I had faced many disappointments in my life
Hello fellow writers. How has been your day. As I have earlier said, I will be completing my story today.
People made friends with me based on self pity. I didn't like it but I couldn't resist. Maybe because they were rich, they had what I needed. Though, my mum was providing for us, I felt bad sometimes that I depended on her for everything in my life.
During my secondary school days, I dated a guy, Fred, he's nice and cool headed. Although he grew up from an average family, he helps me alot which made me likes him more. Kate was my seatmate then, she told me she saw Fred with Mary last night, it seems they were dating. I didn't believe her, or let's say I didn't want to. I'm scared, Fred is a nice, he wouldn't do something like that to me. The next day I came to class, I keep hearing rumors about me and my family. Well, they were all true. A girl told me Mary spread the rumors about me. I knew Fred was to one who told her. I trusted him too much that I told him everything about my family. I went to confront him, then he told me he didn't like me. He was just using me to got close to Kate, my seatmate. That's when I gave up. I gave up depending on people. Even my mum fails to keep to her promises sometimes. Why should I keep depending on man. I shouldn't depend on them again.
Over the years, I have learnt to do things on my own, throughout my college life, I grew up struggling. It wasn't easy, as a student, I took several part-time jobs just to support myself. While my mates were busy studying, I was busy making money to support myself. My mum was struggling too, as a single parenthood she's taking care of my brother and I. I pity her too. I couldn't ask her for money sometimes because I knew she is yet to be paid.
I got lucky when I got a scholarship in my third year in the college, I was so happy. A burden has been lifted from my mother's shoulder. I took lesser part time jobs, I engaged myself in reading too sometimes. My final year was a bit easier than those past years. Even with the scholarship, I still had few things I needed money for. Amazingly, I got help from where I didn't even realize. At some point in my life. I got closer to God. I had a little regret that I wasn't closer to Him before. Who knows if all these wouldn't have happened to me.
All these experiences I have had so far, has made me stronger, even though I know I can't survive alone, I have learnt to be less dependent on man. I'm contended with what I have now, because I know better days are coming. Even with man's disappointment, I didn't give up on myself. Without my dad, I got what I want, I am able to complete my secondary education and college life. Though I made friends, I have never asked them for money whatsoever. I depended on myself.
Thank you all for reading. I hope you enjoyed reading so far.
