Life itself is a risk we take everyday. Going to bed is risk because some sleep and don't ever wake up, also waking up in the morning is also a risk, because we don't know what that day holds for us. But we thank the Almighty God,who is able to keep us and see us through,for in the good and bad times we should always give him thanks.

Life has come with so many challenges,good or bad and fortunately enough we have been able to go through them successfully, through God's help,and the will to live through those days.

In this contest I will be talking about my good day and bad day experience and what learnt from them and how the have affected my life positively. I will start with the bad day and then talk about the good day.

MY WORST DAY

HOMELESS FOR 3DAYS

I lived in the city of Aba in Abia state for close to 8 years, just me without my family. I was a student of Abia state polytechnic,and there was a time I had to school and work to be able to fend for myself. My family and friends supported in ways they can,but I still had to do more.

Forward to 2019, my house rent got expired and was given quit notice to leave immediately, I beg the landlord for extra 1 month so I could raise the money and pay, he agreed of course, but after one month I couldn't raise the money.
He came one evening and angrily asked me to leave the next day. That same evening I dressed up,locked my door to spend the night else where,just to buy some time.

I got to a friend's house stayed for two days but those two days I was just wandering looking for a house with an agent,to no avail. That same day my friend asked me to leave her house , that night I cried my heart out, I was so frustrated, on the other hand my landlord was calling me to come pack my stuff,that he has already given out the apartment to someone else. On the third they I saw an apartment,but still no money to pay. Bad enough I was on one outfit for 3 days. That evening I prayed to God for help, because I was so tired,weak and frustrated.

The next morning,I received a call from an old friend who asked how I was faring, I opened up crying, he asked for my bank details and sent #90,000 as against the #120,000 I needed to pay for the apartment. I took the money went to the new landlord and begged him to allow me move,that I will complete the remaining rent of #30,000 the next month,which he accepted. That was how I came out of the house issues.

LESSON LEARNT

I experienced what it is to be homeless,and trust me, it's not a funny experience. You get to appreciate having a roof over your head,no matter where it is. I have experience many challenges and pressures but those 3days were the worst days of my life.

MY BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

THE DAY I HAD MY BABY

Just as I have had bad days, I have also had good days too. But I will share with us the recent best day that I had.

I conceived last year (2021) and my due month for delivery was January this year (2022). My edd ( expected day of delivery) was supposed to be on the 3rd of January this year, but on the third nothing happened. Went for a scan and the second edd given was 7th of January, on the 7th nothing happened,no labour, nothing. The doctor decided to give me 5 days gap,if nothing happens within that one week I will be induced. After 5th day, that's 12th of January, still nothing happened. I called a friend,carried my bag and we went to the hospital,and waited to be induced the next morning.

The next morning I was induced by 4am and labour stated by 6am. I was a painful experience really,but the the joy of seeing my child at the end kept me going. It was a long and hard labour which lasted till 7pm in the evening, good 12 hours. At a point my body could no longer carry the pain, I passed out. I was rushed to the theater for an operation to get the baby out. The next time I woke up was when the doctors were done with the operation and the nurse brought my baby for me to see. I had the biggest smile on my face, so much joy in my heart, because of the bundle of Joy showed to me.

My new born

Out of the theater,and all I wanted to see my baby ,the gift of God beside me,the joy is unexplainable. The is 5 months now,and joy is always new everyday. He is growing very well, healthy and strong.

My happy child

LESSON LEARNT

I learnt not to panick and fear when things are not working,or when things are not working when it should. I have also learnt to be a good mother to my child so far.
