This lost opportunity that slipped my hand wasn't actually my decision to make, I had made mine and it was left in the hands of my parents to but the outcome was totally something I didn't expect which made that opportunity go away, I would love to pick up the remaining lines of this story so just stay with me.
Back then when I was still hustling before I got admission, the whole center of my hustling was to save up for my school so as I was working in the market I was also looking for other job opportunities outside the market that pays better than my current earnings, so I had to tell people in different places to notify me when opportunities show itself and then this mouthwatering vacancy came up but the thing was that it wasn't in my state, it actually required me to travel to another state and work there.
The pay was three times more than my current job and I wasn't going to worry about accomodations or feeding because it was taken care of, but as I brought the news back waiting for their verification but what I got was that I wasn't going to go anywhere, at that moment I just felt like hitting my head on the wall and cry out my lungs, I just felt it within right from the beginning that they would do such a thing but even with that feeling I was hoping it would be different.
So I had to forfeit that opening and stay back collecting the peanuts I was collecting and mind you the peanuts I was collecting wasn't summing up to anything tangible for school because I wasn't only saving I was also spending out of it, I ended up not having any savings for school which made me regret not going for that opportunity. The lessons here are for my parents because they knew how it became a struggle when I was preparing for school and I also seized the opportunity to remind them that if I had gone for that job it would have been lots more better.
Whenever an opportunity brings itself like this again I would definitely try to convince and if possible do stubborn head to go for such opportunities, well they may have their own reasons for not wanting me to go there but what's life without risk?.
That question is left for you to argue with your keyboard, see you next time 😘.
