"I planned on sharing this photo @ the peak of my career… Nevertheless I believe it’s out here today to encourage someone to keep trusting God.

Laugh small & celebrate with *Mouwa* This was how I survived 300l & 400l. This was one of the reasons I made a Good Chief Usher on campus.

From this came the fund for writing & presenting my project. For the photocopies & all; from this came the fund. #To_my_Course_mates; this is why I missed classes & probably dozed in class(lol).

Today, I look at this picture & am Happy. I don’t feel the stress nor body pains anymore… Hahahaha… (Thank God it’s in the past but the memories are here & I laugh each time I remember). Under the rain & under the sun Orji Chinemerem Joseph “hustled” (it’s called the Hustle Swt Hrt Lol).
