Challenges and situations will make a man think of different things including dreams and wishes that their level of coming true is very small, hardship will make man wish for a life that isn't theirs..
Oh you might be wondering how strange this topic is but it is something we all have thought about in one way or the other especially when we are going through a lot, the thought just comes to our mind and speaks into our heads and i am a good example of this case....
There was a time i needed funds for my senior secondary school certificate examination, then my dad was on leave and the payment date was closing soon and that thought entered my head and guess what it was???
I sat down in my balcony and thought of having powers, the power to swap a life and to be someone else all because i was going through a lot and i wanted to swap my life with that of my friend who comes from a wealthy family and still isn't serious with his education....
He has a wealthy family but he isn't serious with his education and i who is serious needed funds to chase my dreams and then the thought just came into my head and i just smiled and went to bed....
This thought birth today's topic and it says"if i had the opportunity to swap my life with someone, who would that person be and why that person????
SWAP A LIFE....
As i said in the introduction to my topic, if i had the opportunity to swap my life with someone else, that person would be my best friend and i have stated part of the reason why i would do that above but i will share more light on it below....
Imagine coming from a family where money is never a problem, food, clothing and luxurious things, all this thing are not a problem in your family, if you are privileged to be born into that family, will take your life for granted or focus on your life and achieve greater things???
This kind of opportunity is what most middle class men are longing and wishing to have and someone doesn't even know the worth of having it and take every of his life for granted....
WHY MY BEST FRIEND??
There are one million and one reasons why i have decided to swap a life with my friend but i will just give one reason and explain better...
I have a friend that comes from a wealthy family and also he is the only child of his parent and as the only child, he has been pampered all his life and hasn't tasted a bit of the outside world, i am talking about the life of 1-0-1, 0-1-0...
He gets everything he wants but as a last child he was spoilt and therefore he grew up to devices and gadget and now it is affecting him...
We were neighbors in my former house, they have a house opposite my house and when it was time for SSCE, we both went to the same tutorial and that made us bonded well..
He was not to bright academically but he has the look that attract girls and his dimples and as his friend, i spare time to help him out but he never listens to me, whenever class is going on his seat is always in the back with the girls, i have talked to him on several occasions but he told me he would pass his exam with or without studying...
After trying my best to help him and seeing as he has decided to not learn and follow skirts rather, i had to leave him because he had started pulling me back with his actions...
In some month, the exam was finally here and i passed my exams once with 6 Bs and 3 Cs, i waited for my friends result and guess what???
He had E8 in his core subject and now he his preparing to write the second SSCE after trying to make way with his GCE which he also flopped in...
After thinking about all the money his parent had wasted on his lessons, form, registration and transportation, he still didn't make his exams, would that not make his parent unhappy??
I thought about all his mischievous attitudes and how i wish i could just swap my life with his and let him have a taste of hardship and see if his brain would not come around...
In summary, it was just a wishful thought then which is not something bad, we have the right to think, wish and dream, it is normal for humans to dream...
In conclusion, i slept and dreamt about it but i thank God for where i am today, i am living fine and okay and now preparing for admission into higher institution and now i think he has also passed his SSCE and will be processing admission soon, i am happy for him and myself....
