Dear Olumide,
I received your letter recently ,n which you enquired about what I intend to do after my final school certificate examinations.
Actually, right from the day our final examination time table was released, i have been thinking of what will be the next step after the examination. Everybody knows me for one thing that is: I don't like staying idle or lonely. I have pondered over what I can embark upon. and I have arrived at some plans which I think will benefit both my family and myself.
After my examination which is scheduled to ast for about a month I am planning to join my parents in their business where I will assist them to monitor the activities and sell wares in the stocks. Apart from assisting them to attend to customers, I also want to have experience in buying and selling of such types of stocks for future purposes.
This is not the only thing I intend to do during this period. As you know that I cherish education a lot, I have included it in my schedule that even if I am helping my parents in their business, I will also register with one of the tutorial centres in my neighbourhood in order to get myself prepared for the next JAMB examination. I don't want to stay long before gaining admission to the university because it is always encouraging to acquire formal education at early age when the brain is still fresh and active than when one gets old.
Friend remember that my parents are pharmacists. but I want something different from that whenever I want to choose my career. My primary ambition is to become a medical doctor over which I have sought the advice of my parents. I have been working tirelessly towards this which was the reason I chose the subjects I registered for in my final SSCE examinations.
I have discussed everything with my parents and they have agreed that I will be in their shop while I also attend tutorial classes for my examinations I was even commended for coming up with this idea and they have pledged their full support for me when the programme commences.
Olumide, I hope you too are planning for how you will spend your time after the examination. Try to be wise because time waits for nobody. I learnt that your elder brother is travelling to U.K. next month. I wish him goodluck. You too should try to work hard, so that he can help you to U.K. after your education.
Extend my greetings to your younger brothers and sisters, your parents and everyone around you there. I shall be expecting your call as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Adewole.
