Christianity - Overated?

 24th November 2024_24/11/24

I just had to write the date out in numbers when I realized that it's a unique date.

Today's my Tech Lady's birthday @ifbnw - you can check her out on IG through the link - I'm glad that I found her online.

When we talk about people who can expressly be themselves, she was the template that I believe the Lord gave me. Bold, intelligent, young, beautiful, and the real Tech Lady.

I've always been a techie now that I think about it. Way before I stepped into the world of Computer Science, I had always had a way around computers and other tech gadgets as well. I remember when my dad started a cyber café business, I literally had my first experience with computers then. I'd almost always found myself in the shop, learning how to type or probably playing a computer game. 

Now that I think about it, my life revolved around the computer even in those days. I remember my parents getting smart phones and I somehow had a way of maneuvering my way around the phone, the most inquisitive parts of myself popped out then because I literally wanted to touch every single app on the phone. I later realized with time that I could get solutions to basic phone problems from the internet, and use it in solving issues that normally would have been paid for. Talk about the tech girl in early bloom.

My admission into school as a computer scientist is one I'd consider a step ordered by God. I didn't know that there was a course like that in Uni, neither did I know how I would get there but somehow, I found myself in the department. 

I had overheard a classmate talk about Computer Engineering and I found interest in it. This happened just before I was about to enter into the University. My whole family was deliberating over what I would study in school and if you know the lead courses, you'd know what everyone expected. At it's top though was studying medicine or engineering and I sincerely did not want to study those courses.

Imagine my joy when I came to the house telling my dad that I wanted to study Computer Engineering. It was still engineering right? He surprisingly went with my idea after my older siblings had also suddenly supported the course as well and so, comes the journey to get into school.

On applying for my JAMB (Joint Admission and Matriculation Board) exams, I was told that the course, Computer Engineering was not available in the university that I applied for as my first choice and you could imagine how sad I was. I was sure that I had double and triple checked this course and it was there but during my registration but yet, it somehow grew wings and was nowhere to be seen.

It was later on that I discovered that there was Computer Engineering in the school though.

I went for the next best thing that seemed to be available, and that was Computer Science and so, my journey in the Tech world officially began. 

Today, tech seems to be my life and what I revolve around. The social media in fusion with computer/data science somehow keeps ringing in my heart. 

You see, I barely had a relationship with God then, but He was already ordering my steps. Today, I'm full-blown Techie and I love every part of it. 

Are there more things that I can do? Yes!

You'll find out about it with time but for now, enjoy the techie TKT.
