I’m back like I never left.

👀

I know I have a ghosting problem and I accept.

I am the problem. Thank you, thank you.

Where am I gonna start from! There’s a lot to be said tbh. First of all, in my previous stories, I usually explain how I feel like I’m never enough for how I have been confused about what I’m going to do and stuff.

The confusion still dey small sha😅

This time around, I am giving thanks to God for grace and strength o.

Secondly, HNG nearly turned me to something else.

HNG is an internship which isn’t really an internship but a competition with different tracks like frontend, backend, mobile, product design and video marketing. It progresses from stage one to stage ten which is the final stage. Tasks are usually assigned and you have to pass to be promoted to the next stage.

To be fair, I didn’t even remember when I registered, I just saw a message that I was accepted into the program.

Side note, my job can be very demanding sometimes and so I didn’t want to be in a track that was very demanding and so, I chose video marketing.

Sike!!!!

Wetin be aspect ratio fgs, what is all these cuts and transitions I’m seeing??? Influencers! Naso?!

I duff my hat for Una o

I didn’t realise that I registered for problem o. See me thinking it was going to be easy. E choke oh. From the first task, I knew that I was going to ja. It was a gut feeling.

But my gut sef no try sha

Like play, I was promoted to stage two. I even had to start begging my coworkers to assist me in being my test subjects for my videos. I had to shoot raw videos in my office and edited till my hand was numb.

Eventually, I got to stage 5 and I wasn’t promoted. I think that I wasn’t able to complete the task and I just submitted it like that. I was just saying “ I’m tired jare, if I fail, I wouldn’t mind”

Mo mind Pa!

I went to the mentors dms and was begging for me to be promoted. I was sha promoted on a condition that I provided raw videos for the next task. It wasn’t easy, but I did.

Hard guy isonu.

I met very amazing people who without their help, I could’ve been deactivated really. My team mates were nothing short of amazing and I wish them everything good and amazing. From stage 6, I realized that I wanted to be a finalist, I wasn’t sure if it was gonna happen but it did and I finished as a finalisttttttt!!!!!!!

Kimonnnnn 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

I must say, I have become quite good at editing videos now sha.

#bringgigs

Still on still, I wouldn’t wish the kind of shege I saw on anyone. The anticipation before a stage promotion or a deadline was intense but my God pass them.

Was I very stressed and was almost borderline hypertensive, Yes! but will I do it again, Absolutely!

On another note, I turned 23 on the 22nd of October.

Jordan year babyyy….

I had time to reflect on how far I have come, I had a major surgery, I got six certifications from Cisco, I’m working on another two, I am a Hng x finalist. I have had countless testimonies and I am absolutely grateful to God for that.

Remain clear skin sha.

If you would like to see any of the videos I worked on, you can leave a comment and I’ll send the link.

Is God not wonderful?!

**you are meant to answer that question **

Write you next timeeee.

Love,

Ololade🤭
