My act of curiosity has led me to both good and bad, I am the type that is very curious to know more about something, should I say inquisitive, I love to ask many questions because when I am confused I need someone to clear the air for me.

During my school days, I had a lecturer that will just teach the basics and left us with concrete and intense learning, he will say go and read it on your own, so we named him "Lecturer Go and read it on your own"

His course was so bulky and interwoven, it is not a direct course, but this course is so interesting had it we have a good lecturer for it, because when I started to read on my own I found it so interesting but we need someone that has much knowledge about the course.

So the man came to class one day and he started as usual but I am far ahead of the man and also has a series of questions to ask the man, so I stood up and asked the first question he answered me but I was not convinced enough about the answer he gave me, so I asked the other question, I saw his facial expression, "it was like this girl you will be in trouble today" I know I am passing my boundaries by asking not only a question, he answered too but not still satisfied so we ended the class for that day.

I was not convinced about the answer my lecturer gave me and I have done my research about the course but am not still cleared in some aspects of the course, so I summoned courage and went to one of my lecturers that I know can shed more light on the course for me.

What led me to all this is my quest for knowledge, I was curious to know what happened in the 60s because the course was earth history, how volcanoes erupt, and so on, so when I got to this man's office, I told him I need some explanation on the course and he offered me a seat and the explained to me and I was satisfied with his explanation.

What led me to trouble was when the man was explaining to me the same question I asked the lecturer in charge that could not give me a direct answer, the man walked rightly into the other lecturer's office and saw me there, and saw that the man was explaining the same question to me because the other man asked for his opinion about the question and that was when I knew that I am in serious trouble

I left the office that day and went home thinking about what I got myself into, but to think of it I paid a huge amount of school fees why will I graduate and still lack knowledge about what I came to learn in the university?

The next week the man came to class and asked questions about the previous class and purposely direct the question at me, I answered but he said the answer is not correct and that I should get out of his class, now I smell trouble, but who sent someone out in class because of questions, my friends looked at me and sigh because I explained everything that happened to them.

I followed the man when he left the class and explained to him not to be angry but he said I am too full of myself and he doesn't want to see me in his class again because I know more than he does now, What!!! How will I handle this?

The next day I went to his office again because I do not want to be in his black book and wanted to graduate in Peace, because he can delay me in school, I do not have power over that, so I pleaded with him and he said and I quote, that am I know saying he doesn't know anything, I said no, I was on knees begging this man because any mistake is an extra year for me in school and I know what he can do, so I followed this bible quotes that says "Render to Caesar what is Caesar's". So I pleaded and pleaded with my friends with me but this man just turned deaf ears to our pleading.

In his next class, I was seated in class and when he came in he said I should leave the class, I was pleading and he said if I did not leave the class I will be the one to handle the course for the day, I don't know what to do because I do not want to put my mates in trouble and I do not want to put myself in more trouble I would have agreed to lecture them that day.

So I left the class and went directly to the head of the department (HOD) to report the matter but not in a harsh voice just to plead with him and allow me in class, so the HOD follows me to the class and called him out and talked to him about the situation, that was when I have peace with this man.

If not for the intervention of God and the HOD, I would have landed myself in trouble because of my curiosity to know more about what I was taught in class.

Thank you all for your support and comments, this is my entry for this week episode of #hl-w71e02.
