Embarking on a Master’s degree programme in Business Administration, at Lagos Business School is exciting and at the same time challenging. I got myself prepared for unlearning and relearning process that comes with the journey and meeting with new persons who would be a part of my world. It is exciting that my new acquaintances at Lagos Business School and myself would explore our new feat together on the same level. We move at the speed of light; it is ensured that no one is left behind. The bond between the students with no strings attached is commendable. No one hoards knowledge and none is afraid to express their deficiencies.
In my first week of resumption, after a particular course, I found myself tongue tied and when I decided to contribute, it was outside the context but trust me, all the lecturers are always willing to help us find our feat. It took me some time to adjust and I am finally getting the drift. Did I remember to tell you that we have all the assistance needed for development and attaining personal goals. It also dawned on me that learning is easier when your tutors are interested in your success compared to my earlier educational experience. It is good to know that there is value for every penny invested.
When I received my first lecture in Cost and Financial Accounting, I had butterfly bubbles at first but I was surprised at how fast I settled in. The course is beginning to answer some of my long unanswered questions in the business world. How my expression and thoughts are harnessed and changed after each day’s lecture dazed me. It is like a fish that is being exposed into the deep blue sea and is acclimatizing into the new environment. Lest I forget, the confidence that this new phase is giving to me bursts my mind. I am more confident than ever. The words that are always used are now used in the right context and with appropriate expression.
I wish I can talk about a course that excites me but I would be doing that in my future post. Did I remember to tell you about the challenges of combining a full-time job plus parenting with the programme? It was challenging initially but I am lucky to be able to adjust my schedule in a couple of weeks. Though not easy but nothing good comes cheap and easy; it comes at a price, especially when personally doing school trips and packing lunch is involved. Even when as a mother, I want to be genuinely involved. I find myself unconsciously missing out on some routines. Some measures are currently being reviewed to put this under check.
Remember I said “nothing good comes cheap and easy”. Some weekly activities are also currently suspended until when anytime the Faculty is on break. Thank God for my support system that fill in the gap at little or no notice. Watch out for exciting updates.
