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

What were the dreams you had in childhood for the future.

First, I want to appreciate @patjewell for inviting to this contest, it is an amazing one.

As a child, my were told that all dreams are valid and that we could achieve the world if we wanted, the possibilities were endless, and we were so sure and excited that we could achieve them. As you grow up, hit with world's challenges from government and pressure from family, some of those dreams take back chair and never see the light of the day.

I dreamt of traveling the world, seeing the world in its different shades. Take a journal of every experience. I dreamt of teaching the world on a storm and making a powerful impact anywhere I go.

Career-wise, My dream for my childhood was that when I grow up, I will become a teacher like my mother. Those were the words you would hear me say. I loved speaking, and teaching knows new ones around me one or two things, but as I grew up so did these dreams grow up with me and change.
After a while, I decide that it was a lawyer that I wanted to be, then I would never agree to a thing, I would argue until the other person concedes to the argument in my favor. My family members started calling me a lawyer.

Who supported you in that dreams.

Every parent wishes for their children to be successful, becoming what they wish for and taking over the world. A parent's role should be to gently nudge their children towards being a better version of themselves. Often, parents tend to push their child their dreams and insecurities, making the child incapable of deciding for themselves.
My parents were supportive and guided me on what to read and do to fulfill my dreams.

Which one of those dreams have you achieved.

I teach, not in the format that I wanted as a child, teaching in the classrooms. I teach via my writing, with my writing I can educate thousands of people reading my business blog on how they become better in their careers. It may not seem much now, but I am birthing something bigger than what I had envisioned.

Which one did you not achieve, What do you think went wrong?

My decision of being a lawyer was taken out of my hand when I didn't get admission after applying to the university four times. I was frustrated with the system, wondering when I would finally be grateful for admission. Instead of waiting for more years, I applied to study Mass Communication at the Polytechnic. One of the best decisions that I have made.

My dreams of traveling will still materialize for me, maybe not now but in the future.
Anything is possible.

I invite @okere-blessing, @confydence and @emmanu to take part in this contest
