INTRODUCTION
Hello, hello ๐๐,
Everyone, how are we doing today, it's good to be here in this engagement challenge season 3 week 1, it's exciting to express my desires and the dreams I had during my childhood, thank you steemkids for this awesome opportunity to participate. Follow me to see how far!!.
Childhood is an attractive time when children believe almost every dream and aspiration that crossed our mind without checking the pros and cons. Childhood makes one very enthusiastic, hopeful and totally believing that whatever we imagined or dreamed about in our hearts will simply be achieved without any iota of hindrances. With our sincere hearts of expecting those our dreams and aspiration to come through. But most times it's turning the other way round, majority of young people's dreams and aspirations never came to pass for one reason or the other, we will keep dreaming.
Woohoo ๐, childhood is a big treasure to everyone. I don't think there was or is any child without a big dream and plans to become one thing or the other while growing up. Most times those dreams are never completely achieved by one reason or the other. Some other times we achieve some or all of those dreams.
WHAT WERE THE DREAMS YOU HAD IN CHILDHOOD FOR THE FUTURE
When I was a child, I had the dream of becoming a nurse of the highest level. Below were the other dreams of other things I wanted to become in life in the future:
- A nurse.
- Traveling abroad to Toronto in Canada as a single lady to work as a nurse.
- Getting married later in life.
- Giving birth to 6 children, 3 boys and 3 girls.
- Getting married to a carrier civil servant.
- Having two family cars one for my husband and one for me.
- Having an elite family that is respected in the society.
- Having a God fearing christian family.
WHICH ONES HAVE YOU ACHIEVED AT THE PRESENT
Wow, God has been very, very faithful, most of my childhood dreams had been achieved by God's special grace and helps.
TRAVELING ABROAD
I have been able to travel abroad and lived there some years, had my baby there, though not Toronto in Canada but to Hong Kong in Asia. At least I have been able to achieve that among many of my childhood dreams. ๐๐.
I HAVE ACHIEVED GETTING MARRIED TO A BUSINESS MAN, HAD 3 CHILDREN INSTEAD OF 6 I ADMIRED
God helped me to get married on time, had 3 children and not 6 as I so much loved to have, that is to say I have achieved marriage, and having children. By God's own decisions, not mine, but I'm very grateful ๐ฅฒ๐ฅฒ.
I HAVE ACHIEVED AN ELITE FAMILY THAT IS GOD FEARING AND IS RESPECTED IN THE SOCIETY
My family and I are enlightened, we are respected in the society, this is God's doing and it's marvelous in our sight, we are a family that is practicing christian living and we have peace, praise God!!!. I have been able to achieve these ones too as I dreamt it at my childhood stage of life for the future. We together have achieved riding so many cars but they do not last too long. Cares were not problems to my family but they have been short living. Looking at my childhood dreams, I'm excited many have been achieved and many are on the way for achievement.
WHO SUPPORTED YOU IN THOSE DREAMS
First of all, I would like to thank the Almighty God who has made most of my childhood dreams come through and are fruitful. It's by his grace that we are not consumed, I'm grateful ๐ฅฒ. God is my first support system, then my parents did their part by raising me up accepting and supporting my childhood dreams one by one, but I I was never a nurse because of my father's demise in my secondary school. Later in life, I studied human resources management in the university instead of being a nurse I so much loved, but it's ok.
WHICH ONES DID YOU NOT ACHIEVE, WHAT DO YOU THINK WENT WRONG
I did not achieve becoming a nurse because my father died when I was a teenager in secondary school. Paying school fees for both myself and my siblings became hard for my mum alone. I then got married and had my university education in my matrimonial home combined with child bearing. It was tough but because I desired it, I became very resilient and later achieved my university education. Today I'm a graduate!!. I achieved my primary to university education.
Conclusion, just be focused on whatever you believe to achieve in life, it may be very tough, some distractions may come but be consistent, find a genuine way out of any cloud of failure and come out of it, you will laugh longest at the end.
Thank you everyone for standing by to read my post, I'm excited ๐๐๐.

Sometime It is but very difficult for one to predict something and actually achieve that same thing but I must say that in life, every thing happened with a reason and that is why most people dreams of achieving setting things but ended up not yielding any of them .
I can also see that you hard a lot of things to achieve in life especially becaming a nurse ending up not achieving it because of what happened to your father and you mother could not fulfill that promises because the load was heavy for her but today
Dispite the fact that you also had ambitious of traveling to toronto but did not succeeded but you were able to travel to Hong Kong asia which is do not change fact that you travel and also a mother with three kids should God have really been on your side all this wide and I believe a lot more is still to happen
Dispite everything ,we still give glory and press to God for he is the want that know the beginning and the end
I wonder how you communicated in hong kong oo, and good to know most of your dreams where achieved, and having 6 children is a wild dream ma, ๐
Greeting and blessings
In Kong kong, we usually communicate with them by signs, or they'll write on a paper what they're saying, or better still call an English language interpreter to talk with you, most of them were very friendly, and that island is very beautiful and clean, as we're walking along the road sometimes, most of them will be taking pictures with us randomly, touching our skin to see if our dark colours can stain their hands, giving us gifts, it was an awesome, laughable and a beautiful experience. But that was in the 9 ties, I don't know about now, because we blacks were very few living among them, so they were glad to see blacks with their bare eyes and not in films or in televisions. Sometimes it was embarrassing some other times it was fun ๐ ๐.Thanks @olabillions, it was a sweet and unforgettable experience. Thanks ๐๐๐
Oh my ...good to know they where very friendly people.
Indeed you are right because all children always have big dreams when growing up and I'm not so surprised of your dreams and I'm glad you have achieved most of your dreams most especially as you have gotten married to a business man and you guys have 3 children now.. hahaha dreaming of 6 children is remarkable and I'm impressed hearing this from you. However, I still think you can still have the 6 Children if you pray to God for the strength and guidance
I am also happy to hear that God and your parents have have been in support of your dreams all along. I pray God continue guiding and protecting you. Stay blessed and safe my dearest mom
Hahaha, ๐๐๐ @chiabertrand, the dream of 6 children has been transferred to you and my children not me again, mine is done and dusted. Over to you the upcoming guys, make your choice. ๐๐๐๐
Holy Moses....๐๐ ๐๐๐, I cannot fit na.... 6 is a whopping amount and if God can give me 3 children then I have tried my best
Thanks for following my own philosophy of 3 children which is ideal, you know then I was just thinking and planning like a child. But now I know better, ๐ thanks.
Wow! 6 kids! You were very brave as a kid to dream that my friend. I think it is so cute๐
Life seldom turns out the way we want it to. Can you think how pretty boring it would have been if that was the case.
Good luck for the contest ๐ค๐ป
Thanks very much my friend, God is extremely beautiful and wise, if it had happened the way I wanted who knows how we would have looked like now that the whole world is facing serious challenges, he would have taken care of us all no doubt, but it could have been stressful, thanks for coming around.
Wow i love that you avhieved most of your dreams and you have a christian family who are well respected and love God
What other achievement could be greater
Thanks it's God's doing, not man's making.
