Hey Fam, let me start by confessing that this is my first ever blog post. So pardon my little little errors and share your thoughts to what is written and please place your comments *smiles*.

I must say that gathering and putting this thoughts together wasn't easy as i said to myself 'Michael do you know what you are doing'?  But at least let me try and give it a shot. Let me start by saying I've been a college graduate for two (2) years now and my experience outside the four (4) walls of school has indeed being an experience and an eye opener to which i have gathered a bit of wisdom.

While in school, I've always loved to be an active participant of school activities and not being a spectator as most college student. I got involved in student leadership and training, followed and grew my passion for music by joining the school music band in which i was actively committed to service. There were times when i thought to myself why am i stressing myself with all these extra curricular activities because after classes which closes late in the evening, i normally run to meet up to my commitment and i said to myself why don't i be like other students who just go to their rooms and rest till the next day?

It was now i understood the importance of those things i called stress back in the days as it shaped me to a better man in which responsibilities can be confidently handed to you and your employer will be rest assured that the set task is going to carried out and thus increasing your ability and capacity to do greater works.

Let me quickly state my point for this post. As an aspiring graduate who is about coming to the other side of life, you can get soft landings if you have a fore knowledge of service as men and women of the real world are looking for young guys and ladies who they can entrust various responsibilities to. If you have a mindset of negligence, laziness and refusal for service while still in school, its going to follow you to the real world and there you'll find difficulty in being accepted in a workforce or securing a start up job. 

So my friends, never shy away from every opportunity you come across to serve. Do you know that while in service, you come to the realization of your inward potentials being given to you by God? 

Early involvement in service develops you, brings out your hidden talents, shapes that talents and gives you a sense of direction to take to the next level.

As i round up this post, here is something to think about “At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done.

We will be judged by "I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.”
