How Did I Manage To Do It ?

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the hive learners' featured post. Every human being, at some point, must have done something they are proud of. We might have weaknesses and bad sides, but that does not mean we cannot do something we can boost and be proud of.

There are so many things I have done that I am proud of, ranging from sitting for Jamb exams, getting good results, and so many others. For this post I will be sharing just one with you, an incident that took place with my uncle. What he did really pained my heart.

Some years back, before I gained admission into the university, I was living with my uncle and running a remedial/predegree program. If JMB does not offer you admission, the remedial/predegree program can help you secure admission.It was more like a plan B.

My dad, and his love for his siblings, preferred to give my uncle money to do everything for me. He was given the money to purchase my form and also pay my remedial fees. He only purchased the form but did not pay my remedial fees. He called and told the home that he had done the needful. I had no phone then, so he was the only means of communication.

He used my remedial fees for his business with the intention of raising the money back in two weeks. Things don't always go as planned. The following week, his wife gave birth and expenses kept popping up and he could not raise the money as planned.

I was there thinking he had paid my fees until a list of those that had paid their fees was called out in class one Tuesday morning. I was shocked about not hearing my name. I went home and started asking questions, and he started shedding tears. He explained how it happened, but all his explanations fell on deaf ears. If I was your biological son, would you have done that ? I asked him and he stayed mute.

I promised to never forgive him for messing with my education. Even my dad won't do that, and I know if I were to be his son, he wouldn't do such a thing.

Luckily for me, Jamb offered me admission and I did not need that of the remedial anymore. We cut ties and never contacted each other again. We were in the same city, but I didn't visit him, though he kept pleading that I visit. Last year in December, I managed to let everything go and we are good now. I am proud that I was able to forgive him and just let everything slide. Till date, my parents don't even know such a thing happened.
