LIFE AFTER SCHOOL  BY TRAILBLAZER AREGBESOLA BUNMI

Immediately after my university days, I said to myself that I won't ask money from my parents any longer and that I really want to know how I can cope on my own without lading them with my responsibility. 

Concerning skills

I enrolled in a fashion-designing house both in Ikare and Ibadan. Now, when I got there, I never segregated myself from anyone. In the circumstances that I didn't understand anything, I freely asked from my seniors. I learnt many things. I made some clothes for myself. 

Concerning Finance

In other to cater for my needs by myself, I started selling Zobo drinks to people. Once the sun begins to rise, I would have my boss excuse me to quickly go sell Zobo drinks.  Before I started selling, I knew it would be an opportunity to meet different calibres of people so I prayed to God that whosoever would taste my Zobo will encounter Christ. I met many people in the process. Some mistook me for a young girl who just finished secondary school. They would encourage me to have all my papers so I could go to higher institution. While some encouraged me to have an handiwork because Zobo would take me nowhere. I just say thank you and leave. But if I notice your comportment and all of that, I would explain that I am a graduate expecting Nysc. The ones I told were wowed. This made many love me. They were like they have not seen such humility before. Some would even say they are suprised I am not messing around.  I had the opportunity of sharing the Gospel with some of my buyers. I met people. I made money. I was able to cater for my toiletries and other needs myself. I also taught a boy for a month and I collected my money. 

Concerning Marital

From May, I went to my spiritual parents in Ibadan to learn many things and to develop myself in many areas. One of the reasons I went there was to learn more about what makes up an ideal home. I learnt day after day. I picked up books from my father's library to read. I learnt what taking responsibility and being  disciplined is all about. 

Concerning Spiritual Growth 

I read several books. Even while at shop, instead of engaging in talks that won't benefit me spiritually, I prayed in my heart. I have days I fasted to know the next thing to do. 

Dear graduate, do not fold your hands after graduation. Add value to yourself. Develop yourself in every way. It is not time to be engaging in unprofitable discussions. Mingle with people. Be humble for God  resists the proud. Get things done by yourself.  Get the next step for your life. Grow up spiritually.
