Don't Give-up Now. Pick Up The Pieces Until The Puzzle Makes Sense Soon - says, Babatunde AbdulHakim

I remember year 2014 today when I was going through my photo album. The year which was full of sadness then but now a bigger thanks to the fire in me then.

I slapped a friend that we live in Same area and the mother came to report to my mom. My mom pleaded and all my thought was it over until my mom came back and said you wanted to be an hooligan. She ended the discussion by saying I will change your school to Western and Arabic school.

Once I heard that statement, My mood changed. How would I cope with Arabic subjects because I grow hatred for that language then.

The other day we went to the school and I was ordered to wrote an entry exam which I did. I passed excellently in the Western subjects and failed woefully in the Arabic subjects.

The principal said I would be repeated. I looked at that man and have the thought maybe this man is mad ooo. How come from S.S.1 to J.S.S 2. The news is very sad.

My mom accepted immediately and paid the fee. I looked at her with the thought that my mom don't love me at all. 

I got no choice than to resumed to this school. I found Arabic subjects so difficult. No one to help me so I failed woefully in the exams but excellent results in the Western exams. 

As I embarked to move out of the school, A senior which I called Mentor called me to check my results.

I gave it to him and he checked through. He said to me "My boy, you had a bright results, work harder to have the best results." 

He said further That the fire in me isn't getting low. He encouraged me to work harder.

Today, Am happy to tell you that even I might not have achieved so much. I graduated in 2018 with clear distinction in my O'level results and had best results in My Arabic subjects which I have the certificate.

Dear champs, you might be facing same in your academics, the fire in your isn't dying. Light it more. 

Maybe all you need is to try again. You might need a new strategy. You might need a new little push to change your story.

Don't give up now.  Pick up the pieces until the puzzle make sense soon.

Hope you're going to give it a try again?
