Nigeria is the most populus country after China in the world. About 5% of its citizens are infected with HIV. There has been an awereness in the media, press, goverment official, NGOS,schools etc to stop the spread of the virus. Yesterday, there was a stage performance in my school on HIV/AIDS. I was there and the perfomance was intresting, at the end of the show the counsellors asked us to come the next day to  know our status and that the whole thing will be free.

 I am sure of myself and before I used to tell myself "there is no need to know my status,I am negative" but after the drama I was a bit scared and this morning I went for the test to clear my mind.Though I am sure of myself,i was scared. I went through the whole process of couselling and all that and they took my blood, it took them like five minutes and my result was ready and geuss what...hehehehehehenonono I am NEGATIVE!. You should have seen me today, so happy, singing and dancing to my friend if not for anything I now know my status. please my friends AIDS IS REAL and prevention as they say is better than cure. Thank you.

Character is what i am.... reputation is what people thinks of me. Before, i used to work on my reputation thinking i will find fulfillment there but no, outside people praise and respect me but inside i was sad, that was not the real me and I was always on gaurd so that people will not find the real me.

In the process of finding inner peace and confidence, i worked on my self (character) trying to be honest as possible and willing to learn from everybody. Everything changed, what i was trying to achieve with my reputation for years i was able to achieve that with my character in a few months( trust, happines,confidence,freinds...etc) though at first it was hard for them to believe in the real me.

I live in a society where there is too much pretence and you know the excuse they always give is thet "they want to belong". A friend ones said " i know he is liying but i love to hear those lies". To me if you can't love the real me then you don't love me period.My advice is whatever you do be honest and do the right thing and you will win even if you "lose".

I was a perfectionist. I always blame myself each time I made a mistake. some of my friends were not happy with me because most  of the time I am always over cautious.

           I prayed that time that GOD shoud help me not to make mistake again. He revealed to me that I can't live thrugh life without making mistakes that what matters is how I react to it. Instead of the blame that I should learn from it so that next time it won't happen again. I discovered that over cautiousness has place a limit on my productivity as a person.

    Now I try new things(good ones oh!),even if I fail ,I will just learn from it and move on. It makes me happeir than before. Everybody makes mistake and some learn from it  so why can't I learn from my own. The young you will see tommorrow will better than the one of today because I learn everyday.

NOTE: To be cautious is good but over cautious is bad.
