Dear 2020 Graduate

First I want to congratulate you! You did it and you are done.

Most times you would hear, so what next? Where are you going to go and what are you going to do?

If you are graduating from high school, you might be asked if you would be going to college and if you were graduating from college, you might be asked; is it graduate school and or joining the workforce? And if you graduated from graduate school; our Nigerian people will say- Well Done, translated I think as a Good job. And if you were graduating from elementary school to middle school and or to junior high you are not forgotten.

Congratulations everyone! You worked hard and I might add, congratulations to your parents too for encouraging you and helping with homework/ taking you to and from school too.

So what next and or wait! What just happened?

Corona Virus happened!

All those plans you made, now what? Were all those years in vain?

I will say nope! Those years are not in vain and do not think that this little set back in time can keep you or should keep you from going for those dreams you had.

Even if you did not have the chance to wear your cap and gown as you planned; you can still do that! I have seen people on Instagram (check out #2020graduation) to see how many people celebrated graduation. Some people had drive through graduations, some were celebrated by family and friends albeit 6ft apart, and some plan on taking pictures when all this is over.

I will share about someone you already know about- Joseph from the Bible. He had dreams and he encountered obstacles upon obstacles but he trusted God. And in the end, he became the man God wanted him -Joseph- to be. If you want to read the complete story of Joseph in the Bible check out Genesis 37 to 50.

I want to say again, Congratulations, and do not doubt your achievement because of this season- aka Corona Virus. Seasons will pass and so will this one.

If you have questions about going to work right after college; I will love to answer them. Reach out via email theizorapodcast@gmail.com

Congratulations again my friends! And feel free to share how you celebrated/ plan on celebrating with me on Instagram @izorapodcast!

And until the next episode-

God bless,

Ezanya
