During my academic career, I got involved in this kind of situation, I had the passion for auto-mobile engineering because I loved cars and any car I saw at that time in our yard, I will always like to Open the car engine and see those things inserted in the car in order to know the components of a car.

I told my parents I wanted to become an auto-mobibile engineer but to my greatest surprise, because my parents were not financially boyands they told me that after my secondary school I was going to learn mechanic, this thing said by my parents got me angry and I cried, I started thinking of how to generate money to write my WAEC and JAMB, I did so many labourers work (Like hawking banana, plantain, even frying of Akara Koko in other to source money) but yet all this didn't affect my studies.

The money I happened to realized I used it and pay for my JAMB without my parents knowledge, when the results for both the JAMB and WAEC came out, I scored 301 in jamb and WAEC too was great, I showed my parents the results my father was happy and sad at the same time because he thought the results was a waste because there were not enough fund to support my academic dreams, fortunate enough because of my score in jamb, I was given a scholarship to study auto-mobibile engineering in any school of my choice, and currently I am in my final semester in the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria.

Determination gave me the courage to stand against my family financial status and poor background, I wanted to change my family situation, I didn't want to be a mediocre, I wanted to be something great that everyone will look up to in the world. All these wouldn't have been done without determination.

The way I handled my parents advice because my friends were also in support of my career, though I read the story of many myths and legend, I discovered that they came from a similar background like me, that to some extent my family background is ten times better than theirs but yet they became great men in the world.

I didn't pressure my parents into paying my exams fees, but I worked hard myself and prayed always to God and now I'm in the university through scholarship. had it been I followed my parents advice in learning mechanic I wouldn't have been where I am today. Thus, what ever you have passion for, go for it or do it with all your hearts and pray always, your star will shine someday.
I'm inviting @josepha @suboohi and @bossj23 for the contest.
