As the year wraps up, these are some of the most life-changing statements I strive to live by. I hope they help🖤

Self-discipline is consistently choosing what is profitable over what is acceptable.

✅Admitted into UNILAG for Computer Engineering in 2017. ✅I struggled financially and took on private tutoring and piano gigs outside school to keep up, working with the skill I had at the time. ✅I never had a bedspace from Year 1 to Year 4. I squatted, sleeping on floors, concrete, and chairs countless times. On good days, I slept on a bed that wasn’t in the best shape. ✅Towards the end of 2021, I sold things like paper and drawing instruments to raise 100k and got myself a laptop. ✅I got back to coding in 2022 after a break of 6 years and started Software Engineering. ✅In the same year, I applied to many big tech companies, interviewed with a few, but ended up being served the rejection plate all round (100+). ✅Particularly, I got rejected by Bloomberg in 2022 after the final round (it took about 2 months of interviewing) for a summer internship role. I took the feedback, worked on them, and trusted God. ✅In 2023, I interviewed with Bloomberg again, this time for a SWE Placement Role (to use as my SIWES / IT). Thankfully, from interviewing to getting an offer took only two weeks. To be continued.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ ( Ephesians 2:4 - 5 ). The day you find Jesus is the day you start living!

Lock in with Christ first🔐

Grateful to be back @Bloomberg as a full-time Software Engineer.
