✨We must appreciate small and little wins because they are the building blocks of growth.
For the past two days, I have been working on Week 2 assignments 📄 for the International Career Coaching Program.
Assignment 1 asked me to describe my current professional self🧘♂️.
This made me think back.🤔
🎬It started when I got into university in 2019, which was the same year the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world.
We had to stay inside for 7 months that year. When classes resumed in 2020, everything was moving very quickly and it was difficult to keep up.
But I managed to find a way through it.
✨In 2021, I got a great opportunity. The alumni from my department, MV MARINE 2008, awarded me a scholarship that paid my tuition fees that year.
That was incredible, it encouraged me to do better and take my studies serious.
✨That same year, I also won another scholarship called AOS Orwell Limited that pays my fees every year.
Thanks to AOS Orwell Limited and MV MARINE 2008 for there support🙏
😞My academic journey has ups and downs. I tried getting involved in campus politics, but failed many times. However, I learned a lot from those failed attempts.
🫴In 2022, I saw a need to help junior colleagues and students who were struggling with understanding some engineering courses.
I volunteered a lot of times to help the students community with the faculty of engineering student executives support.
So I started organizing tutorial classes and sessions. Over the years, I have coached and tutored over 500 students from various engineering departments in RSU.
This would not have been possible without three of my friends who helped me:
Shammah Ndubuisi - an excellent petroleum engineering student.
Daniel Amaewhule - a very bright mechanical engineering student.
Fortune Imaitor - my coursemate, a smart promising marine engineering student.
👏Last year, I got the amazing opportunity to do my industrial training at Shipside Drydock Limited ,A ship repair and maintenance company.
⛴️This exposed me to many new things about the maritime industry.
🏹The main point from my story is that self-reflection is very important for future growth.
🏹It allows you to see your strengths, weaknesses, learn from past experiences, set goals, and make good decisions going forward.
