One fine day in March 2017, I was assigned to ward rounds for sample collection. What that entails is that I\u2019d go to all the wards to collect blood samples of patients who couldn\u2019t come to the laboratory for testing. I entered a particular children\u2019s ward, D1 and I almost passed out. There were crying children in pain on every bed surrounded by their loved ones suffering alongside them. I rushed out as casually as I strolled in, found a place to throw up and sobbed like a baby. It was my first time in that ward. There and then, I realized I had chosen the wrong profession. I wasn\u2019t cut out for all that emotional drain. To think that I was devastated when I wasn\u2019t able to study Medicine (smh<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n A quick trip down my memory lane; I had graduated from studying Medical Biochemistry and Genetics at Delta State, University in August 2015. In March 2017, I was serving my fatherland in a General Hospital somewhere in Minna, Northern Nigeria. This was where the eureka<\/em> moment happened for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fast forward to December 2017, I had completed my NYSC program. I\u2019m here, a confused graduate totally uninterested in pursuing a career in her field of study. On one of those confusing days, I decided to have a conversation with a senior friend. I ranted about how I needed to get a job, any job but nothing related to healthcare. He asked me to take a personality test<\/a> and send him back the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The results opened my eyes to some of the innate abilities that I had overlooked. I was exposed to other career paths I\u2019d excel at based on my personality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With new self-knowledge, I started to look for opportunities to intern in a customer or general people relations role. I didn\u2019t get anything exciting until one morning in February 2018 as I scrolled through my timeline on Twitter, I saw this tweet by the team:<\/p>\n\n\n\nA New Journey Begins – Work at Cowrywise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
