MESSAGE TO EVERY MATRICULATING STUDENTS!!!!*🔜🎀🎀🎀

When we were kids we all always had dreams of becoming either a doctor,  an engineer, a lawyer, a banker(not knowing it was accountant we meant) and so on...  We all wanted to become all this things as kids but only a few of us have actually achieved them today......

But the real question is have the rest of us failed???? Did we really miss it???? Why are we not those things we wanted to be today????

When I was in primary 5, I remembered vividly I wanted to become a petroleum engineer.. Well funny enough today am in my 4th year as an agricultural economist(😃😃😃)...
I asked myself one day how did I get it wrong???  How did I go from wanting to be an engineer to being a farmer/business man???

Then I thought when I was in pry 5 why did I want to be an engineer in the first place???  Well I actually wanted to become an engineer because I thought engineers earned 1$ as salary and that 1$ would buy me a house a banana highland and a car😃😃😃.. As a kid I wanted to become an engineer because the society painted something bad in my brain.. Growing up the society I witnessed in one way or another told me only if you are somethings that you can actually be considered as a first class citizen..  The society thought me that you are only relevant if you are a doctor, an engineer or a lawyer.... The society influenced the dream I had..  The society didn't give the other occupations relevance..

If my teacher wanted to refer to us,  he would say you guys are future doctors, engineers,  lawyers etc..  He never said you guys are future teachers!!!!!  He obviously didn't want to become a teacher.... But he had forgotten the importance of being a teacher,  the importance of impacting knowledge in others..  If none of us became teachers who would teach his kids.??? If none of us became farmers how would we survive???

In the process of growing up we got to realize that not all of us can be doctors, not all can be lawyers,  we can't all be pilots.... What we all could be and grew up to be were people of our own reality... We realized we didn't have to be lawyers doctors or any of this things to become first class citizens..  All we needed to be was what the society never thought us to be *THE BEST VERSION OF OURSELVES*....

So if you are matriculating today and you feel you could have done better or studied a better course..  I want you to ask yourself this simple question WHICH IS REALLY BETTER,  BEING A BETTER VERSION OF YOURSELF OR DOING A BETTER COURSE???!

If I Had learn one thing in life it will be society doesn't care who you are doctor lawyer farmer teacher until you make them care who you are,  until you impact something they cant overlook...

So you guys should see today as a day in which your dream really begins.... Paint a picture of what you want to get from where you are and make sure you don't give up until you achieve it!!!

The society doesn't need more doctors and engineers it needs more creative selfless and beautiful minds...

You have 4-5 years to prove to the world you are worthy of becoming a 1st class citizen Of life...


This is just a token from the whole lot of advise I have..

*WATCH OUT FOR PART 2!!! LOL*

I CONGRATULATE YOU ALL AND WISH YOU THE BEST IN LIFE!!!
