Education is good but it’s not solely defined by School attendance. Who one becomes in life is not determined by what school teachers teach or what the school system sets up. Everyone has a potential and special abilities. I have come to realise that the most successful people in life did not only attend school, they maximized their potentials. School is good but one must not allow it restrict one’s mind to only the things taught there and thereby not discovering the special abilities and potentials that one is naturally endowed with.
Schooling for me from the start was amazing. My teachers liked me so much. I enjoyed attention from even the head of the School. I am smart, intelligent and godly which I think was why most people liked me. I got so used to School system that I didn't pay attention to anything else outside school. I always wanted to enjoy the attention I got from students and teachers.
As I journeyed on in life particularly at my last phase in the college, I discovered I had more potentials on the inside of me beyond what school taught me. I learnt a lot in School really but I was never trained to be me instead we were taught to strive to be like some great people we read about. I am me, second to none. That's the way I think everyone has been created. Even the likes of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein who were the ones we were taught to be like, stood out on their own. They were unique in their achievements. If not, no one will remember them not to talk of making them a perfect example.
I was trained as a Pharmacist from School but naturally I could be a great singer, a business genius, a fashion designer and also a good teacher. Whenever I attempted to do anything outside my school training, I looked unserious to my colleagues and even my lecturers. I needed to be me. They didn't get that. I needed to maximize the potentials on the inside of me. I cannot fail being me. I can only grow. The school system helped me a lot no doubt. But it couldn't discover all about me.
