When I saw this question the first thought that came to mind was the song "childhood" that was written and composed by Michael Jackson
Have you seen my childhood?
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth like fantastical stories to share the dreams I would dare, watch me fly.
Before you juge me, try hard to love me.....
My little me🤣🤣🤣one of my treasured
pictures.
My childhood was fun I made lot of friends and had good times and bad times.
I'm the first child of my parents and a blessing to their marriage. We lived in a public compound so close to the road that sometimes you can't hide from anyone and nobody can hide from you so we see things.
According to the information I gathered from my parents, I started going to school at a very early age my mum said I was a year and nine month hen she enrolled me in kindergarten.she said I was so eloquent in speaking and I had this American accent.
True to it, each time I speak in public people tend to turn around to look at me, staying in a public place I stay outside my house I usually greet people while they pass and each time I greet them they feel so happy that they gift me money and sometimes goodies such as sweet, biscuits and juice.
I remember one time a man followed me home just to know who my parents were and where they were from? he was marveled to find out that my parents where topical Africans ( Nigerians to be precise) after a long conversation with them he encouraged the to keep giving me the best education and that I should study law or mass communication.
I remember so well how I envisioned so many times at the mirror how I would speak to defend someone or something in public. I was so passionate about it.
I remember one time after my secondary school I got a job to work as a sales girl in a shoe shop, each time I welcome and speak to customers they feel so amazed and some would be like " this job doesn't suit you, you are suppose to be working in the bank or even with a law firm" . They relate so well with me and some even tip me after purchasing.
Yea! While we make plans about life, life happens..I didn't study law as I intend to I studied a business related course and my parent was supper excited and proud of me. My dad expecially make reference to me when ever he want to reprove my siblings.
Some people think I'm forming the American accent without even knowing the real source of it, it's just a gift. Some feel intimidated by it but I can't change it I just adjust into speaking pigin English sometimes which doesn't even sound well when I speak .
And yes I still have my British accent it's always my selling point 😄lol I can convince you to buy a product and without much delay you will buy if need be.
