A Friend Rejected Me

A Friend Rejected Me When I was in secondary school, I had a friend who seems to be friendly. We both do things together, we rub minds together, and we read together. There is nothing on Earth I am doing that he is not going to get involved in. When I am to buy a textbook, he will contribute money to the one I have, which we are going to use to buy the book. Sometimes the money may be very meagre, but, we will use it to buy the book so that we can be able to read together. I came from a polygamous family where I have lost hope of education. There is no how my father will train me to school without training the others. And so, I was leaving as if all hope has been gone, but I was still certain that it was going to be better. I had a strong belief that things we normalize in due time. So, my friend and I kept on together and began to hold on to each other. We bought two textbooks which happened to be mathematics and biology. Anytime I read biology, my friend is going to solve mathematics. The following day we will come together and share knowledge of what we have read. This was how I started inculcating the habit of solving mathematics generally One of our friends who happens to be a genius in mathematics and other science subjects came over when we were reading one of those days. There was a question we found difficult, but at the end of the day, he solved it with ease. This gentleman can solve anything called mathematics and can read anything readable. It was like a challenge to me, and truly I kept on with the challenge of knowing mathematics in detail. During my secondary school days, I had it in mind to become an electrical engineer but one way or the other coupled with the frustration of mathematics, I wanted to deviate to different departments. I summoned the courage to go back to the course which I have cherished so much. With the courage, I had from my other friend who knows how to solve mathematical problems, I was able to forge ahead. I wrote the senior school certificate examination (WAEC) and I was able to scale through. Now I have entered another face of life where I have to fix it on my own without the help of my dad. Although he was ready to help, with the fear of the other wives. With force, I was able to complete the second phase of life, that is, I managed to go to the polytechnic. This wasn't my dream but at the end of the day, my friend who happens to be the one that we do things together and also shares things later made it big. I was happy for him and to be sincere, I was truly happy because I thought I will be helped by him, not knowing that those days have gone. In this present day, it was a tug of war. I had to face it alone because my friend was not ready to help. Sometimes friends disappoint, but your family members can never disappoint you. I have watched many movies where friends had to raise each other. They have to support each other to ensure that they help one another. This is what you call friends, but mine was different. Some friends are bad luck, this means we should not depend on Friends but always trust ourselves. We should always trust our mind instead of hoping for one friend to help you out. The one in question is the one we have slept together in the same bed. Eat together and bathe together. Not just that we have read and bought books together, and now I was rejected instead of accepting me as a friend. I have lots to say, but I think I should end it here, until we meet again I shall discuss further my life.
