Mistake is part of life but we must not let it define us
When I was still very young, My ambition in life was to become a doctor because I wanted to save lives but not all wishes come to pass, life happens and that childhood dream was killed.
I decided to pursue another career and this year when I saw a chance to become a part-time student in a prestigious school in the state where I reside, I jumped on the offer and chose Computer science as a course which I am kind of regretting right now.
You must be wondering why I am regretting it since no one forced me to choose the course, I thought since I am into online stuff, learning more about computers would help me more. Still, when I gained admission and attended the computer class I realized I was in the wrong department.
First of all, I hate computer courses, especially the programming ones, the class is boring to me and most time I do not understand what the lecturers are teaching neither was I interested in learning it, I just hope they would finish their lectures on time and leave the class.
The same thing happened to me today, we had two lectures and the first one was com 121 which is programming using JAVA, the lecturer spent 2 hours teaching and I could not jot down anything and that is because I did not like to write when I do not understand what is being taught.
The next class after the Com was EED, which deals with entrepreneurship, I felt alive again when the lecturer started teaching and I was following all that he was saying, I understood everything he said and also jotted down some things in my book then once again I realize I was in the wrong department, I should have gone for courses like psychology, agriculture or one that does not require calculations.
The deed is done, it is already the second semester of studying computer science, and am just going to keep pushing till I graduate but I do not think I belong there!
Many have also committed the same mistake of not pursuing the right career they love, some students are in a particular department because their friends are there, and some were forced to be there by their parents or guardians.
This is not right, if you want to be successful in a career, it must be one that you have passion for so you can be able to motivate yourself to be better every single day.
We all make mistakes right? but we must not let our mistakes define us, we must learn to make things right by correcting our mistakes before it becomes a bigger problem. So what am going to do now is become more studious and try my best to understand the computer course, I believe the future is bright.

You are right though coz passion makes mastering easy.
Programming can be so confusing for me though.
it is not only confusing, it is difficult, if only time can be reversed
You should have gone f or a business course maybe
yea exactly, I was not thinking straight until now, it is late already
Mistakes is bound to happen but what will really matters is the attitude towards the mistakes that make us stand out
Yea we must learn to face our mistakes and find a solution
Good writing
Mistake and correction make human stronger
thanks
yea that is it, we learn from our mistakes
It is normal to change or switch career as we grow. Making mistakes is normal cos no one is above it
It is a common thing in this part of the world, we have got no choice
You are not alone, who hate programming, it's a very rough and tough subject.
very hard to understand, not my thing at all
I agree with you, it is better we go for what we are passionate about. Programming is very confusing but I believe you can make it since you are already in.
hmm I will try my best, I have got no other choice
My brother, it is never too late to drop out oh.
Ah drop out ke, after paying school fees and the first semester is gone, that will result in waste of time and money
That's right, mistakes happen to all of us, if we apologize for the mistake, we can get our respect back, and those who don't apologize for the mistake can never get respect, that's better. That is, we should admit our mistake and apologize, then our relationship can be back to the way it was before.
At this point I can say with no doubt that most of us wanted to be doctors as kids but look at us now.😅
I am starting think you read my mind before writing this post. Just last night I was mad at my younger sister for letting my elder brother choose courses she couldn’t offer in the university in her application. Most of these young ones don’t really know what some courses are about and they require more explanation. I had to take the logins to her portal and call her this morning so we could actually select a course she knew she wanted to offer.
I think computer science is a great course because it is the bedrock of everything we do today and since it’s too late to stop now, I will advice you to keep pushing and make up your mind to learn and graduate well. I wish you all the best.
