A 2020 Covenant University Graduate Set, Adelaja Oluwademilade has abandoned the opportunity of working at a big place for a teaching role in a rural community.
The Covenant University graduate said that teaching gives her a great sense of fulfillment than any other job
Nigerians took to her comment section to praise her strength as they wish her more success in the future
A young Nigerian lady, Adelaja Oluwademilade, who graduated from Covenant University in 2020 has taken a very brave decision to follow her passion.
In a LinkedIn post, she said that after completing her university education, she knew she wanted to become a teacher. However, peer pressure from seeing friends working in big offices made her apply for a job.
Adelaja revealed that despite getting good offers from different places, she was not just satisfied with any.
After going through a note she wrote when participating in a program that was organised for final year students in her school, she had a change of mind. In the note, she had outlined her plan for education in Nigeria.
The CU graduate took the courageous step and became a teacher in a rural area of Lagos, revealing that it was the easiest decision she ever made.
Despite Adelaja’s mother asking her to go for private schools that would pay well for her service, she did the contrary.
Her LinkedIn post partly said:
“I always wanted to work in a place where I would feel happy and fulfilled everyday and that’s exactly how I feel right now. My experience as a teacher so far has been amazing. Teaching is my service to God and Humanity and I don’t take it for granted.”
