Tara nodded her head as she cleaned her tears, with her cloth and they slept together. Tara woke up with swollen eyes and everyone kept asking her what happened? She dressed up to attend the orientation class. 

Few days after, they were given time to vacate the hostel. Tolani, called her parents to inform them and they promised to pick her the next day. She wished she could stop going home, because of the peace she experienced in school but she does not have a choice.

The next day, her parents arrived early because of the journey ahead. Tolani introduced Tara to them and they loved her. They loved her gentleness and calmness.

Tara assisted in carrying her bags, into the car as she was also expecting her parents. She waved them as they zoomed off.
Tolani's sisters were happy to see her, as they hugged her and helped her with her luggages.

"How was school? Mrs Alabi asked as they got inside the house.

"Fine ma" she replied.

"How are your results? Mr Alabi asked as she replied slowly as her heart beat increased "Good sir".

Stay with me as we journey together.

DON'T BE FRUSTRATED

Many at times, you don't look like what you are going through  Because you have tried the mastery skills of hiding and managing situations and have gotten used to it  Many at times, you wonder why people who has done the worst things ever, still get more favour than you doing the right thing  Many at times, Guys has played you even the believers and you kept wondering if the fault is from you because you are not just getting it right in relationships  Sometimes, you always try to understand the situation but the truth is, you are tired of it and most time you find it hard to let go and forget the situation. Sometimes, you just want to follow the crowd but you realize in between that you got lost and can't just proceed with the plan.. I know things can be difficult  I know many people or various things are frustrating  I know it's not easy living in circles with no progression I know you have plans but it just doesn't go the right way  So dear sisters, ...

THE JOURNEY

Last 2 year, I started a journey on my health and I'm grateful. Even though I wasn't consistent especially after the coaching session but I had to strive to ensure the journey continues even though I fall, I still get myself back  Imagine being a lover of heels and you can't wear it for too long Having to sweat profusely, Having knee ache pains, Sewing new dresses because you can't wear your favorite dress Imagine lot's more because of weight gain, That was me.. Before you go further and think it's only food that cause weight gain.  Mine wasn't, I could say it was stay at home, free hands and no stress kind of reason (I don't know how best to put it) I know I'm not a slim person but I was already weighing 110kg. Lolz, 2 bags of cement. Then I told myself Temilade, it has to change  I found the solution DIET, It was at the point where I realized I couldn't be myself and also seeing changes, I decided to take my health serious  I subscribed to a di...

A DAILY REMINDER

I know you are going through all shades of different phase, I know you are thinking of what next, I know the hardship is tough and you feel your strength is failing but, This is a reminder To relax, To not get angry over small things, To stay calm. A daily reminder To be yourself, To not care what people think, To know you can be anything. To love yourself, To not hurt yourself, To not work yourself up. This is a daily reminder That you are beautiful, That you can be hardworking  That you are amazing, That you will succeed. To always have hope, To have faith, To know everything will be okay. A daily reminder That you have made it so far already, That you haven't given up, And you are going to be amazing. Don't give up. Keep holding on and believing.  It's a start of a new year and it's too early to feel pressured or insecure God cannot fail you, Be persist in that Job hunt Be persist in trusting God  Be expectant, don't loose guard  Everything will fall in place...
