We Cannot Do Life Alone.

Hello, everyone.

Welcome to my blog and another wonderful edition of the Hive Learners' featured post. Trust me when I say we cannot do life alone. I used to find it very difficult to associate with people until I realized that we actually need each other to reach our desired standards. We need that push and support from people to get to the height and level we actually dream of; failure to get the right circle means we can only dream of that level without actualizing the dream.

I'd be a liar if I told you I got everything I have on my own. Growing up until today, I was surrounded by the right circle of people. Helping me grow in every aspect of life, academically, financially, and in so many other ways. No doubt, the people you surround yourself with actually have a lot of influence on your life, and the path you follow is also determined by your circle.

If not for the right circle, I would have already ruined my life by following the wrong path and making mistakes that I'd regret all my life. I was not born into a rich family, but I am grateful for the family I was born into: a praying mother and a God-fearing father. They joined hands to shape me into who I am today, and even what I will become later is still all thanks to them.

I am not trying to boast, but my parents did a great job in the upbringing of their kids (siblings and me); they taught us all we needed to face the troubles of life. The foundation they laid in our lives serves as a guide; it sees us through every step that we take. We did not have enough, but we learned contentment; we learned to be happy with the little put before us, and we appreciated their every effort.

Not every parent that brought children into this world actually took care of them and made sure they were on the right track; they turned out differently. Made huge sacrifices to see that our needs were met. I remember when my mom's shop almost closed down so my elder sister's school fee and house rent could be paid, as things were so rough that dad could not raise them. Sacrifices are too numerous to mention just to make us happy; even when sad, they want to make us happy.

Not forgetting my siblings, we quarrel sometimes, but it never stops them from supporting me. They have been my major support system, aside from my parents, when I wrote exams and didn't do well. I felt depressed, but they were there to encourage me and help me get up. In so many ways, they have supported me emotionally, mentally, and even financially.

I am also grateful to my cousin David, a brain box indeed, who supported me when I was going to sit for my post-UTME exams. That night, he was like a God sent because everything he tried to explain was part of the question set. People too numerous to mention have contributed tremendously to my life.

I am also grateful to my hive onboarder; he deserves accolades for introducing me to the platform that changed my financial structure. Thanks to hive, gone are the days I depended on my parents for everything; now I can take care of my little needs without needing to call home.

Thanks for reading my post.
