My excitement has been building for the #dreemport challenge this month. The first week of the marathon has been over for a while, and week two has begun. I'm determined to make it to the end of the marathon, and I'm putting in all of my efforts. I hope that I can make it to the finals.
The tEEm members were asked to decide on a symbol that would live on in DreemPort history. Everyone had a unique idea, but the team decided to go with the flat palm, representing a barrier, while the fist is breaking through.
It symbolizes the team's belief in breaking through barriers and working together to achieve great things. The team was so pleased with the choice that we decided to make it the official symbol. It was also edited and made to be well presented, so we can use it in our post.
Below is the symbol we chose.

All Teem members were asked to submit their ideas before we decided to use the symbol. We chose the symbol above because it represented the core values of our team and conveyed the message we wanted to communicate. We believe this symbol will help us stand out and make a lasting impression in the marathon.
As soon as I read the announcement post, I had a symbol in mind, but one of my teem members dropped it on the group first, so I had to come up with another one. I quickly brainstormed a few ideas and eventually settled on a different symbol.
Below is the symbol I chose.

The hand wrestling symbol.
It is an ancient form of competition where two people compete by trying to pin each other's hands to the table. It is believed to represent strength, courage, and determination and is often used as a form of bonding between two people.
Now that I reflect on this symbol, I recall that it was what inspired my classmates to give me the nickname 'Eba,' a food staple (swallow) popularly eaten by Nigerians worldwide.
Hahaha, you might wonder why my classmates named me after a food staple. They gave me that nickname because they felt I ate a lot of it, and it made me so strong that I was able to defeat all the boys during the hand wrestling competition. I guess they were right because I was the champion of the competition. I was proud of myself for winning, and I embraced the nickname with pride. I now take it as a compliment. Hahaha.
So, just like the Limitbreakers, which is my teem's name, we are unstoppable, and there is no barrier we cannot break. We have a strong bond and a never-ending motivation to strive for better results. We will continue to work hard and break boundaries to achieve success. The objective of our team is to ENJOY, LEARN, SHARE AND GROW as a TEEM.
Thanks for reading this post. We will never stop pushing ourselves and each other to become better versions of ourselves.
