The various experiences we face in our life's has something either gained or lost. We may sometimes not realize it. However it is still there and it teaches us life lessons that cannot be easily forgotten. These lessons learned, play a major role in shaping our actions, characters, the way we think and react to different situations.

WHAT ARE SOME THINGS I HAVE ACHIEVED AND LOST IN 2022 OR SO FAR IN 2023

I have faced so many experiences over the past years that I have gained and also lost. These experiences has completely changed me. It caused me to grow to a new level of self development and mastery. In retrospect, I have indeed gained more than I have lost.

One significant achievement I have gained over the past year would be the scholarship I got to study medicine and surgery in the university. This was one exciting moment in my life. It was also an eye opener for me. Things in school were done differently from. what I knew back then. I had to grow and adapt into my new environment. It meant a new level or stage for me.

Another significant achievement for me is my enrollment into a fashion school. This was a big step in the right direction in achieving my dreams of being a fashion designer. Looking back now, at the many menial jobs I did back then to raise money for the tuition was not an easy call. At that time it seemed like an impossible task but thankfully I scaled through. I started about six month ago and so far it's going well.


With many achievements and gains also comes some losses. One major loss for me was the death of my grandmother as at this time last year. She was so dear to me. We had this special bond that even other family members and friends attested to. Unfortunately, death took her untimely.

Also few months after my admission into the university, we were preparing for our exams in school and mysteriously, my bag got stolen. It wasn't just the bag alone, but the content in it. Some of my important documents, ID card, phone and a significant amount of cash. Even my text books I use in preparing for my exams. All got stolen.

I was completely and totally empty. I didn't even know where to start from, or who to call. I felt empty, lost and stranded. It was due to the help of my family and few friends that I was able to get back on my feet. This is one of the unforgettable moments in my life.

WHAT LESSONS DID YOU LEARN FROM IT

There are several lessons I learned from each experience I faced. I learnt that hard work truly pays. When you put your effort and time to prepare for something like my scholarship, you are sure to succeed.

I also learned that to give up means accepting failure. No matter what the situation maybe, keep on fighting and persevering for you will surely find a way. This was in the case of my enrollment into the fashion school. Where I had to find all rightful means to raise money to enroll despite the lack of it as at that time.

Also the grief that followed the death of my grandmother was not easy. But the experience taught me how to deal with loss and overcome it rather than get consumed by it.

HAVE YOU MADE SOME PROGRESS THIS YEAR? TELL US

I have made some progress this year thankfully. I am halfway through my fashion school so that is a lot of progress for me. Also the steemit platform which I joined early this year has been going well. I have managed to accumulate some amount of steem which I intend to use to embark on a project soon. Although, I hope to acquire more. So these are some progress I have made this year.

WHAT'S YOUR PLAN FOR THE REMAINING PART OF THE YEAR

First and foremost, I intend on accumulating more steem so I can reach a high amount for the project I want to embark on.

Secondly, I hope to be done with my fashion school successfully before the end of the year.

Thirdly, I plan on giving my very best in my studies so that I can come out successfully in my field of study.
