Never underrate your schoolmate. Truly nobody knows tomorrow .
?
There was a woman Chinwe who had it tough growing up. Her parents tried to send her to secondary school but she failed SSCE and just lost faith,
No good work, no husband, no future so it seems as she was almost 30. A few months later her schoolmates had their 13th anniversary of graduating from secondary school and you could see them?showing themselves, cars, affluence and most of them completely alienated her and even treated her like trash,
?
She cried all night and the next morning she made up all mind she must succeed against all odds. She was done with pitying herself. It was like a new Chinwe on a mission. She bought GCE form with her all savings. She was the only one that had all A’S in her GCE center.
?
A family friend?based in the USA came home visiting and saw her at a business centre at Ikeja
He was surprised her parents?were late and Chinwe was all alone

Please give a standing ovation to our very own Prof Chinwe to receive her award. You could see the shock, the tension, embarrassment in her classmates' faces.
In just 9 years how someone's story can change ….. pls never look down at anyone you never can tell what tomorrow holds.
