An experience I had with Time

 Have you been in this situation before? Some time back I was  going for a program and the event was in the evening so I had already ironed my dress the day before. Prepped everything I needed for the next day so I knew nothing was going to delay me for this program.

The next day I woke up, did my chores and everything. Late afternoon around 3pm I decided to take a nap so I set an alarm to get up around 5:30pm because the program was for 8:00pm.

I did sleep but when the alarm rang for me to wake up I felt I hadn't had enough so I added 30 minutes to the time since I thought I still had time since I had already done all the necessary things

When I finally woke up, I just put water on my body, dressed up and ordered for the Uber.

The Uber finally came and we set off but traffic dealt with me big time.

I got there and the program had already started. I got so angry but one thing I forgot to factor in was the traffic. 

Ghana traffic is hell and if you decide not to include it, it will deal with you mercilessly.

I don't know if you've experienced this before.

This experience taught me to factor everything whenever am going somewhere and also to leave earlier so that even if I meet traffic it won't get the chance to deal with me.




P.s Please let me know in the comments below if you've had such an experience and what you learnt from it.

The form One XpeRienCe (Senior High) Part 2

  I was told the prep was going to be held at the dining hall since we haven't been given classes yet. I joined a batch of girls at the table and I opened a book to read. Some girls were just talking about what they did after they graduated from Junior high school and some were talking about trending things going on. I was just tired to even talk to anyone by the time I realized I was fast asleep. I don't know how fast the time went. After a while, I heard the siren and that immediately told me prep was over. I took my book and headed for the dormitory but first house prayers were made before we were allowed to enter into our dorms. I got in so exhausted. Immediately, I started packing my things because I didn't want to wait for tomorrow.  I didn't like where I was sleeping. My bed was right beside the door but hey there was nothing I could do since I came late.  Fortunately or unfortunately for me I ended up getting two school mothers; one was in form 3 and the other w...

The Form One XpeRienCe part 3

 We got down and stood infront of them. I was told to go to bed since I just came today. The seniors told them to showcase their talents right infront of them. One of them sang a Jordan Sparks song titled 'No Air', another sang a gospel song and one senior said who could sing Brick and lace song 'Love is wicked'. At the time, that song was reigning and was the ish. They were just standing there, no one came forward. I was just lying on my bed and I was singing that song. I didn't know they were listening because I thought I wasn't that loud so when I stopped I realized the place was super quiet. The next thing I heard was 'form one girl get down' . I got up from my bed and stood infront of them then I was asked to sing the song I was singing. I did when I was done, I was asked to go back to bed and that was it. The next day was Saturday and I didn't know what to expect. I got to the bathroom to take my bath and I realized that the bathroom was an ope...

CHANGE

  Why do we concentrate too much on book knowledge and forget practicals? I have a friend learning Mechanical engineering and the person knows nothing about it.  The lecturer keeps giving them pamphlet and notes upon notes. Nothing to show for it. Most of the students in that class have no understanding of what the lecturer is teaching. They just read to pass and nothing more. If we are called upon to compete with a school outside the country, we will always fail because we know nothing when it comes to the actual thing. Our minds are filled with drawings, numbers and words. How can you be teaching a class mechanical engineering and never take them to the field to show them how things are done? How can you teach scientists without going through some practicals with them? Is this right? Does this sound okay to you? Change we must!!!! We must stop concentrating on the book knowledge and focus more on the practicals because seeing and practicing goes a long way. I am not saying b...
