It was on a Sunday morning, this Sunday happened to be the Sunday have decided to travel back to school after going home to have the christmas celebration
It was just a two-week break but I decided to add a week and one way or the other rounded my break up to a month
It's time to get back to school and get back to learning, the holiday is over
I picked Sunday of all days to travel because it's always stress-free and the road is always less crowded
My journey was a smooth one and within an hour and thirty minutes drive I was already in front of my hostel gate, trying to find my way in
Only for me to be prevented by a big dog I have no clue where it came from or do I say I do I just couldn't believe it
let me take you back to 4 weeks earlier before the break
A lodge mate got himself a Rottweiler puppy that we all are familiar with and play with
This puppy could hardly bark nor do so many things, but my lodge mate said with better work on him he would become the security dog he planned to make it and so he was in school with him all through the break with vigorous training,
and in the space of one month over the break, the puppy has been trained to become a security and not just any but a good one
And now that same puppy was the one doing his job perfectly, asked my friend how he made that happen and he said a whole lot of work and not giving up
That right there was what motivated me to get better at my spoken word in school to be recognized and then I began to put in a lot of work from January, did more writing, and research sometimes got rejected but growth wouldn't make me give up
In the journey of life, it's important to always have a transformative one, the type whereby it's obvious you are growing, could be mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, the important thing is to grow
To become a better version of what you dream of
Life will not always go as planned, and Sometimes its just demand we address whatever challenge it throws at us appropriately without a notification
The only way we do this is when we become better than the last time we got knocked down
Growth is never easy because it comes with stepping out of your comfort zone and sometimes the hurdles to grow can be so challenging but all these are part of growth and it's okay to encounter them
Growth is a journey because there's always a better version and position to attain
One major growth over the past year has to be how I got recognized in school with spoken words
This is one big win for me each time I remember how I got motivated I smile to myself and say "growth is good"
My previous post talked about how I got a prize doing spoken words
Growth made me better
Having to accomplish that over the year is my major growth
