‎There is always light at the end of the tunnel, because the tunnel is not always covered at its end. So no matter how long the time of what we go through is, we will always see light at the end of it.
‎
‎When I started this year, I actually wanted to learn so many things that will build me up for the future. I mean, one day I will have to take care of my own family, so I needed to build something for myself and make sure that I grow not just financially but emotionally and otherwise.
‎
‎I started my NYSC journey in January, and this is an opportunity given to every youth in my country to serve in one place or another. I did not just stop serving through NYSC, but I was also privileged to serve God and humanity through the NCCF, an acronym for Nigerian Christian Corpers' Fellowship, in Enugu state.
‎
‎The journey was not easy, but because I understood the fact that I came to learn and to grow, I found strength in everything I went through. Of course God would not give you what you cannot handle, and he would always want to build capacity for it.
‎
‎I started serving as the Assistant Zonal Coordinator of a particular zone, and it was like something went out of me because I was thinking about how I'm going to get strength for the work. I was thinking that I would not be able to do it; I was even afraid that I was going to give up and maybe run away from the work. There were times I would cry myself to sleep thinking I was on my own; there were times I thought I wanted to pack my bags and leave, but what kept me was the fact that I needed to finish what I started. Life is not pleased with people who give up. No matter how long you worked, if you are not there till the end, you will not get the reward. That was my mantra, so I kept doing everything I needed to do.
‎
‎I was the Assistant Zonal Coordinator, so I needed to lead people who were older than me, and it was not easy; there were people who were just there to annoy me or to insult me. I mean, the tunnel I went through was a very long journey. The insults, the mockeries, those times they lied against me just to prove a point, those times I was gossiped about, those times they told me that I was not good enough, those times they told me that I was a failure. At points I needed maturity to scale through, because knowledge would always counter what was not supposed to be there. I knew that I was not a failure, so it did not really bother me. What I was afraid of was giving up, but since I did not give up, I am very happy I did not.
