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.
