You get some great, amazingly fantastic news. What’s the first thing you do?
I’d start with my experience in secondary school. This is a touching story to me.
I got a scholarship for JAMB (Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board) in my secondary school days. I was so happy because my parents were not buoyant financially, and I finally got a scholarship to write JAMB. I was so happy, but some of my classmates detested the fact that I won the scholarship and were not happy with me (they showed it to my face). They almost beat me up then, but I faced that period because I knew it would pass.
I was bullied in secondary school, but God helped me through.
They told me I wouldn’t pass the exam, but I clarified them about something; the statement was: “I didn’t plan on doing this exam this year, but God is making me to do it this year, so definitely failure is not in my way as far as I read”.
It was a tough challenge during that period, but I proved I was strong.
I dedicated my time and my all to study hard. One of my classmates that we do compete with results did his JAMB and scored 200 above; I was marveled and saw it as even tough than the bully incidents. I studied hard even more.
After I did the exam, and waiting for the result; on the day appointed to check my result, I was so nervous and afraid of what people would say if I failed. I couldn’t play so well with people, I was just spending time within myself.
When I checked my result, I JUMPED AND ROLLED ON THE FLOOR WITH JOY. I COULDN’T HOLD IT AGAIN THAN TO GO OUT AND TELL MY CLASSMATES (I attended a boarding school). I told one of my teachers, he jumped up and was so happy for me.
I could walk anyhow now, because I had the highest jamb score in my set. The bullies couldn’t do me anything because God already won the battle for me.
If I should have another great news right now, I’d jump, roll and give Hallelujah to God almighty.
