Numbers And Letters

During my salad days,we were taught how to read and write numbers and letters.The letters were much easier to get bye since it begins with the letter "A" and ends with the letter "Z".Numbers on the other hand are sweet to recite,only that you need to create a targeted area to be mastered before you can proceed further.And since it runs into the uncountable,it requires step by step approach.

When we were much younger,we were made to learn both numbers and letters beyond our will and wish until we grew and specialise in our various fields.The young they say shall grow!As time progressed,the term "Mathematics" evolved from the word numbers,while the term "English" evolved from the word letters,and we were ment to choose which field to specialise in.Let me extend a little into my Secondary school life.

To tell you the gospel truth,I never liked Mathematics but I was during well on the average.This was because I gave it my time even though I did not like it.Some times I just wished the cup should pass me by when I am on it.At some other times,I did not understand jack about some procedures but I had to find a way around it.This is a lesson for those of us who think you must like something before you learn it.At least give it a try.You mustn't learn everything about something but you can have an idea about it.

As for "English Language",I had a flair for it no doubt.But it didn't end there.Then,I admired some Television personalities(+Genevieve Nnaji,+Ramsey Nouh...)as well as some newscasters.As a matter of fact,I had to look up the dictionary each time there is a news broadcast so as to know the meaning of certain vocabulary,and to learn the act of diction,what you call "Oral English".Yet the story continued...

In my higher school,I studied Estate Management in Abia State University.Graduated with a good grade,at least with a "Second Class Upper" amidst the rigorous activities.Thereafter did my NYSC with "Music" as my Community Development Service(CDS).After which,I have been through ups and downs,yet I have not lost my mind and my sense of humour.I still remember my knowledge of numbers and letters,and can use it when duty calls.I am still me!Tell your story today to encourage someone.You are free to share and comment!
