The purpose of education is to bring people out from the morass of ignorance to the pinnacle of knowledge. Hence, knowledge is knowing the right thing and doing it. Education is meant to build people both academically and morally but the problem is that we will pass through school without allowing the school to pass through us. Students oftentimes resist formation; those who are moving into the university see it as an opportunity for them to liberate or be independent of their parents. They think it is time to enjoy life by living any life that pleases them.
Nevertheless, this article tries to enumerate some of the things that make graduates not to get good life which one is expected to get after graduation. They are as follow:
1. CERTIFICATE ORIENTED:
People think that the main purpose of going to school is to get the certificate and not the knowledge, forgetting that the most important thing is the knowledge and not the certificate. It is, what are you made of or what can you do and not what can your certificate do. The earlier we focus on getting the knowledge, not the certificate the better for us. This is one of the reasons why someone who is a first-class student cannot defend the certificate he/she has.
2. THE MENTALITY THAT UNIVERSITY IS A PLACE TO LIVE ANYHOW LIFE:
People see university as a place they can do anything they like without being disturbed by the members of their family or being monitored by anybody. Hence, it is a place to do clubbing, a place to rest, forgetting that university is a place where you are expected to learn many things at ones for your own benefit; for you to be able to live a good life.
3. SOME PERSONS LEAVE THEIR STUDIES AND JOIN CULTISM:
University is a place for studies but some of the people sent to university to study have left studies to join cultism and with the activities of their fraternity, they find it difficult to concentrate in school. Some of those involved in cultism, resort to buying their certificate out with money. Now, a graduate with a good certificate but with nothing upstairs or to offer. Therefore, after graduating what else? This is a perennial question most of them don't ask themselves.
4. SOME OF OUR GIRLS GO INTO PROSTITUTION INSTEAD OF FOCUSING ON WHAT THEY ENTERED UNIVERSITY TO DO:
This is the most disheartening aspect of it. The person who resorts to prostitution is not only destroying her future but, destroying herself. The reason why some go into prostitution is to live a comfortable life forgetting that without suffering there will be no happiness: No cross no glory.
5. MAKING BAD FRIENDS IN SCHOOL:
It is normally said, "Show me your friend and I will tell you who you are". The type of friends you have in the university contributes 80% of your success in life. A good friend will influence you positively whereas a bad friend will influence you negatively. Bad company corrupts good manners while good company corrects bad manners.
Your future is in your hands and you are the one to decide how you want it to be. Make hast while the sun shines.
