Your certificate is not your life

in #life6 years ago

I graduated from FUTA in the year 2012, misplaced my UNIVERSITY certificate along side with other documents (Birth Cert, Cert of State of Origin, Pry & Sec school certs ...) and found them today (02/02/2018) after 6 years?   Has this limited my development in anyway? NO.  I'm humble to say I've trained in Europe and across Africa, Whites, Blacks, Professionals to Rural Farmers with no certificate.  I've moved from one powerful fellowship to another: YALI, LEAP Africa, Global Shapers, ONE in Africa, Africa Changemakers, Carrington Fellowship of the US Consulate to mention but a few.  I was invited to the G20 Summit by The Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development, BMZ Germany where I led different sessions and also part of the team who wrote the Berlin Charter "Creating Opportunities for Young Generation of the Rural World" without a certificate.  I train with local and international organizations: ECHO International, Grooming Leaders for Agriculture, IIGL, NYSC...  Most importantly, I founded ProtectOzone where we alleviated extreme poverty and improve the livelihood of indigents through Sustainable / Smart Agricultural Practices.   Your certificate is not your life, know what you want and go for it.
