MY NYSC STORY- Diary of a Northern Corper

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

                     - Acts 1:8

To the ends of the Earth..

.

This kept ringing. What was it about "the ends of the Earth"?

You'll find out soon!

Hi! 

My name is Chinyere Karen Odoemelam.

A Christian, Content writer and storyteller.

So glad you found time to stop by and read my story. Thank you!

I'll be sharing what my experience has been like from the very first moment I accepted my call-up and obeyed the Clarion call to serve Nigeria up until now.

I perceived the NYSC period to be a very special phase of my life and I've always been so eager to share what it's been like right from day one.

I'll be sharing my moments of pain,  tears, confusion, fun, fears, frustration, excitement, laughter, adventure and so on.

I hope to capture as much as I can as I continue in my writing.

Will you promise to stay with me till the end? 🙁

I think I heard a yes. Yay! 🤗

Back to my story..

I was in Imo State, Owerri attending a one-week PERSPECTIVES training at the time. I can't explain how I got there in the first place (it wasn't planned at all 😑).

I had just been mobilized for NYSC and was expecting to see my call-up any moment.

Surprisingly, the whole process was delayed by a week (I was really wondering why NYSC had decided to postpone camp for this particular set).

Anyways, my people, it was during that meeting or training that the earlier stated scripture had left an imprint on my  heart  -to the ends of the earth.

I didn't know what that meant until I saw my call-up letter on Thursday morning by 12:20 am 😑

You don't want to know what happened when I eventually did  *faints and wakes up*  ...lol

I'll continue telling in my next.. will I call it episode or chapter now 😄

Thanks for reading up until this point. This is supposed to be an intro post before other contents will keep rolling in.

I hope to have you back here again when I post the next happening.

I'm not quite sure about how frequent my updates will be coming up in a week but I'd really like to put out new episodes every week.

This, I'll figure out soon. 

I hope to also share the lessons I learnt at each point in time.

P.S: Help me stay consistent here, will you?

You can always check up on me when you do not hear from me for too long.

Thank you for being a good friend 😊
