WITHOUT STRUGGLE, THERE IS NO PROGRESS

What a lovely topic to write about, people in higher institution can relate well with this lovely topic because it seems like a tradition in my country (Nigeria), if u attend or attended tertiary institution in this country you will definitely know what this topic is all about.

It gotten to a stage in my department we read ahead our lecturers because no one can predict them and they can be silly most times, we always prepare ourselves each day and each lecture we are attending.

I had countless of impromptu test when I was in school but I had one that I can never forget and I will never forgive the lecturer because it pains me to my bone marrow

There was this lecturer that he can never change his decision no matter how we complain to him, he so Adamant and love to stress the living being out of the student, there was a day we were suppose to have his lecture around 12pm to 2pm and we waited for him at the lecture hall.

It was past 12 the man did not show up, so we sent the course representative to his office to check maybe he is on seat to know what to do next, the course rep. went to his office and this man told him that he's coming and he came back to deliver his message to us all, so we calmly waited for him since he said he will come.

It was 1pm this man did not show so we all believe that the man will not come though we are still waiting but not that concentrated on his coming again and he was the last lecture for the day, so most of us just gathered and started gisting, while so of us were snapping pictures which I belong to that group and waited patiently for him.

So when it was 2pm so if us are tired and we started leaving one after the other thinking this evil man will not make his way to class again since his lecture time has elapse, so decide to leave but so of us were still in the hall.

When I checked my time and I saw it is 3pm I decided to leave the hall with my friends and the rest of us, my house is about 25minutes on bike so we are left the lecture hall.

It was 4pm when my friend called me and asked me to rush down to school now or I should check my WhatsApp message, lo and behold I open my WhatsApp and I saw people's messages that the man is in class now and he is about to write test.

Hmmmm, I was shocked because this man will surely use the test no matter what, I was furious at myself for no reason, so I jumped up and dresses up and ran to the street to look for bike, people were just calling me and others to rush down to school.

When I got to the hall, I just heard tear a sheet of paper and I was blanked because the course is not something you can cram it is something you need to understand and digest well, the man said we should not sit together and he started arranging us the way he likes.

Back view of the lecturer

The test is nobody's mate, no one to copy, the man scatter us and gives space between us very well, even if look to your right no one is there, to your left no one, even if you ask anyone they will tell you they do not know it because we were not expecting it, everyone's brain was blank, we were not prepared for it, I know you will be saying what of the book worms, we were all there together looking at each other, that man dealt with us seriously that day and I don't know if I can forgive him.

The next day he brought our script to the class because we were not much in class we were just 35 in my level then, I saw my script and almost shed tears likewise my friends and not only us even the book worms among us, but one thing I love about my course mate is no matter the score it will never weigh us down, life continues, we muveee. We just gather courage and tell ourselves that we still have 60% for the exam so we never let ordinary test determine our future.
