Morning Vibes With Dr. Jerry - the First
Hello and welcome to
#MorningVibesWithDrJerryTheFirst-Episode 84
Title: You
Are Not A Product Of Your Circumstances But Of Your Decisions!!
He
was the 7th born and 5th son of the family, there were two other following him,
overall they were 9 children from the same parents. Because they asked him of
the Lord, his parents named him Chim. His parents were not very handy, the
Father was a Motor Cycle Repairer while the Mother was a Petty Trader. They
both contributed to the upbringing of their children. The first 2 girls were
married before they were 20 years of age after they had finished Primary
School, the other male children before Chim did not proceed further than the
Primary School before they were apprenticed to various trades and handcrafts.
When he got to Primary Four, Chim told his father that he would like to write
the Secondary School Common Entrance Examination because he wanted to go to
Secondary School to further his education. While his Father tried to persuade
him not to toe that route as he would suffer much because he (the Father) would
not be able to train him but Chim insisted and persisted and even had to bring
the School Head Master into the case. He promised that he would do menial jobs
and tasks to contribute to his education. As he could not be persuaded to drop
his ambition, the Parents allowed him to follow the leading of his heart. He
sat for the Exam, and passed with a high score which warranted that he was
invited to write the District Officer's Scholarship Examination. He was
successful in the examination, coming within the top 5 high scorers and this
made it possible for him to be awarded the Scholarship (Full Tuition for the 5
years Secondary School Education). He did wonderfully well at the West African
School Certificate Examination that he was awarded a Scholarship to pursue a 4
year degree course in Law at a prestigious university. Speaking at the occasion
marking his being called to the Bar, Chim told all those who gathered to honour
him that he was a living proof of the fact that what makes a man is not his
surrounding or circumstance but his decisions. He said that but for his
decision to pursue his dream irrespective of the circumstance of lack and
deprivation that he came from, he would have ended up too as his brothers and
sisters who could not rise above their circumstances. How about you? Are you
still blaming your father and the circumstance of your birth? You can rise
above it you know. Let Chim's story speak to you today.
