My Story
I was privileged to be born with a silver spoon, I had my parents most especially my dad who was willing to push me to any extent and go to any extent just to make sure he sees me excel when it comes to my education, unfortunately, one day, we lost him to a fatal accident that occurred on his way back from work.
My world came crashing then I realized what life was all about, I realized life wasn't what I had envisioned it to be when dad was alive. I tell people I learned life the hard way and indeed I learned life the hard way.
I was still very young and still in Grade one when he passed away and because I didn't want to fail him or drop out, I pushed myself to finish college. When I was done, I decided to start working to help my widowed mom was now sick and had been bedridden for a year and some months and to help my brothers in their education to make sure they all finish college instead of furthering my education.
I hopped between two jobs to make ends meet and had no time for myself or to have fun as a young teen because of the responsibilities I was shouldering. I had no one to talk to or advise me when I was confused
Two years later, I decided to try out my first relationship that lasted for just one year and ended because I found my ex cheating with my friend. I tried other relationships but none worked out because I was beginning to have trust issues, so I decided to take a break from relationship issues.
I learnt that life doesn't always give us what we want but we always have the willpower to get what we want as the quote says; if life gives you a lemon, make a lemonade out of it
One of the things I feel I don't like about my story is the fact that I had made a whole lot of mistakes I wouldn't have made if I had someone who was there to guide me around life.
Notwithstanding I am not disappointed about my life story because I am happy it taught me a lot although, at a tender age, I wouldn't have known if I hadn't passed through such experience.
I became who I am today because I learned determination through my life journey as an alone lady trying to meet her needs and that of her family.
To complete the rules of the contest, I came across 
Where she talked about her and her spouse's journey to adopting q child and her fright about being a good parent and how terrified she about carrying babies.
In her writeup, here is the line that got my attention;
We were teased heavily by others. Some people can be mean without them realizing it. They would say we still need training so we can successfully make our own "project" (about a baby). We'd poke the fun back saying we are still dating so they shouldn't rush us and they would just roar into laughter afterward.
It wasn't easy though, especially during our early years. Back then I easily get hurt and I would tear up the moment I am out of people's sight. I'd pity myself and would run a lot of questions that I don't even have answers to. I was just glad that as the years went by, I became accustomed to the teasing and even accepted to a certain degree that we may never have our own.
Reading through that paragraphs, I realized that for us not to let our experience or challenges deprive us of being happy, we've got to learn to not listen to what others are saying about our situations, we've got to learn to accept the situation and look for a perfect way to overcome our challenges. Although it's not going to be easy at first but for our mental health we have to live above our situations or challenges, we have to learn to make lemonade out of every lemon life throws at us.
I am sorry that my entry is coming late but I had to join in the contest because I had it in mind to do it from the first day but have been quite busy for the past few days now.
