Me In 5 Years.

Before I begin, I want to use this opportunity to wish my Muslim Brothers and Sisters a Happy Eid. Hope y'all had a nice time.

The topic "Me in 5 years" is a vision that has not been tested and may be affected by external factors; it's a subject of my personal instincts and may not be the standard.
Several changes have occurred in a lot of choices we've made ab initio; some of us have had a change in career, whether deliberate or unintentional. Some of us had the dream of indulging or being professionals in certain fields, but were hindered at a stage by circumstances beyond our control.

Growing up, I have loved the sights of galaxies and other celestial bodies outside the earth. They fascinate me a lot. So I wanted to have a career in that field. I undertook research on the field and what it entails to be an astronomer, but I had a certain experience that, made me have a rethink about the career choice.

During our SS2 third term Long Vacation Holidays, I attended a JAMB class to keep myself busy and also learn something new. In one of our learning sessions, the teacher in charge began asking questions on our choice of career in the near future. When it got to my turn, I stood up and said that, I wanted to be an Astronomer. The man was shocked at first, so I assumed he didn't hear me well. He asked again "You want to be what?"And I gave him the same answer. The moment I replied the second time, everybody began laughing, and as bold as I was then, I really felt ashamed. He then began explaining to me that Astronomy is a very nice course/career but they are a lot of things involved; one of which includes that there's no university in the country that offers such course. So at this stage, I had two options to choose from; either I remain bent on studying the course or I have a rethink about it. Studying outside the country was a nice option, but I wasn't financially tenable at that time to undertake such, so I had to have a rethink and a change of career in the process. It was a hard choice to make, but I had no other option.

This wasn't just about a change in course; the decision also meant that I would also have a change in mindset. 
I had to do it and also restructure my mindset to fall in love with wherever I found myself. Back to the topic of the day, the only major restraint I would consider is the ongoing ASUU strike that's making it look like there's no light at the end of the tunnel. So five years may translate to a little over 3 academic years, considering the amount of time we'd spend at home because of the strike. 
 In five years time, I would most definitely be in school, although with a far better and improved mindset. That's it for today.

Take your time to admire my beautiful subscribers, they are the best.
