Yess oooh we don arrive and we full ground so just be expecting premium package every week from us as we blend with all these great minds here so permit me to do the honours, I go by the name Grace and this is my first time posting in this community and am so excited that 2026 brought you my way and for today I would be discussing on the contest topic which says what did you let go that you are happy about?
Thinking about it now I have let go of a few things in the past year which are letting go of the university of my choice to a totally different university that I never thought of, to letting go of a friendship, to letting go of my ego not because I was wrong but because I wanted to be the big person and many more things, each and every one of them cut me deep that I thought I couldn't live without at first but as time goes on unconsciously I lived without them in existence.
The most significant thing I let go of which strike a cord was the change in my choice of university, I initially had in mind university of Ibadan (UI) as my only choice that is if jamb form only carried just one institutional option so I put all my hopes there, I had already started entering into dream lands on what the university looked like, on how my lecture halls would be and on how I would be leaving my life there really far away from home, I honestly had built much on a university I had only applied for in jamb but I knew how high standard it is to get in there and how grinded every student passing out there use to be so I wanted to be the best that's why I picked UI.
I just planned at my end never thinking about what faith was planning for me only for my hopes, dreams and aspiration to get dashed but changing of institution, things had not worked out as planned so I had to change my choice else I add extra year to my staying at home, at that point letting go of that university was never a great choice to me, it was like God was punishing me for something I did to Him, but looking at it now with a clearer eyes am grateful I never let go because I also see bigger visions here in my current school and if I would be given another chance, though picking UI is so salivating and tempting I would still go for FCEP because I am now convinced God wants me where I am.
Omoh the only push for me to had let go of that university was the thought of me staying at home for an extra year since UI didn't work out so what I use to encourage myself was "school na school" so that's how I found myself here. If you have ever been in such dilemma please share with us what your experience looked like, was it worse than mine or was it an easy decision to make?
Thank you all for stopping by and I do hope to get my warm welcome though 🥰, see you next time.
