I laughed at myself so much today and you will soon understand why. I have been ranting about how this NYSC scheme has been stressing me and how I have been having hard times finding a workplace to serve my country. My journey started to where I was posted to initially and they rejected my application because they were having some internal issues and wasn't taking in new corps members at the time. Everything fell apart from there because that was literally my plan A to Z. I was disoriented and desperate to find another place since I wasn't ready to start having issues with NYSC.
I got a place through my uncle and in my head, I thought it would be very unproblematic and not stress me at all, until I found out how wrong I was! I have written about this before, the man wanted me to be at work from Mondays to Saturdays, excluding the day where I have to appear at my local government for a special NYSC activity. It got worse when I heard the working time will be from 8am to 6pm and the thought of it alone was very scary. I knew I wouldn't have time for anything else and I wasn't ready to dedicate all my life to this scheme for the next 10 months. In short, I ran away from there!
So, at a point, I went in search of a place of primary assignment by myself just so I can know where I can get a space to work and I won't need to face rejections again. I already decided to settle for teaching at this point because I couldn't think of other reasonable alternatives. It was meant to be my very last option but it is what it is. So I took it upon myself to go to various schools that fall under my local government. The first and second school gave me really good vibes and they were so welcoming and I already had one I decided I would choose to work at. I felt like going to one more school that day and I didn't like the principal at all. I didn't like his vibes and I zeroed my mind to not work at the place.
To cut the long story short, I made a mistake while choosing the school I wanted to be posted to and even when I visited the autorities in charge of posting, I realized there was no space for corpers at the school anymore. The options I was given eventually turned out to be this school that I went to and didn't likethe principal and another one that was quite far from where I stay. So, at the end of it all, I ended up at the place I didn't want to go to at all. I really hope the universe has something positive in store for me there for real, because why?? Like, everything literally worked against me until I got back to that school again. It is very funny, and I am still trying to convince myself that destiny has nothing to do with this. Maybe it was just coincidence, right? That's a funny one though!
I hope I have a really good time teaching there and maybe I will thank my stars for taking me there eventually. For now, I am just flowing with the vibes and carefully watching how it will all turn out. The place is not so far from where I stay, that is the only positive thing about the place so far.
