Back in secondary school, I was not exactly the nicest senior. I was in the boarding house and I will not lie, I used to flex my seniority on some juniors. It was the normal thing then, but looking back now I know some of those actions were not right. Fast forward to today, one of those same juniors, who was three years below me then, is now in a very good position. He recently reached out and said he could link me up with a good job in his uncle’s company. On the surface it looks like genuine help, but my mind has not been at rest since he mentioned it. You see, I keep wondering if he is actually trying to help me or if it is from a place of mockery. And even if his help is genuine, I am scared of being the subject of a moral story about how unscripted life is. Seeing as he was my junior by three years, who would have figured that years later, he is the one that would help me get a good job. The thought of becoming the subject of that kind of motivational talk, is another thing that is making me hesitate. At the same time, I know the reality of the job market. Getting a good job is not beans, and I need something stable right now. Also, from the pride angle, it does not feel easy to collect help from someone I once bullied. I just wanted to share this here because sometimes you need other people’s perspective to clear your head. I guess I am just hoping that members of this community will tell me it is okay, and I should go ahead and let him help me.
