I was rejected a few days ago!

I was given what Nigerians call 'a soft landing' rejection. I think my efforts and feelings were put into consideration so, I was not blatantly rejected. I was just not reached out to to proceed further.

Last year, I started a learning journey that would have led to a somewhat global opportunity for me. Somewhere along the line, after the program got to the second phase, I was cut off from proceeding.

I only just found out a few days ago that some persons had been reached out to to proceed to the final stage. And, I felt downcast. It felt like all hopes were lost. I wasn't even functioning for days because I tasted once again what it means to almost 'get there'.

However, I was able to snap out of it on Sunday, during Church service. My understanding was opened to the fact that I got a rare opportunity to be on that platform in the first place. Until a few months ago, a version of me would never have thought possible. I connected with certain people and also tried to explore a new world.

So, this post is to say thank you to UNITAR, Microsoft and LinkedIn for the learning opportunities. Also, a big thank you to Nkeiru Lois and Irene for the opportunity to connect with you.

Finally, thank You God for growth and opportunities! More to come!!

I'm sorry for your opportunity loss. But as they say when one door closes, another one opens! Keep growing and glowing my friend!

 Thank you so much, Cheri!! I appreciate you!! 🤗
