MY NYSC EXPERIENCE 2019/2020

Wow! Time flies fast. Memories from the 5th day (in November) last year, 2019, remain fresh in my mind. It was my very first day at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp where I met several others like myself who had left the comfort of their homes/families for sake of fulfillment, excitement or perhaps sheer necessity; to experience something different from the predictability of college life. Apparently, my first 60 hours staying at the camp were not as fun as I thought it should be... Perhaps I wasn't the only one who felt this way after realizing that: one had to share a room which was poorly ventilated with 29 others of akin gender, one also had to leave anything one was doing to report to the parade ground immediately one heard the sound of the loud beagle, one would be all dressed in white 98% of the three weeks one had to spend in camp, one wasn't always guaranteed access to running water nor a socket for re-charging essential devices.

This reaction occurs in your amygdala and  results in bodily changes that  enable you become more efficient when faced with  danger. Fear is very essential for your survival. Internal and External fears  are  the  basic categories  of  fear. Internal fears e.g. self –doubt &  anxiety; External fears  e.g. fear of  heights  & wild  animals. The essence of life is to evolve. As you evolve in this journey, there will be frightening obstacles in your way to test your strength. Nevertheless, remain focused and always let your destination or goal energize you to overcome all obstacles, because you are stronger than you think you
