WHAT COULD BE WRONG?

-

 

'Dear me, I will bestow you with happiness if you could win this', this was my vow to myself about six months ago after clicking on the 'publish button'. I have written over a hundred essays, but none I won. Well, not until five months ago when I received the most anticipated call of my life. I won the essay contest!


I have always thought that winning an essay competition would trigger my adrenal gland to oversecrete its hormone. But surprisingly, I stayed cool even after receiving the message.


I wasn't sad but I wasn't elated either. 


Ever felt this way? Kindly share your story in the comment section.

    I feel this happens when one is overwhelmed over getting something. You are not in this alone.

HeForHer Project

Overview of my Social Impact Project The HeForHer Project is a community-driven initiative tackling the pervasive issue of violence against women in Ife, Nigeria.

MY 51ST ARTICLE IS HERE.

  "Khadijat, what on earth is this?" Those were the words of a client who requested for a proposal letter, but to whom an untallied essay was delivered to- I wrote an unrelated essay! You should ask for what went wrong. I had received a phone call from Mr. Obi( pseudonym for the client) after the new year festivities, and after about fifteen(15) minutes of our virtual conversation of which all I could recollect uttering were, "yes", "well", "okay", the call ended. The beginning of the year was quite cloudy. I had a lot on my table, yet my mental health was slowly draining- almost running out to about 1%. Mr. Obi was referred to me by a friend. However, unfortunately, I had just finished crying an ocean when his call came in. Not only was I empty-minded during the course of the conversation, I was also frustrated and could not wait to press the "red button".  When I was finally able to grab my pen, I made a GUESS at what he wanted. Hence...

I am Sunmola Khadijat Olabisi,widely known as DYNAMIC HAJIA,the author of the weekly times. HOW I GOT MY PEN NAME Well,Dynamic Hajia is coined from two separate words;dynamic and hajia.Dynamic,an English word,means changing. At inception,I thought anyone could be Sunmola Khadijat,so I decided to adopt a unique name and without much ado,'Dynamic Hajia' popped into my brain.First,I felt I wasn't born this way,a lot of things have changed about me ranging from my physical appearance to my Intelligence Quotient(IQ) and lots more,so I believe I am dynamic.As a striving Muslimah(Muslim lady) whose living and death are for Allah,adding the 'Hajia' make the world recognise me as a Muslimah,what a perfect match!I thought. So,I'm a Muslimah who has changed a lot of things and would still change a lot. MY PERSONAL LIFE I am a young lady full of fervour,who was born and bred in the ancient city of Ibadan,Oyo state,Nigeria though I hail from the antique town in...
