What if ZEROES are start points for HEROES?



What if ZEROES are start points for HEROES?

Dr. Williams said as he walked out of the lecture hall after taking us through a thorough session of self-discovery and Career building. 

I sat at the front row of the class, with several thoughts running through my mind as I tried to ruminate on the question just dropped by the Lecturer. A few seconds later I was jerked back to reality with a tap on my shoulder by my newly acquired friend Josephine. A beautiful and warm-hearted lady with radiation of brilliance that I couldn't help but notice her astonishing presence when we walked past each other on the first day of our resumption at the University of Stirling, Scotland. 

I packed my bags hurriedly and we both left the lecture room for our hostel. On our way, we gisted about how privileged we were to be running our master's degree and favorite course, Digital media, and communications at the prestigious university. For me, it was indeed a dream come true and an opportunity I least expected.

I have always considered traveling out for my master's degree but I had no idea it would come this early and easily. Processing my traveling was like starting from ground zero and I gladly looked forward to the day I would reach the hundredth, pack my bags, and wave goodbye to well-wishers at the airport. The consistent push for me was the mindset of starting from somewhere no matter how little and so this was more like an answer to my lecturer's question, indeed Heroes are made out of Zeroes.

I said in my mind, " God is indeed faithful, to have brought me this far!"

When we got to the hostel, I had to fix something for myself and Josephine to munch on before we go out again to study at the library. After eating we both jumped on our beds to continue our discussions and before we knew it, we dozed off during the conversation.

I was the first to wake up and was surprised at the first person I saw. Behold! It was my roommate in Nigeria and she had been trying to wake me up from sleep.

Oh, my daze! I shouted as I checked the time and discovered that I was running late for work in NIGERIA!!! The look on my face clearly communicated my annoyance to my roommate and she couldn't help but burst into laughter because of my reactions.

I love to dream but this was exceptional and I didn't want to wake up to realize that the dream is yet to be a reality. By the way, wish me luck on my Journey to actualizing this dream of mine with God on my side.

I hope I made you smile with my story and if you are also like me hoping to wake up to the actualization of your dreams then here's my little advice, "Don't give up just yet, because your success story can only be best told by YOU". So hang in there and stay jiggy!

Enjoy the rest of the week and don't hesitate to contact me for your content writing projects.

IT IS OFFICIAL

  It's Official, here comes my second chance!💃 Yes, a second chance at success! Flash back to December 2021, I attended an interview and shared a story about it here on my blog post. I was so much excited when I got the job because it's a role I've always wanted to assume and for me it was more than just getting a job and starting off as an employee in another office space. It was the fulfillment I derived from churning out creative content at every chance I get. I had imagined working in an organization where I would be able to further explore my skills but this was exceptional, with amazing experiences, traveling opportunities, and a group of wonderful people to work with. I learnt a bunch of new things right on the job and I'm excited at the level of tremendous growth I've been through. Starting the job felt like a really crazy idea because I had left a full time job offer that I got from another company at the same time for this particular job that was ...

30 MINUTES LATE!

Help, we're losing him! Somebody do something! She screamed at the top of her voice and cared less if it was going to fade. Nobody seemed to be as agitated as she was about saving this innocent man's life. Their casual demeanor drove her insane, and she could hardly keep her rage in check. This man had been badly beaten and was about to pass away. She shouted for help once again, but his heartbeat had already stopped by the time the paramedics arrived. She froze in horror and disbelief as she stared at the lifeless body. She muttered, "The same man who was breathing a few seconds ago is gone in the blink of an eye." With bitterness and a louder voice she turned, pointing to the crowd, and said; If only someone had done the right thing 30 minutes earlier, Maybe He wouldn't have had to sacrifice his life for a crime he didn't commit. 30 minutes ago, he was a king in his own home 25 minutes ago, he had no idea that he would die for someone else's crime 20 min...

  Stop deleting those posts, e get why! In case you are also a perfectionist like me when it comes to writing posts and blogs then you should take a seat at this point, I promise not to take so much of your time. Welcome to the group chat of people who write a million times before they get the right words to post on social media. You know sometimes this can be very frustrating because you don't seem to get satisfied with what you've written and then you keep editing till you eventually clear it all off and forget about the post for that day. May I shock you that those words you deleted and ended up not posting might be the right words that someone out there is waiting to read for a life change? Won't it surprise you that as imperfect as those writeups look to you, they might be the best fit for a particular writing need a company or organization has? Amaka, stop erasing those beautiful stories you've written all in the name of you don't think they are good enough. A...
