There are bigger problems.

Yeah. Damn. What a sadistic title. I'm sitting on the floor out the front of my home. A storey building. from here i can see my dogs, i can see out front and out back. Everything looks serene. Why shouldn't it be. Being a simple male undergoing the medical training, this week is the first i'd had the opportunity of seeing home. Based on the time distribution between here and school,I'lld say that i'm merely a visitor in this place. You see, back there in school, the only problems were how to pass exams, what scores to aim for, how to get laid, why doesn't she like me, when do i call,"shit, its sunday already" , my slip don cast, and other petty things. In reality, its because a few things are going wrong, its hard to see what's going right to begin with. I'm in med school. I mean, how many millions of Nigerians wanted this opportunity? More so, in a private one?! Where they actually admit based on merits rather than federal where you need a plethora of connections, and moreso, so far, i've been able to pay a hefty sum, Which a lot of Nigerians can't afford. heck, money is to private as connect is to public. I eat daily, i sleep and wake up daily. Sure i've had some serious health issues, but given my vast knowledge and experience. I've seen worse, and i definitely know a lot worse.

You see, because i'd been caged by the vast four cornered steel barred fence of education for almost my entire life. I failed to see,and still fail to see that theres so much more. And i don't mean the fancy stuff. There's so much hardship and survival going on out here, its surreal to think i'd want more. People are suffering, a lot of people are in terrible situations, dealing with problems i can't even fathom. Even here at home. At least i have parents to take the strokes, whilst shielding me from it all. What about those that have none. We say "no matter what i can't commit suicide". Isnt that shallow minded?do you think you'd be able to endure what made him quit life? you need to see to see.

You must have gotten the gist of this whole essay by now. This is for folks who have been caged by " education " and haven't experienced the real hardship of the outside world. Shit's a lot harder, there are a lot more problems.before you feel bad that she didn't say yes, be happy you have the opportunity to be in that school. Before you worry about passing, remember there a lot more people better than you, but do not have the same opportunity. So passing is not optional, its is essential. Before you worry about the shitty taste of the food, why not be happy you have the money? Heck, you probably didn't work for that money.

Let me give you a last analogy before i go. Lets say an ant bit you, the area swells, you complain, and then the next hour you get a fracture. You see until get that fracture, you'll be worried angry without even realizing shit could get a lot worse. But realising shit could get a lot worse in a short time allows the current problem to be insignificant.

And please don't get me wrong. Everybody will face life head on, the core education's finished. But thinking about those problems now would allow you effectively shape your future and prepare, as well as kicking all other small problems to the ditch.

Yes, you're not smiling. This article may have left a bitter taste in your mouth. And that's okay.the world is to fucked up to worry about how shitty this article is. I guess the summary of this says

If you have a small problem right now, remember there are bigger problems that you don't have.......yet.
