What will you do with zoology? ...that's the question that anyone I tell that I'm studying zoology wants to ask me or asks me .... I'm a student studying zoology in the university.Here in Nigeria, people (8 out of ten) tend to take it that school is meant for doctors,engineers,pharmicits, lawyers ,etc. ......but not zoologists and some other fields ....
A friend of mine told me To study what I like and it was zoology.... actually biology but I'm not good at the plant stuff...
I would have chosen medicine.... but I don't like chemistry... and I don't wanna be limited to humans.
Some wise quotes I have also read said the same thing my friend said and that was enough morale for me... now here I am about to begin my 2nd year of studying.....
The problem is that now I'm bothered about the question -what will you (I) do with zoology -
If I were the best in my school it would be easier for me... but I'm not...
If I were fucking intelligent it would be easier too ...but I'm not...
If I were tall modelling would have been an option.. but I'm not..
If I were hardworking..... I'm not but can be
...what I am, I can't explain.... I put good effort in school and while there ,I was thinking that if I got back home I would get creative and innovative..... am on holiday now, about a month into it and I haven't done anything..... I always thought of how I would be like Justin Bieber and release a song at 17 or 18 not sure his age when he released his first... but in about a year from now I'll be 1 less than 20 ...and I have all this songs in my head..... I used to think that I'll have released them by now but I can't do that by just sitting at home....I thought of one of my writings being published and receiving an award and one of my songs being used in a movie scene..... or of how I would feature Jesse Jagz on a track I pray they all come to pass I used to think of how I would be on interviews on MTV base,Hip-tv and maybe Trace and how they would call me up on stage to present me with my best movie award if that exists.... and then it dawned on me that I might be Arts inclined..... then I thought again -what will I do with zoology - .
The other day my mum called me into her room and was complaining of how I spend time on my phone too much which is true.. how zoology is not something you finish from and get something doing ASAP.............
....I'm in a country where it's almost hard enough for an engineering graduate to get a good paying job talk more of a zoologist...... anytime I see a fellow youth that question resounds I'm my head... I was on a bike when I saw two pretty ladies in a Jeep, they looked like young graduates from maybe Law school and she was already driving a car then I thought of it again... anytime I'm silent I think of it, it bothers me.. our previous president was a zoologist, why? Was it because there was nothing he could do with his degree in zoology.. at times I feel like I'm the first person to study what he likes in this country but I'm not people have done it before me and I don't know their story but I hope it's good cuz off all d wise quotes I have read about doing what u like very few is from my country it's like dreams don't come true here...
I am scared.....she and my dad were telling me of how my friends have published works in newspapers, have songs that have gone wild (Godwin -korede Bello) he is not my friend... and etc.. while I'm just sitting at home... ma dad said that if you have nothing in your pocket you are not legit in the society...... I don't wanna be rich I wanna be Great.... but how do I get there?, I don't know , if I could bring out all the ideas in my head I'll surpass greatness.... I'm just living on Belief now cuz it looks like there is nothing promising out there.............................
#side note -in my head I had a lot of things to say but now I feel limited.......
The question now is what do I wanna be in life ? I don't really know... I'm kinda good in Zoology,Music,Writing and Creativity ..... with these I hope to conquer Greatness
...but first of all I need to leave the house.
This is not just a story... it's real life.and I don't know what happens next .... I would have said more but it's Sunday and I'm going for the first mass,am a Catholic.. and am going back to sleep... I ask myself again -what will you do with zoology-?
