Education, has that one key to unlocks many doors, that is an undeniable fact...
We have come this far as a universe and time has evolved in a number of ways so much that, nation building relies on both formal and informal sectors for growth.
Formal education right from the learning of the alphabets and numbers, to solving complex calculus's and all the brain-racking equations, took us a step closer to in-depth knowledge.
Well, there are some functions also learnt that actually confused the brains in my head that I had no idea how they would be applied in real life cases, smiles.
The point in all of this is, education is a vital tool in the world today. Formal sectors such as government, finance, health among others, cannot be achieved without education.
Even agriculture, which once used to have 100% informal components now with education, can be considered formal to some extent.
BUT...
One thing I wished education had prepared me for was adulthood. To me adulthood, should have been treated as a full course in school; "A Peek Into Adulthood", "Know Adulthood Before You Become An Adult", "Enjoy Your Childhood Days Before Adulting", "Don't Grow Up, Adulthood is Not Your Friend"
I mean there is a list of ideas for the subjects I can come up with. Maybe I am going nuts with my wishful thinking😄😄😄
I wished as a kid to become an adult so much I would have forwarded time to meet it if it was possible. I woke up one day right where I wanted to be, an adult.
Interesting twist of events, now that am here, I am wishing for a time machine that I can only see in fantasy movies, to go back to being a kid and enjoy childhood one more time.
The first rule to adulthood is decision making. Although it sounds very smooth on the lips, decision making becomes an everyday expectation where one has to make decisive choices out of the many, and it can be challenging sometimes. Taking one false step about decision making can either make or unmake a person.
Responsibility follows suit with decision making. You have to work and earn you own money, pay you own bills, be responsible and accountable for your own self and yes, one day, you will also becomes a parent to some innocent kids and be response for them their whole life!
There are days you wake up with pains that cannot be felt physically but rather emotionally. I could go on and on and on about this but let me end it here.
I wish education had emotionally prepared me for the realities that comes with adulthood because adulthood, is harrrrd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
