2020: Positivity out of adversity.

Phew!! This was probably the toughest year (a lot of people said so). For me this year was a breakthrough for a lot of things. Before the pandemic, I completed a project with Brimatel & I have been planning my ways on how to secure an internship for my mandatory school IT. I attended a couple of them like Goldman Sachs, Addax, etc but didn’t work out as planned due to the pandemic and my performance.

For me, it turns out I was pretty jobless when we were sent back home, and we couldn’t go out due to the Nationwide lockdown.

March ended, I was still doing some teaching, volunteer stuff, and organizing event.

Here were my expectations for 2020:

• Travel abroad for the first time( either through Goldman Sachs internship, GDG organizers Summit or Local Guides summit) — Didn’t achieve this.
• Work on my school grades — Didn’t achieve this.
• Become a DSC Lead — Wasn’t selected.

Here are the things that happened unplanned (some effort was put in though) 2020

• I became a GDG organizer for GDG Ojo-festac in Lagos around March.
• 2 job offers I was clueless about what to do.
• More Fundzz (x XX of last year’s income)🥵🥵
• Became a Microsoft Students Ambassador
• Made a lot of financial moves.
• Attended my best friend’s wedding (Akasu 😌)

Oh well, a lot really happened and this was possible because I wasn’t engaged with school activities.

Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

Special thanks to my cycle that made 2020 special.

Thank you for reading my “summarized year-in-review" 😊 I hope you stay motivated to do more in 2021.

Cheers.
