YOUR GENDER!OUR PRIDE!!!



I receive my first informal education at home I did not have the opportunity to attend kindergarten, I was schooled and scold by my uncle for being a slow learner  by then, he would rant and I Cry by then I  left the village to town, I was barely 6 years old and had never encountered school. My uncle set the pace for my learning ladder. As the months passed by I Started improving in school, he instilled the consciousness in me I did not need to be told to study before I acted. I successfully completed primary school with List A in Common Entrance and First School Leaving Certificate in Cameroon. My batch was the first batch to enter class six the previous batches completed primary school in class seven. I gained one year which made me to enter Secondary School early enough. I attended Government Bilingual High School Mamfe ,Life in Secondary school was challenge given the fact that I was a girl, what kept me going was my focus I knew that my success depended on God and my smart Work ,also been a fatherless child I grew up with granny I needed to make her smile AND MAKE HER REALISE SHE LOST A SON BUT HIS DAUGHTER WILL HOIST HIS FLAG ,I needed to make my dad proud in his grave, I was too focused to a poiunt where i didnot engage in any relationship till 2014 when I entered the University of Buea Cameroon. My smart work paid a lot and in 2012 I received the Manyu Solidarity Fund 15th Excellence Awards for my brilliant performance in My General Certificate of Education (G.C.E)  Ordinary Level Certificate 2012 session centre NUMBER 1247,Government Bilingual High C I enrolled 9 papers and had 8papers 18points.My male competitor(Achalle Joseph Ma-Tambe had 9papers 18points). I always had a stiff competition from my male mates,in the end, I was the best female in my school. Between 2012 and 2014 I entered high  and offered social Sciences(Economics, Geography ,Mathematics)  and by the grace of God I validated all my courses with a wonderful result. As you aspire for greatness know where you seek guidance from. I had a bad counsel from a philosophy student who told me Mathematics was difficult I did not start with it from the beginning. My Maths professor who knew how excellent  was encouraged me I took up mathematics, did extra work with him and passed it also. Bad counsel can make a brilliant student fail beware!!!.In 2014 I gained admission into the University of Buea to study Accounting. I achieved my first year's goal of second class upper. My second year result was a night mare i was going through a lot of emotional trauma which stems from the effect of an unconducive accommodation, i do not want to think about the effect it had on my overall G.P.A, I regained my stamina and had a good result in my final year but my second year's marred my dream G.P.A from the very beginning . In my final year the Crisis started and it disrupted our studies. For the first time in my life i repeated a class i was to graduate in 2017 but graduated on my birthday 15th December 2018.I am so happy because though i didnot achieve my dream G.P.A I am contented that my G.P.A reflects my hardwork.I have come to realise that it is not all about graduating with a First Class Degree you need to harness some soft skills like communications skill,team work, interpersonal skill ,time management skill and continuous personal growth.I have added value to myself through by volunteering for many organisations such as Go-Africa Initiative Cameroon (GAICAM),CASSVITA Company Limited Isokolo Limbe(Cassvita powder fufu),Nkwen Cooperative Credit Union(NKWENCCUL) Mobile Nkwen  Market Branch Bamenda and Bamenda Police Cooperative Credit Union(BAPCCUL) St Paul Junction Branch Mile 3 Nkwen Bamenda just to mention but a few.I challenge you today as a young girl you can if you are determined, goal-oriented, prayerful and if overcome your fears.You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you-Phillipians 4:13
