My Fight is Different From Yours

This morning, in a 5am session, talking to a group of young people in my online community, I told them, my fight is different. We do not have the same fight in this life.?

And they need to know their fight is different.??

I quickly realized I am an underdog few years back. Where I was born and the family I was born in and the circumstances I was in...I knew my fight will be different.?

People may be born the same day but some people are born in circumstances that put them 10 years ahead of you. So you cannot afford to fight the same like them. Some are born into families that can afford education easily, they can quickly travel out of the country to study in better schools, have access to better networks and opportunities. For some, while they are working, or trying to build a #business, their parents still give them monthly allowance.?

Some are born and the same time in the hospital, the father struggle to raise #hospital bills, in secondary school some did not have basic text books, like me, some finished high school with all certainty that they will not be going to the university because parents could not afford.?

Then and there in high school in 2008, I knew my fight will be different if I have to make it. I cannot afford to copy others who have different fights. I knew if I remain average no one will ever know someone like Javnyuy Joybert existed because my circumstances already took my 10 years backwards.?

When I realized my fight is different, I realized I have to be rugged, I have to show up, I have to be fearless, I have to take this fight to whatever level I can until I get what is truly mine from this mother earth. When I started working in building construction sites, doing okada (commercial motor bike riding), doing car wash etc to raise tuition for my undergraduate program in Bamenda, I was bold and fearless because I knew my fight was different.?

You cannot afford to sit and watch TV, hang out anyhow, party anyhow, being lazy up and down when you are already at a disadvantage. Your fight is different.?

Daily, I put 3am to 11pm (18 hours+) into all this I do because I know my fight is different. I cannot afford to put only 6 hours or 8 hours of work like every other person. Their fight is different. Maybe what I need to put in 36 hours to achieve they only need to make a phone call to get it. My fight is different.?

I know my fight, I know the size of my fight, I know I will get bruises as I fight this fight, but I also know if I do not fight this fight I die a terrible death. I will die with no significance, no value contributed to humanity. I know my fight and I have chosen my fight.?

Cheers
