Steemit Engagement Challenge S3-W1: My dreams in childhood by @josantos

Greetings to all the steemians in the house and in a very special way I welcome you all to this very season's engagement challenge. We are currently in week one of the season 3 engagement challenge and I am happy to present my entry regards the topic under review.

In my childhood, I dreamt of becoming a soldier. I grew up in the barracks and for that reason, I'm always surrounded by the military. Most times I go to their training ground alongside my friends. They normally allow us to watch because they felt we have no sense of our own. I always admire them most during the parade when they match and flip their guns.

I never stay a day without going to the parade ground because I always like seeing how they perform this function. I was never taught of becoming anything again in life other than being a soldier and always as a child I dream of seeing myself in the military uniform matching.

I was seriously alone in this dream of mine because my father has already declared to us all that none of his children will join the army. Because of this statement, I have doubts about my dream most time and for that reason, I decided to start exploiting other options to see which will at least be a bit suitable for me. A lot of soldiers in the barracks also discouraged me because they always say the job is not what they were taught it is.

I didn't achieve any of my dreams at all. I ended up at the university studying agriculture. I have never been taught about being agricultural in my life before as a matter of fact anytime I see people going to university to study agric, I feel they are wasting their time because farming can be done even without school. This is my initial thought. But when I got into the system, it was as if I was born to be an agriculturist.

I never ended up being a soldier and the reason is not far-fetched. Firstly, my father was strongly against my joining the army and the soldiers around also discouraged me as well. They normally tell me that the job is not the way I was taught it.

It is always rear or nearly impossible for anyone to become what he initially plans to be as a child. Most people are lucky enough whereas some are not lucky at all. My case is not an exception but I'm so happy with the field I find myself in. I want to invite @predomina, @jasminemary and @ruthjoe to join the contest.
