It appears that many people are now tired of this life, and are just waiting for the slightest provocation and they would just kill themselves. That is so bad. If this lady had heard people’s stories, she would have acted wisely. There are so many people who spent 7 years in the university for a 4–year course. They did not kill themselves. They still pressed on and graduated at last. Though the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

********************* Why would you kill yourself because you failed an elective course?. Even if you have a carry-over does that mean you have to terminate your life because of that? The parents of nowadays young folks need to sit them down and teach them logic of life. There are many great people in this world who were not really great academically but their names have reached the corners of the World. Rotimi Williams one of prominent lawyer and the first Nigerian to become a SAN in this Country graduated with 3rd class. Before his death, some judges cannot dare him because of his competency. Frank Lloyd Wright one of American greatest Architect always have C grade when he was in school. Before his death, he became one of the renowned Architect in the World. There are many other people like that. Mind you there are many Rotimi’s and Frank lloyd’s classmate who were more brilliant and nobody recognized them. Academic pursuit is just an integral part of our challenges in this World but ability to make good thing out of bad ones is known as achievement. This girl has failed as an achiever.
