JUST DO IT

 Hi guys🥰 welcome back to my blog.

Guys, I've hoarded sooo much that I don't usually know where to start sharing 🤣. 

Lemme start from the latest gist. It's probably going to lead to the other gist. So guys, sometimes in March, on my faculty Whatsapp group chat, someone posted that there was vacancy for student ambassador role and interested students should send a mail to the email address attached. The message was forwarded so I was a little discouraged to even give it a try. “A lot of people would have applied jare, I do not stand a chance plus it's not even for my Faculty so why bother” so I thought. However I asked myself “what's bad in giving it a trial? Getting a No isn't the end of the world naw” and with that I sent the mail, I didn't even write so much story.

Some days after, I got a mail that I'd been scheduled for an informal chat in a month. In my mind, a month lon lon.

Like my people will say “oju lope si”. The day came, I went and I got the role. So guys, permit me to re-introduce myself🤣 I am Iretioluwa Oyediran, a postgraduate Student Ambassador at the University of Salford.

My first duty is to attend a conference where I'd also speak about my postgraduate journey. Literally, I'm getting paid to tell “my story”.

I'm excited because this is me leaving my comfort zone. I've always been the girl backstage. I usually say I communicate better by writing than speaking but here is Salford saying “Iretioluwa, the stage is yours, do with it whatever you deem fit”. This is me harnessing the opportunity in my community. My postgraduate journey is a testimony, and I didn't think I'd be sharing it past this blog. You can imagine my excitement. I do hope my story will give hope to someone to keep on holding on.

Today's motivation will be JUST DO IT.
