Good morning everyone, it's so good to be here again participating in another TBT, where cherished and loved moments are shared together, with the hope to attain a level this time I would be presenting to you a graduation ceremony I witnessed so stay tuned.
Out going students recently graduated and some of them were in my compound so I got to witness their whole preparation and I even helped out to make the work easier for them and I must say that experience of finally graduating is something I can't wait to get to, I mean that feeling of accomplishment, excitement, being the spot light of the moment, and so on is so lovely to experience.
We had like a guy and three ladies that were graduating but I could only get the makeup section of two ladies, they hired a makeup artist to come and make them look extra ordinarily beautiful, I mean it cost them but according to them it was a once experience and they would want to treasure that moment.
A day before that day the out going students ( 400 level student ) did the candle night for their mates who they started that journey of acquiring knowledge together but they are no more, they died in the process so that was the reason for that candle night and it was an emotional moment even though I was not there but the story shared about what happened in the candle night almost made me teared up.
Those who are late did not know that they would not make it, infact some of them were also preparing for that graduation ahead of time, some where listing out things they would do in that day but it is so unfortunate that they did not make it so that was mostly all about the candle night, coming back to our graduating student they were all in a sewed cloth actually they belong to different church so it varied but they were all looking amazing.
They ladies made new hairs, did their manicure and pedicure with their make up artist doing those magic on their faces, they were all preparing for the church service that morning, me in the other hand was not fully there watching them prepare, some of us who were not graduating was helping them fix the food that would be used in the occasion taking place later in the day so we were all doing with different cooking experience I must say preparing jollof rice with cabbage, carrot, green beans, cucumber and salad cream.
Its been awhile I was involved in those group cooking of such so the experience was magical, we made the sweetest jollof rice ever. Even to me that was not graduating the experience was an unforgettable one, though for the graduate it might be a bittersweet experience combined with them anticipating the future, reflection on the past years all they have been through, and those emotions can be mixed it but the good part of the story is that they made it to the end.
I even heard of stories where some where expelled due to examination malpractice, done dropped out due to finances, others death and so on, it's a thing of joy to experience that and we give God all the glory for how far He has brought them and that this God who saw them through will take them to a place of rest, settle them with jobs that should be after their service to their country.
So this is me celebrating those who have gone ahead of me and also tapping from their blessings, that should be taking double of their anointing and grace 😁, a big congratulations to them.
