My 2025 Chapter: "A Successful Year"

To be honest, 2025 has been one of my best years ever..!! Although the year had its own ups and down, but it was a year full of postivity, learning, helping, and growing through conversations like this one. Every day brings new questions, new ideas, and new people to talk to. So, it’s been a good and meaningful year on my side. When the year began, I set out my plans and goals that I really wanted to achieve for the year. Plans like achieving resolutions for personal growth, gaining admission into higher institution, health, finances, relationships, saving more, exercising regularly, learning new skills, and strengthening social connections, etc. Most of these plans were achieve this year. My God has been so faithful to me this year and I return all thanks to him.*

Firstly, am so happy about the admission I gained into higher institution. To be honest, When I accepted my admission, I was so happy and sad too at the same time. I was having a mixed feeling. Why? This is because I was happy about the admission I got, and also sad because the finances to use sponsor me wasn't available at the moment. I cried unto God to send down my helper to me. Before I could knew it, God used my uncle and my parents too to make everything a success, including my matriculation, etc.

2025 feels so different. It’s more than just another turn of the calendar; it’s a wake-up call. This is the year I stop dreaming and start doing. I put an end to procrastination, because its a thief of time and opportunities. This year, I faced my fears, quitting self-doubt, and taking that first uncertain step. During the mid year, it was still school time. I had some friends that came around me, trying to distract me from my goals and potentials, but I refused to it. As you all know, there is a popular word that says, "Your friends will either make you, or mare you" So, these friends I talked about are friends that really wanted to mare me and make md take off my interest in what I actually came for. But, with the spirit of God in me, I was able to resist them and shifted my focus on my goals.

When it comes to my finances, as a student, 2025 has been a year of navigating financial pressures through careful planning, seeking multiple income sources, and developing strong personal finance habits to manage the high costs of education and living. I had to engage myself into some side hustles in order to survive in school, and indeed, my hard work actually paid off. From my side hustles, I was able to pay my textbooks, type projects, and other little expenses at school.

In Summary, my year was so good because i eliminated procastinations, diatractions, etc, and put my trust in almighty God who has always been in the picture. Thank you all for engahing in my post today. I invite my friends @chilucky @marrying @kachy2022 to join this contest.
