WRONG USE OF INTERNET

          These days, the internet has been abused wrongly by so many people especially our youths and teenagers who see the internet as a means of corruption and immorality. The main thing people don't know is the essence of internet and it's meaning.
          Internet is a computer system that allows millions of computer users around the world to exchange information.                                                                             LONGMAN DICTIONARY.
          As we can see from the definition above that the internet is used to exchange information. What some people use the internet to do is:
1. To watch pornography.
2. To hack accounts.
3. To steal people's money etc.

          Of all these things that have been listed here, if you're someone that engages in one or two  or maybe everything perhaps even more. I can assure you that after you must have done these things you end up gaining nothing and wasting your precious time  which you could have used to do something tangible or something that could change your life forever.
                    If you use the internet to:
1. Watch pornography: You're only destroying your future. Because I don't think there's anyway you'll watch pornography and not want to put it to practice. Even if it's against your will you'll have the urge to do it and when you do, there are lot of consequences. As a teenager, I would try my best to abstain from it and cut my friendship with anyone that will want me to engage in sex.
2. Hack accounts: Gaining access into other people's private information or accounts unlawfully. In most cases these information are used wrongly or to misrepresent the original account holders. From the legal point of view, this is criminality and could send the practitioner to years behind bars resulting in wasted years in prison.
3. Steal people's money: It is a very bad thing to do. The money someone has worked for, toiled day and night for then some one who doesn't know where the money was gotten, then comes to steal it, automatically a curse has been placed on your. The money you stole, will finish sooner than you expected and will have no value.

          Now we can see that when we use the internet wrongly, we don't benefit anything, instead we just waste time and resources which could've been useful to you and others. From now on I hope that we'll learn to use the internet wisely and well.

CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR

I didn't fully understand this phrase "be careful what you ask for" till it happened to me. Preparing for my SIWES (Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme), I wanted a good place. An environment where I could learn and grow not just work... I was so sure that was what I wanted. I applied to various offices, checked for placements online, made enquiries from family and friends, even wrote an exam (on top SIWES 😂) and sent a lot of mails.  I eventually got a call to resume work as I had been accepted. Getting there, I realized they didn't directly offer the service I wanted to gain practical experience in, but they offered something similar which is still a plus. Now, this is where it began. Work officially started and this was nothing like what I planned or asked for. In the first week of resumption all SIWES interns were given a study plan that included courses we were expected to take within a period of time... yep, we had deadlines to meet. Plus, we still had ...

EXPOSURE CHANGES EXPECTATIONS

There are many things I've come to realize during the first half of this year, and I understand them much better because I've experienced them firsthand during my Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). I remember there were many things that seemed very difficult, or almost impossible, when I was younger. Even from last year until now, my mindset has changed significantly. Not because those things have suddenly become easy, but because I'm currently in an environment where I see people strive for difficult things and eventually achieve them. They desire something, and they intentionally work towards it. I've heard some ladies say they wouldn't marry someone who lives in the same environment they grew up in because they don't want to raise their children there. While there are exceptions, I now understand the principle behind that mindset. Your environment influences your thinking, your expectations, and even what you believe is possible. I'm grat...

THE SILENT COST OF ASSUMPTIONS

After my first SIWES presentation, I learnt a vital lesson: confirmation gives better confidence than standing to defend what you only assume. So here’s the tea. Two weeks before the SIWES interns had their presentations, we were given the opportunity to watch two NYSC interns present. It was beautiful and impactful. After the presentation, I requested the document format from my supervisor, and he sent it to me. About a week before our own presentation, the HR in charge of training sent a document format for us to use as a guideline. The format was completely different from what my supervisor had sent, but I brushed it aside. I mean… it didn’t look like what the corps members used for their presentation. The day of the presentation came, and I used the format my supervisor sent. I wasn’t the only one who made this mistake. Others also used the same format because it looked similar to what we had seen earlier. Midway into my presentation, the company manager asked, “Is this the format ...
