My mum defiled the odds and went back to school when she was well over 50years as the state government won’t promote Nurses without a BSc degree beyond grade/level 14.

I can’t forget how one of my essays during my Master’s degree was marked down claiming that “my essay was too grammatically correct for an international student.” I was so annoyed and wrote a lengthy response to the Academic Review team and they had to start apologising.
Paul Graham's absurd claim that using words like "delve" indicate ChatGPT reveals his assumption that everyone shares his linguistic limitations. Like US and UK professors who punish Africans for using English their limited knowledge tells them such students can't possibly know.
@ImadeIyamu
Apparently such essay isn’t expected of an international student who is not advanced in the use English language. Trust me, in a number of cases, only the most well travelled and exposed people will treat well you without condescending in most academic settings.

How I wished people like you understand that marriage is a 2 way process and “can two people walk together except they agree?” How do you want me to marry someone from the same church where there’s a rule of engagement on how things should be done.
Do you think she’ll marry me
I don't feel sorry for you. It's not compulsory to get married in a church. The lady has been right in front of you and you outsourced your life to a bunch of insensitive individuals then come on here to lament. I wonder if it's Christianity you're practicing or slavery.

Failure to plan can spoil the excitement of "welcome to a new dispensation" & also put your studies, health & social life in jeopardy.

Sometimes, we're not sure of the kind of future we want. Other times, while we're at the edge of the desired future, we battle with doubts about if we're making the right decision.
However, with FOCUS on what we'd love to be, God will lead us in each step of HOPE! Keep going 🙏

For some of us, it’s not just about being in a relationship or getting married. Our fears, prayers, goal & deliberate act of patience is to avoid the complex circumstances and challenges our loved ones & close associates have found themselves in their relationships & marriages.

One of the worst things to do is to date or marry a stingy person.
