Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -

This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Eggshells (Episode 10)

"Okay. I will call Tunde and talk to him", Jessica said as she withdrew herself from Daniella's embrace, wiped her tears, and went back to the pot of stew on the gas cooker. She opened it, stirred it a little, tasted a bit of it, and thought it was okay. She added a little quantity of water to it and closed the lid. Then she reduced the level of heat of the gas cooker as she turned her back and rested on the kitchen cupboard. Daniella had been all the while beside the refrigerator folding her arms watching Jessica as a hen watches her chicks closely. "Are you sure you are ready for this?", Daniella asked her. "I don't know Dani. But I have to. I just have to, for the sake of my daughter." "Are you ready to tell your daughter the truth? That her father is alive and that he is the nice uncle who sends her gifts you throw away." "Oh common Dani. Why won't I throw them away? Who does that piece of garbage think he is to send my d...

Eggshells (Episode 7)

Jessica got up from her daughter's bed as she heard a knock on her door. She wondered who would want to see her that early on a Sunday morning. She walked to the sitting room and took the keys from where it was hung on the wall and unlocked the door. The man who stood outside was a man she knew so well; a man who had been in her past, Tunde Balogun himself. He was dressed in a white Ankara fabric as his car keys were in his left hand. He was holding a nylon bag which looked like a gift pack he had got from a children's store in the other hand. Jessica gave him a straight face. "How can I help you? It's too early to come to my house." "I didn't come to see you. I came to see my daughter. Is she in? Can I go in?", he said and tried entering. Jessica blocked him. " Are you out of your mind? Who is your daughter? No one is in here so leave now." Tunde laughed. "You don't have to be so defensive, Jessica. You and I know our daugh...

Reasons Why it never worked out with Your Partner (by MG)

This is a combination of two posts written by Musa Gift (MG). The first is: Reasons S he left You / turned You down . The second is: Reasons H e broke up with You / never proposed . ----- Reasons She left You / turned You down So she just woke up and told you that it is over, or she said she can't go out with you, or be your "friend". But you have prayed and feel led to her, and she is stalling, or she just changed everything months or years into the relationship. You asked her for a reason and she said it is not you, it is her, and well, or that it is no longer working, or that you people are just not compatible. My brother, I know, sometimes these things happen like that idiopathically, but there are reasons, real reasons ladies break up with guys or reject proposals that they may not tell you – different reasons ranging from fear to the fact that they don't want to hurt your ego. So I have compiled a list, from what I have heard, read and per...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

I Conquered Masturbation, You Can too!

I started masturbating when I was exactly 14 years old. It was such an experience I never believed I could break off from. I grew up in a 'ghetto-like' place, which exposed me to different kinds of persons and experience. I had to run errands for my Grandmother and in the process, stumbled on neighbours watching movies with Adult content and sometimes saw some of them in the act, and because they felt that I was a small boy, the girls either didn't bother to cover themselves leaving their bodies bare as they attended to me, or continued in the act and never cared to pay attention to who it was that was around. Some of the ladies around who were not married would then touch my private part and tell me things they would have done with me if I was older. These were seeds that were being sown in my mind, and unknown to me that it would later lead me into a deep mess. The kind of friends I had both in school and home were those from the privileged class who had access to th...

Should an Employee seek to grow his passion?

By -
Image
This is a question that has generated a lot of conversation and brought diverse responses. Should an employee seek to pursue his or her passion? When is the right time? How do I make time to pursue it and make it profitable? Questions like these have lingered in the hearts of employees. With the uncertainties at some work place, the satisfaction derived from your heart's call and the fear of regret at the twilight of life. These and many more have pushed many out of their comfort zone to run their dreams and same time, the demands have made much more cower and stay in their comfort zone, drained of life - dying daily. Am I saying you quit your job to chase your passion? Of course not a decision to be made in the spur of the moment. You just must start small and take little steps towards them. I don't want to use my experience to explain this but let me share a friend's. I met him at a wedding over three years ago, we were groomsmen to our mutual friend and from the...

"That is what happens when you get too close to the opposite sex all in the name of friendship!", Daniella said as she munched some cookies in the kitchen with Jessica. Jessica was busy cooking as they both discussed. "I know but now the deed is done. He is getting married and I'm here with my child. And to think that Tunde has been disturbing me for a while now", Jessica said as she stirred the boiling pot of stew on the gas cooker. Daniella put down the glass of juice she was drinking in a hurry as if she was forced. "But what about the restraining order?" "Restraining order? I was told I could not get one against him since there was no proof that he has been violent." "That's serious. What exactly does he want?", Daniella asked as she folded her arms. " I don't know and I don't care. I mean, if his wife had bore him kids, would he even remember that I was once pregnant for him?" "You're righ...

If Donald thought Stella would let him leave the house that morning so easily, then he was mistaken. Donald who was dressed for the office with his suitcase in his hand tried to open the door to leave the house. However, the door didn't open. He tried severally until Stella came out to the sitting room with a smile on her face. She had locked the door and she was holding the keys in her hand. She smiled widely as Donald turned back to look at her. He placed his suitcase on the table. He looked angry. "What is the meaning of this, Stella? Have you gone mad?" "No. You are the one who has gone mad since you refused to touch your wife and satisfy her", she said pointing at him. He shook his head. "You have definitely gone insane. Is that why you locked the door? Let me have the keys. I'm running late." Stella laughed. "You're going nowhere Donald. We'll both stay in this house throughout today until you give me what I want." ...

Nothing is Impossible with an incurable belief!

Sometimes, the devil attacks you on your uniqueness or strength to make it look like a disadvantage and distract you from pursuing it to greatness. This is the true life story of Walt Disney, one of the most creative geniuses of the 20th century, and creator of series like Cinderella, Treasure Island, Alice in wonderland, and the globally popular animation, Mickey mouse. Did you know that Disney was once fired from a newspaper because he was told he lacked creativity? Can you imagine? He could have sunken into pity party and depression or even changed career lane because of it. After all, a reputable news paper has checked him out and found him to lack creativity. Trying to persevere, Disney however went ahead to form his first animation company (a creativity-driven business), Laugh-O-Gram Films which he courageously managed to raise $15,000 for but despite this positivity, he still eventually was forced to close it down, following the close of an important distributor partner.
