Comedienne,
Helen Paul, has gotten herself a Master’s Degree from the University of Lagos.
In an era when Entertainers drop out of school on account of their career, the
humour merchant, mother and wife was able to graduate from the Department of
Theatre Arts.
Helen,
also known as Tatafo, says that she went back to school because she enjoyed the
course. She however acknowledged that it was not easy combining work and school
with taking care of her home.
She said,
“I believe that education expands a scholar’s horizon and develops innate
abilities. As an entrepreneur and entertainer, my going back to school to seek
more knowledge will better enhance a mastery of the profession, vocation,
calling, or art that I practice. That said, education is a continuous process
and never stops until the Creator calls. Life itself is a school and so, it’s
my desire to continue learning, in and out of school.”
Helen Paul
said that what kept her going was the fact that she was determined.
“It’s all
in the mindset. Today’s choices, they say, are tomorrow’s realities. I’ve
learnt that no matter how challenging a situation is, once you have made up
your mind to succeed against all odds, you can overcome the obstacles and
succeed. I just decided that it will work, of course whilst depending on God’s
wisdom. I set daily and achievable goals for myself and set out to achieve
them. I also have a family that understands the demands of my work and I get
help from loving people whenever I need it,” the comedienne said.
