Passing Outta Here!!!

Hola!

So last Friday I completed my service (National Youth Service Corps) to my country, Nigeria (greatest sigh of relief). During the service year, I did have some challenges but that’s a story for another time. All through these I’m thankful to my dad, he has been my rock.

Albeit the challenges, serving in a new state has been an interesting one, a lot has happened. I’ve learnt from each experience, still learning a few and started working to achieve some goals:

I got better at smiling & being more optimistic when going through a really bad situation, even though at a tiny corner in my heart, I’m expecting the worst.

Got to make friends with some of the most inspiring and encouraging people so far.

I realized I was more judgemental than I thought & finally learning to be less of that.

Finally started blogging, thanks to my dad, Olawale and Adenike. You guys rock!

I think I’m becoming more of an introvert turned ambivert (some people will argue on this one).

I became more confident, hardworking and focused on things I want to achieve.

Learning to let go of fears and just taking a plunge.

I’m finally beginning to understand why “family is everything”.

Taking out time to study and understand people, so I can deal with each one accordingly.

I discovered I love travelling.

Learning how to be less anxious of the future and just taking one day at a time.

Sometimes people will never understand you because, they’ll never take the time to look at the other side of things.

Lastly, I don’t care about certain things the way I used to. Things are different for me now. I’m different now.

Over all these, I’d say the NYSC scheme did a good one on me.

For the pass out day, of course I had to slay with the fro. I had planned some picture taking with some of the natural "haired" girls but it didn’t quite work out. I ended up taking pictures with just 2 members of the natural hair "gang". Ouch!

Anyway it was still a satisfying and fun day. For my look, I did a braid out to stretch my fro. Enjoy the pictures.
