A MOMENT I Will NEVER FORGET, Greetings dear friends hooe am still welcome in this community after a long while? I remain @ntul001 and enthusiast of Hive and always ready learn fellow,feel free to always correct me....
Today i bring to you all a clear picture that shows the True..EndYesterday was more than just a date on the calendar,it was a defining moment in my journey. After months of research, writing, corrections, pressure, and prayers, I finally stood before a panel to defend my undergraduate project.I wasn’t just holding papers,I was holding proof that I didn’t give up. From the very beginning, this journey was far from easy.
There were days when I felt like I was moving forward, and days when I felt completely stuck. Project work has a way of stretching you mentally, emotionally, and even spiritually. You’re forced to learn things quickly, adapt to changes, and somehow stay motivated through it all.My project focused on the Seroprevalence of Hepatitis B Virus among Students of Federal University of Lafia. It was a topic that mattered deeply to me, especially because it touches on public health and awareness in our own community. I knew I wanted to do something impactful, something relevant but I didn't realize how challenging it would be.There were moments when I felt lost in data, confused by analysis, and overwhelmed by corrections. There were nights I couldn’t sleep, and days when I questioned whether I could really finish. But even through the stress and uncertainty, I kept pushing. Every small progress, every correction accepted by my supervisor, felt like a win. And slowly, the work began to take shape.
I also can’t forget the human side of the journey the friends who checked up on me, the classmates I discussed ideas with, and the people who reminded me to eat or rest when I was buried in work. It truly takes a village to finish a project.Walking into that defense room today, dressed in my green native wear, I felt nervous but ready. This wasn’t just about answering questions it was about owning the work I had done and the effort behind it. The panel asked tough questions, but I answered with everything I had. I knew this work inside out because I had lived it for months.When it was over, I stepped out with a smile that said it all. Not because it was perfect, but because I made it. I made it through the sleepless nights, the frustrations, the delays, and the doubts. I made it despite the fear. I made it because I didn’t quit.
This defense wasn’t just about academics it was about growth. I’ve grown in patience, resilience, confidence, and clarity. I’ve learned how to speak up for my work, how to accept criticism, and how to keep going even when it’s hard. Shout out To every student still working on their project I see you. I know the weight of what you’re carrying, Keep going. It may not feel like it now, but you are building something important not just your project, but your future self.And to my future self whenever life gets hard again, remember this moment. Remember that you were once unsure too, but you still showed up and gave it your all. You stood tall, you spoke with strength, and you finished.Today, I defended more than a project.I defended my effort I defended my growth. I defended my journey.And I’m proud of the person I’ve become through it.Not just a defense, but a declaration I survived, I learned, I grew. From title page to testimony, this is the story I will never forget.
