-Hello, my name is Olamide (O-la-mih-day), but feel free call me Ola. I'm an undergraduate student and freelance radio host at University of Galway. Like many of us, life for me has been full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations and everything in between. Growing up, I struggled with my mental health and overall sense of direction in life. Pardon the cliché but, I'd always felt like I was a bird with large, beautiful wings and an incredible potential to fly but unable to use them because I was trapped in a cage. I found myself perpetually caged by my own mind and unable to do anything substantial that would provide me with the life satisfaction I desired deep down. Don't worry, this isn't a long winded sob story, I'm just providing you, dear reader, with the context from which you're meeting the Ola you see today. I vividly remember the classic "where do you see yourself in five years?" question posed by my parents, teachers and potential employers alike. I remember how difficult I had found it to dream big, plan for the future and ultimately offer a suitable answer. Because, quite frankly, I couldn't envision one. Anytime time I tried, my mind came up blank. Like the static on those old TV screens during a storm.
+Hello, my name is Olamide (O-la-mih-day), but feel free call me Ola. I'm an undergraduate student and freelance radio host at University of Galway. Like many of us, life for me has been full of ups and downs, trials and tribulations and everything in between. Growing up, I struggled with my mental health and overall sense of direction in life. Don't worry, this isn't a long winded sob story, I'm just providing you, dear reader, with the context from which you're meeting the Ola you see today. The COVID-19 pandemic was a challenging time for us all. However, it was during that period of global stand-still and mandated isolation that I decided that I would use all my pain to fuel a passion to help people who have struggled, people like you and me. But first, I had to help myself.
 Helping myself started with further exploring my relationship with God, receiving counselling, going back to college and developing meaningful relationships. All of which were incredibly difficult at first, I must admit. After a few years of wrestling with who I used to be, I won a few rounds and my confidence started to grow. I rediscovered my appetite for growth and worked on maximising my life satisfaction by opening myself up to as many value-adding experiences as possible. These experiences helped me better understand myself, what I want and how I can contribute to society. I started going to church, applying myself at university and volunteering with charities. At university, I connected with the chaplaincy and completed the Seas Suas training to support student wellbeing, I discovered the IdeasLab and completed entrepreneurial development programmes like CreateHER, and I even started a radio-show podcast, LOMAH, which amplified creatives in my community and engaged with difficult topics on the human condition. I started to feel alive again, and believed I was ready to expand and offer support beyond myself. I volunteered with Jigsaw, a mental health charity and  became an advocate for youth mental health. I facilitated philosophical inquiry for first year students via a peer-assisted learning programme and I held LIFT roundtable discussions on positive leadership with other students at university. Hey, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, I also experienced some hard times and failures but I had learned to no longer let those define me and accepted them as part of the vicissitudes of life. So, where I am at now?
