share with us your Rejection experience and how you handled it.

Yes !!
I have experience rejection once in my life
It's when i was in in jss2 ,There is this competition going on then,its say that any three best student from each school , that won the competition will be given scholarship to any school level they wants to study

I was among of the selected student in my school .we were ten in number ,as the organizer of the competition only needs ten student from each school

For sure!! I studied my books , i burnt my mid night candle because i need the scholarship more than those of my classmates

I never wants this chance to pass by without me grabing it

On the competition day ,we were given exams to write ,it was english, maths and general paper

I know i write very well because i found almost the qustion simple and easier because i studied my books

Guess what!!!

At the end of the competition, i was rejected because we were poor,we could not paid the huge amount of money they requested from those criminals for registration of another exam for the winners in other to know the best

My dad said he has nomoney at that urgent time

I cried ,i beged them to participate but the refused, they reject me because of a crime i don't commit

"Is it my fault that we are poor?" I always ask. But i never get the answer
I know that the answer will be given to me one day

I handle the situation with prayers.

knowing that God will answer my prayers one day

I trust in God that one day he will wipe away my tears with a better and a greater scholarship and also transform my family and other people going this to the same fate with a great riches and wealth

Were there lessons learnt, kindly share with us and encourage others going through similar experience.

I learnt alot of lesson from that incident which include:

Knowing were you belong,knowing you class and the people you have to mingle with, because had it being that i know that that competition is only for the rich ones ,i won't have joined the in the first place,i won't have waste my time and energy for the preparation and i won't have crack my brain in vain at the exam hall

From that one i learnt to know were i belong and also be patience brcause God time is alway the best

The encouragement and advice i have for peoples going through similar experience is that they should never stop pursuing your goal

I know dealing with rejection might be difficult
So therefore you have to have patience,always practice self care ,give you self time to heal and don't let it consume you

Never see rejection as a failure but always see it as the opportunity to learn

Thanks for reading ,i hope you lean alot from my experience

I will like to invite @victorlives @chant @goodybest to participate in this wonderful contest
