A 100l medical student ☺

      There's always this ecstatic feeling you get when you newly get into the university, a feeling you've  practically been waiting for all through your secondary school, not to even mention if jamb had delayed your admission. There's always this feeling you get like your life has just begun and you're now responsible for your actions.
     Being in boarding school, my life was routinely controlled by the school authorities, there was a time to eat, a time to read, a time to sleep and even a time to wake up. The part I hated the most was having to wake up at a particular time, I always longed for a break when I could go home and finally wake up whenever I wanted to, but even more, I couldn't wait to get into the university where that could be my everyday life.
    By the special grace of God, I was offered admission into the university after my first jamb to read my dream course. I can vividly remember how it happened that night. I had been checking the website consequently hoping to get my admission notification, because most of my mates in other universities had already obtained theirs. I can remember posting things on my facebook page like;
"nawa for uni Abuja oh"
"baba God my admission is in your hands"
"this uni Abuja should learn from other universities na"
And finally when I got the notification, I wasn't even as excited as my sisters were, or as my dad was, somehow I felt it was my right, and I had just moved to the next class (stage). My major excitement was that I didn't have to put up with my mother's threats everyday when she'd keep reminding me that if I didn't get admission, it would be two of us in the house. That scared me. But now I acknowledge how much God blessed my with my admission.
      By God's grace I survived the vigorous processes of screening and I started receiving lectures. This was when my life changed.
      At this stage we were now being properly oriented by our senior colleagues and the college on what it took to remain a medical student in the university. The college of health science needed just 50 students, and they admitted about a 100. The requirement was to have no grade less than a C or else you'd be kicked out of the college to the department of biological science. It was now that I was beginning to see realization dawn on me and I now knew my dream of waking up at whatever time I wanted was never going to happen 😥😥.
