Good day wonderful people, hope your day is going on well, this is the first contest topic in this month for this community so am saying a happy new month, this is me ushering you all in to greatness, open doors, favours and many more packages that awaits you. I would be participating on the contest topic: childhood dreams...
Back in those days when we were not particularly having much to worry about, when we were actually dependant on other people, when we just play alot eat in excess went to school and sleep at will during the day, yea I was actually describing what childhood looked like to me, in those times I dreamt dreams not actually dreams where you have to sleep first before dreaming but about dreams where you are much awake imagining, planning, mapping out the way our lives would take shape even before they began, so in my words I would say I dreamt, yes I really dreamt big big dreams.
My dreams was to finish secondary school at the age of sixteenth (16th) go to the university at the age of seventeen (17th) then graduate at the age of twenty one (21), go for my youth service and finish at the age of twenty two (22), I was not even thinking of furthering to masters PHD or any thing else that is to show you a child's mentality how I did not even know that aspect, so I said when I finish my services I would be working looking forward to establishing my self and May be at the age of twenty four or twenty five (24/25) I should be thinking of getting married, isn't this plan so perfect 😁✌️.
But no Nigeria said they had a bigger plan for me, you know this thing they said about you graduating as a certified doctor but end up doing okada to make ends meet, my own case was from problems with WAEC results to having issues with admission to all kinds of frustrating issues which lead me to learn a skill but truth be told acquiring of that skill was not totally my idea it was my mom that talked me in to it even though at that time that was not what was in my mind all I wanted at that time was to go to school but finally I decided to learn that skill called tailoring got done with it and I would never forget to appreciate that woman who saw the best for me and kept pushing till I get there which made me now a seamstress🪡✂️🧵.
Well apart from the me planning down my life with me tagging the years assumed to finish I also wanted to be a lawyer I think at that time I did not know what was my drive but I know I always kept singing it and saying it to every ears that cared to listen that I wanted to be a lawyer but as God could have it I did not accomplish that dream but I know that if there is life there certainly should be hope, I see people acquiring more than two certificate in different field of life so am working towards studying it after am done with what am studying now, if I have the opportunity I would want to study it but I know all hope is not lost yet I still have a long way to go.
Haven said all of that I would want to say all hope is not lost for a y one out there who thinks he or she has deviated from their dreams whether willing or forcefully and are still wishing they would have gone through that path, it is not too late because if there is life there is hope, I in person had dreams back in those days and growing up I have advanced in my dreams, I have set out more to accomplish and my earnest prayer is that nothing would cut me short 🙏.
It has been such a lovely time with you all, thank you for reading thank you for commenting and thank you for voting, it is because of such love that keeps me pushing, I still remain your favorite girl@graceze do have a lovely month ahead.
