so growing up in a Nigerian household as
I mentioned there are very high
expectations set for you many of them
career-wise I can name doctor lawyer
engineer or anything besides that you
are considered a family disappointment
and you could imagine where I fall
between that a little mix of everything
but you know we’re getting there but
something that my parents truly
instilled in me was the wasn’t just high
expectations but just aiming for
excellence but much of aiming for
excellence to them did not leave room
for failure for me so that means I had
to put a lot of pressure myself to be
good and everything I joined the
journalism Club in high school I ran
track I was valedictorian in middle
school if that counts and everything
else I did between I didn’t really good
at but one thing that I’m also really
proud of that I’ve learned to be one of
the core skills that I keep to me today
is that I know how to lose actually I’m
pretty good at it and I’ll show you some
ways you could be good at it too so
specifically I remember my freshman year
I received a 2.9 GPA when I brought that
record back to my mom and showed her my
report card she didn’t take it too
nicely she then asked me ah what can’t
you get to 8 and I really had nothing to
say and then she followed with the
classic line so your classmates have
bigger head than you that you cannot get
an 8 did I born a stupid person and I’m
like no mom of course you didn’t I’m
smart occasionally so I know it sounds
harsh but she means it from love I know
she does just and not the nicest ways um
but what I’ve gained from her telling me
this was that it wasn’t that was zactly
bad at being a winner I was just really
good at losing weight just actually one
of the biggest steps that you can take
to getting successful so to be started
on my first plane one thing that I
definitely learned was that your pain is
purposeful so I’m gonna recall my
freshman year in college now I gained
the freshman thirty my GPA was a 2.7 I
was going through everything that a
female could possibly endure and to add
on top of that my eyebrow hairs were
falling out yes my eyebrow hairs I was
physically feeling the stress that I was
going through and to be honest I did not
take it well that was L that I will
admit that I took it was bad and
honestly as much as I did not like the
experience I would not want to go I
would not want to go without it I’m so
glad that it happened to me because
because of the exposure I was able to
not follow the next semester by getting
out of academic probation following my
suit as an honor student and fulfilling
the expectations not only that my mom
put on me but the expectations that I
had for myself and that was one of the
most important things that I had to
learn from losing was that my pain is
purposeful because it leads me to where
I’m meant to be um so I’m just gonna
share a few moments that I actually
experienced so we can all relate to me
when it comes to taking it out so this
just the pics
I am Michael Jordan that’s me crying and
Drake hair is my friend and this does
the Picts a moment where my friend
posted a very cabarrus a moment of me on
Facebook and refused to delete it
therefore she was handing me a L so
that’s why you see me crying here
another moment to share I remember I
applied for one of the most prestigious
colleges that I was hoping to get into
and upon waiting weeks or weeks weeks
for this letter I received an
unfortunate news well it wasn’t exactly
L but you understand and another
embarrassing moment that we all can
experience here in DCU where our
professors you know
sprinkle the final grade on our report
cards and make our day is a whole lot
better by giving us a L but you know
it’s all about the process process so
now that I share some expects piercing
experiences with you I want you to know
some ways that I learned how to deal
with they along the way you accept it
bitterly or positively you accept it
that’s not actually picture of me that
just represents how I feel when I take
it out but at the end of the day I have
to suck it up because why that’s the
first step to learning you have to
accept the loss because if you deny that
something happened to you then that’s
removing the purpose of ever going
through something that removes the
purpose of ever trying to experience
life do not panic please don’t I tend to
have major anxiety issues the moment a
lab report is due by 11:59 and I have
two minutes left to submit it I start
crying panicking there’s fire around the
room my computer breaks down everything
just feels like it’s breaking apart and
I don’t want to take a oh but I have to
learn how to stay calm before I ever
approach out so in the face of adversity
in the face of times where you just
don’t know what to do I advise you to
not be like this don’t set the place of
flames try to remain calm try to do your
part and everything else will follow
suit stress stress stress stress and
more stress I was introduced as a bio
and chem major but she forgot to add
that I am majoring in stress why because
it doesn’t always show because you know
I put on makeup to hide the pain but you
know I’m making it look good I’m making
my own slippery it’s because of the fact
that I there’s such a thing as good a
stress and bad stress right we all heard
no difference the bad stress you lose
your eyebrows like I did the good stress
you use it to empower
you many times we go through pressure
and we’re in situations that just seem
so impossible to overcome and I think
it’s those moments that really help us
to understand what we’re able to do what
we’re really able to accomplish because
you never know who you truly are until
you’re put under pressure or stress
which we could all understand because
we’re all in college and we all major
and stress in our own form so and I just
want to give a comparison of how you’re
going to feel before you face L you’re
not really gonna expect it because you
know you can’t expect that l there’s no
timing to it no one tells you in advance
hey Chelsea a brick is gonna fall on
your head and you’re probably gonna feel
that midterm you study really hard for
no-one’s gonna tell you that but when it
happens you gotta you gotta try and take
it with some grace I’m telling you this
because I made the mistake to not take
it with grace I took it with stress and
anxiety but the way I probably should
have taken it was with with confidence
even if I didn’t have it I could have
learned how to fake it and that would
have probably helped me a lot more to
learn how to go this really fix to me
and I think it makes so much sense and I
hope it makes sense to you the cow is
life it’s not really showing but I
labeled it as life right what comes out
the cow am I allowed to curse is you
know so the food and the flowers the
beautiful flowers that we are the
unexpected poor flowers we’re faced with
poop life is going to present you with a
lot of poop poop emotes will be people
who’ll be experiences poopy everything
but what I also learned was that manure
is made out of poop and many well
agriculture and many plants require
manures to grow so I thought hmm maybe
we do need poop to be okay maybe we do
need those crappy moments in our life to
be better maybe it’s not the most like
or maybe it’s not the most desirable but
it definitely gets you to where you want
to be as much as it’s not pleasant at
all and stinky and something that I
always always always always always
always always say to myself that keeps
me encouraged is that it takes to well
you guys stay with me if you don’t mind
Levi all right you don’t okay so it
takes two else to make a W so always
remember that for every bad thing that
happens to you it’s always gonna work in
your favor
don’t take too many LS but try and make
it even out so that you get a W and
moreover to take it like a champ take it with some grace and be awesome thank you
