Every Morning I wake up and struggle to define who am i? Am I the sad dropout? Am I the boy on the verge of living his life on his own terms? Am I the person who made the right\ wrong choices? Or am I the boy who is carving his own path, one little step at a time hoping that God will intervene when am going astray. My name is Kelechi and am 23 years of age. You would think I should have been done with university by now since I got into the university in year 2010. There are days when I can’t even answer basic questions of whether I want to live at all or not.

And that is where I was last week, wondering if all that is happening to me is a curse. Wouldn’t it be better I did not come out of my mother’s womb?

It’s been two years now that I have been out of the university. I thrived on after sleepless night and continuous crying. I got a Job just last year with my SSCE certificate as a front desk officer. It’s hard to live up to that image of the strong confident man. So much pressure built around it but I had to push it aside. I had to see myself as a victor who in spite of all that surrounds him could see his future brighter and shining like Gold. In my schooling days I use to pick up paper and write rhymes. I felt so much Joy doing it but with my situation I haven’t done that for a year and half. Last two months I got inspired to write a song (2 verses) then I said to myself this could be my wakeup call because to me I was just a living corpse. So I went to the studio to record the song with my friend .Now hoping to perform the song in the same school I dropout from. Then it hit me again. My mind started speaking to me saying “YOU ARE A DROPOUT” so I sat down and took a deep breath and said to myself “NO I AM NO DROPOUT, I’M WORK IN PROGRESS”.

Have I figured it out? Do I have all the answers? NO. But I know this, the search never ends. If It does not work, each day I would become someone new and maybe in a little while I will achieve and surpass all my dreams.

THROW LIGHT:  God is the POTTER and I am the CLAY. As I search for me, I always remember to lean on God (MY CREATOR) who already knows me and what He is shaping me to become

TASK:  It doesn’t matter which area we are searching for answers. Tell yourself today “I AM WORK IN PROGRESS” continually put your dreams in front of you daily and see miracles happen.
