Hello lovelies, hope you all are doing well, I'm purity Okon by name but @ purityy on steemit, today I will be sharing the experience I had while in the hostel, after the first day my dropped me and left I knew i was in another world, I met a senior student who asked me to be her school sister which I accepted, she helped me take my things to the hostel, show me where I will keep my things and where I will drop my bed, she was such a nice person but am asthmatic patient, the funniest part is I still met her in university and we are in the same level now.

She gave me few orientation about the school and the hostel, I changed that day she direct to the dinning room which we took our lunch, at the dinning table different senior student came in commanding student and beating people I was shocked, because that was not how dinning hall should be, but who am I to question them, it was that day I learned how to use cutlery and eat, my mom bought small knife instead of the normal cutlery for me, one senior walked up to me and seize it from me, I was sad I had to report to another senior student but everyone paid deaf ear to my complain.

I couldn't used my hands to eat so I used only my spoon and fork, before eating we prayed and after eating we prayed too, their food was nothing to write home about, up until today I don't still know the soup I ate, nor know the leaf they used to cook the soup, at that point I started crying, wishing I never asked my mom to bring me here, we finished eating and everyone went to their different hostel for siesta, hmmmm, my people when we get to the hostel, seniors were counting for us to climb our bed, the last person to be on bed was punished, and if you sleep with your clothes on another punishment, after few minutes of resting we went to prep class for reading that one too, we were told the last person to get to the class will be punished, so we were running.

Almost everything we did there in the hostel they were always counting for us and I don't know why, while at home my mom was the one doing certain things for me, going to boarding I had to start adapting and doing things for my self, my school sister do assist in some things like washing of clothes and helping me fetch water in the morning while I do my morning duties, fetching of water there was by connection, because seniors must finish filling all their rubbers and bucket before junior student fetched, there are times I won't bath to school because I was not able to fetch water, I was doing fine with my school sister when a senior came to me and wanted to be my school mother.

Saying I must stop what ever relationship am having with my school sister and come to her, I had no choice, because there if any senior comes to you for one relationship or the other and you refused, your name will be sorry so I had to obey, I was her school daughter for only two weeks when she abandon me to someone else more prettier than me, I start roaming alone in school, I won't lie life was rough for me in the hostel, nobody to run to it was only me, myself and I, by the end of the first term all my school uniform have thorned, while everyone was ironing their clothes I didn't have any one to iron for me, punishment was everyday, my experience is long which I won't finish in this write I will continue in my next write up.
