The Day My Emotions Got the Better of Me

Yesterday was a crazy day for me, I tried as much to take control of my emotions and feelings, to continue be filled with positivity regardless of the situation I was in but I lost control. My emotions set in, I fell down, angry, exhausted and sad.

I got home at 8pm after leaving school. My place is not actually far from school so you can easily imagine the time I left school. We were all busy working on project report, slides and the project itself. As for me, I could have left school probably earlier but I didn't even have the strength to get up from where I sat in the first place and at the same time, I didn't want to leave my project mates alone while I started heading home; I wanted us to go home together.

My emotions yesterday were due to the fact that my supervisor sly me. Sly is when someone disappoints you or, in a way, deceives you. It all started in the morning: getting my new drone propellers and fixing them to the drone, and later telling my supervisor about it. I told him that the drone is flying but the issue is that we don't know how to fly it to land properly so it is possible for the drone to crash and the propeller to break again. I also mentioned that it is the last set of propellers available on the market and if anything happens to it, there is no way we can get it within Nigeria again.

He insisted that the drone is not complete without knowing how to land it and I must fly the drone and learn to land it. I didn't want to fly it any longer but because my supervisor insisted and was putting the whole blame on me, all I wanted was to prove him wrong.

This time, I called a friend who is also experienced in the drone, like the same level with me, to drive the drone, but when he tried the drone didn't land well, in fact, it fell mid air and the last propellers available broke. I was like Damn it.

I laid down straight on the floor, not knowing what to do. I was feeling so pained and thinking about how much money had been spent alone on buying propellers. I could feel the pain and sadness, but I tried to clear my thoughts away and continued to remain positive and energetic.

One of my project partners went to inform my supervisor about the broken propeller and he came straight to ask me about it. At that moment, I saw my project partner laughing behind him and I laughed a little, and my supervisor got angry about I breaking the propeller and not being able to land it well. I tried to explain to him that it was not my fault and he kept lashing at me, He was also angry that I could smile even with how the situation was.

In my mind, I was like, because of this, should I now cry? I got pissed, angry afterwards. I tried to control my feelings to not care about anything he said but thinking of the fact that he insisted I fly the drone and learn how to land it regardless and then changing it at me really hurt me so bad.

This was why I got home feeling that way and so tired. But anyway, I am feeling better and passed the whole incident
