The earlier you realise some certain things, the better it is for you especially to the youth in this present age. Getting the opportunity to build your future actually start from now and once it is not built in a very standard way, there will surely be problem which can also take a while before it gets a solution.
There should be some reason why i started with this and now facing the youth of this generation, i wanted to speak directly to them because i am also a youth and the main concern is that i am currently doing my national youth service corp which is compulsory for every graduate of any tertiary institution to do because no matter how you want to escape it, one will surely need the certificate for work.
Now let’s start from the beginning because most of the post here i am the example for others and i ought to belief many will surely see this as an eye opener for them incase they are still contemplating on what to do and decisions to take. After graduating from school 2024, i waited for a year just to learn a digital skill which is frontend and after getting the certificate i decided to register for NYSC. The real deal here is where i will be posted because if i am posted to a very far state i will surely have to pend all what i am trying to learn or do because currently i am learning video editing here.

So i was keeping some amount of money just to get an apartment but the fun part of the story was that i had to take part of it to pay for my direct posting which is going to help me serve in any state of my choice and i literally picked a state closer to where i schooled and after going for the 3 weeks camp i still have to pay another money because I don’t want to teach in a school so it won’t disturb my learning again and i had to remove another money from my earning to settle that. It was not an easy decision for me but i had to do that because if I don’t i will surely be posted to a far away state where I will need to start all over again.
My colleague posted to a far state have started complaining because they can’t figure out life during that period of one year, except you are planning on staying in that state after the period of one year service. Some tried relocation which later failed and they don’t have a choice than to wait. Which is why there are some sacrifices you have to make even though they might not be convenient at that moment but this is just to save the problem that might await in the future.
I had to think back to the first month of the year when i took the decision and currently i am using the fifth month in the state that i preferred. The sacrifice i made in the aspect of money actually paid me and i am the one enjoying the benefits alone.
Take some steps and you will know if it favours or not because this life is actually a risk. Without risk you cannot have a success story.
