😭😭 When Will This End? Our 5-Year Course Is Becoming a Lifetime Sentence
I'm tired already... 7 years ago, I began my journey studying Medical Laboratory Science at Imo State University, filled with so much excitement and hope. This was supposed to be a 5-year course, but here I am, 7 years later, still a university student and a dreams-on-hold graduate. 😭😭😭
We haven't even written our professional exams, and no date has been set. It's been over a year since we signed out, yet we're still stuck in limbo.
Meanwhile, my set and even our juniors in other universities have already been inducted (licensed to practice).
Now, we're being told we might have to wait until 2027. Can you imagine? A 5-year course stretching endlessly in my country. 🤦
The fact that my parents keep asking what's happening, and I have no answers for them, is truly excruciating.
This situation is heartbreaking and deeply frustrating. I've lost interest in so many things I used to enjoy, and I'm not alone, my colleagues feel the same way.
If there's anyone out there who can help us, please, we need you. 🙏
As they say, a silent voice is a missed opportunity.
Don't let us suffer in silence! 🙏😭
