During the period of growth and development, there is a certain point in life which we feel like we can live independent of our parents or guardian. I remember when I use to threaten my mom that I will leave her house because she flogged in correction. Haha. Now I am all grown up and really want to go back home but I can not.
There is a stage in life in which we have to leave our homes and go in search of greener pastures irrespective of the risk. Sometimes, we fail and fall back home, replan and fly out to the world again just to achieve our goals.
Everything has a start, so does my independency.
It all began when I was still a kid. I did not actually enjoy the luxury in which some children enjoyed. Growing up yeah, I had to do many things sin other to survive. I am not actually the type that look to my parents for anything. I have always felt independent right from when I became a teenager.
The time I felt truly independent and above my age was when I was in nursing school.
During that time, everything was on me. My feeding, most of my fees and many other things, including my class because i am the leader of 41 ladies. Ladies not guys, ladies.
Like I said earlier, I hate calling my parents for anything. It's not just me
The responsibility I packed was very much overwhelming for me. It was like I am shouldering the responsibility of a fourty year old when I am in my twenties.
The most issues I faced that time was my female coursemates. Every single day, I had to face one problem. Funny enough, these things are not worth causing a trouble, but well, I a leading females, what do I expect?
When I finish solving that problem, I will go to the principal to help her with some things in her office. I am not a staff, but I admitted students in my school and gave students orientation. I even chose the course representative of another class.
When I finish with these ones, I will find a way of putting food on my table. I will have to do my normal hustle so that I will gather enough funds for my fees and feeding.
I was able to manage all these things at once and honestly, I do not know how I did it but one thing I know is that it left pain and happiness in my heart. Haha.
This was when I felt responsible and independent because I could properly manage 41 ladies in my class. You know how one nurse have sharp mouth, talk more of 41 nurse. The gossips was really intense. Thank goodness, it helped me grow immunity to gossips. Haha
Sometimes, I become really hurt by their words, sometimes I cried because of the stress load of working and schooling, sometimes my course mates make me happy, some times i felt like calling home but my alter ego will not let me to do so. However, one thing that has always kept me going is my belief that hard times make hard men, and hard men make soft times. I need to make soft times for my children to come, so I need to learn from the hardship and make it out big.
