Growth is inevitable, we all get to experience it one way or the other in different aspects of our lives.

At some position in life, we were all monitored by older ones all through just to make sure we are on the right track and with time we get to be monitored by ourselves because growth stepped in.

Growth brought in responsibilities for us, growth made us make decisions ourselves.
growth is inevitable.

With time we all get to leave the family we birth from to start a new one or get independent.
it can be a bit challenging the first time but it's something we all can't avoid.

It was sometimes 2019 when I was home waiting for my admission and with the look of things the admission was not visible if I was not rejected all because of the course I chose being competitive, I would rather not be given feedback till tell myself no miracle can be done for this admission.

That got to me pretty bad as I was home and had no idea what next step to take.
I was bored, tired, and frustrated. i wanted to start a new chapter in my life but it was not coming forth

And so I made up my mind I would try again this time but in another location and state entirely.

I wanted a change of location, I wanted to breathe new air and be away from home
the home was just not helping at that time.

So I made a decision that I would be staying with my uncle who stays at Akure alone
Without much talk, an agreement was made and left I in January.

Akure was a different city the breeze over there was a bit much for me but then I could not complain it was my choice

My uncle and I go together to his workplace every day it was a different life over there we were both living bachelors life, with no wife to cook
it's whenever we get back we contemplate what to cook, and if we are both tired we both sleep without food till the next day. unlike home whereby my mum will always come up with what to eat.

I became responsible for my earnings, spending and some decisions that concerns me.

The travel gave me so many exposures going independence and the tip of responsibilities a man carries

Sometimes it's always fun as there's no one to scold and sometimes it's always so tiring that you would crave help.

The travel gave me a view and taste of life from another angle that does not include my parents and I learned new things and how to be responsible for every one of my actions, it was a sweet and at the same time trying experience to have,that taught me a lot.

I was there till when I tried my admission again and this time it worked out.
it was a win-win decision for me

Sometimes we only get to know things when we experience them.

My experience over there taught me a lot and helped me survive in school
kept me disciplined in school and how to be responsible for myself.

At a point in life, we desire to leave where we have always been. It is normal for humans because we all have this trait to explore which is hard to silence.

You took the step and it gave you more understanding about what life looks like staying away from home. I am certain it did help you after gaining admission, you are doing well bro.

That is the thing with being alone, you have to take responsibility for every action you take. There is nothing like "I did not know..."
That can be scary, but it also helps us to grow.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
