The importance of having a mentor can never be over
accentuated. They are people who have gone ahead, their past is our present- they
know what we aspiring to learn, they have fallen and they know what it takes to
rise and spur on with uncommon determination, zeal and fervency. Although,
things have changed yet, that does not undermine the importance of having. Just
as I’ve always said, if you don’t have a mentor, please get one ASAP!!!
It’s been a rigorous leaning process for me lately, I have
been privileged to move closer and interact more with one of my main teachers.
For me it has been one of the blessings of the unending ASUU strike, I have
learnt what academic activities would have deprived me of.
He came into my life at
a point when I was about giving up on life. Although, some would say that, it’s
too early to call it quit as a teenager. And I would reply with, “never blame me
for doing what I did because you don’t know what I was going through.” I have a
special burden for young people, especially teenagers. The pressure is much on
them and we all have to come to their aid, rather than criticize them.
Some unpleasant experiences that crossed my path at a very
tender age almost made me give up on the future. Thanks to a God set
father-Godfather, who was on point to give me every reason to keep moving on,
those mess form the content of MY MESSAGE today. He practically thought me how
to read, and much more the importance of continuous and consistent personal
development. In books, I have found so
many things that have made me a better person today. I may not be there yet,
but I am not where I used to be.
My God sent father, a Teacher, someone who inspires me and
shares his experience with me both the good and the bad ones. You have filled a
great Vacuum in my life… I’m getting emotional, I have to take some break now…
to be continued!!!
