What was the act of kindness that impacted your life? Describe the situation
This life itself is a challenge, so growing up in some particular environment or region, life will give you lessons to learn and it will either deformed you or mold you.
WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS NOT ON SCHOOL UNIFORM?
When i was in form five (5) or in primary five (5) or class five (5) as it was fondly called then,my dad kicked the bucket (died) and am left with my mom and my two siblings with me being the first son. So at tender age i start parental responsibilities which my mom being a woman can't catered for all our needs because we're Petty Farmers that feed from hand to mouth.
So i was forced to stop schooling after my elementary level (primary school) going to farm every day to ease my mom some stress and at the same time help the family.
So it was on this fateful day that one of my uncle who stay in the town came to village on vacation and noticed that i always went to farm while my mate's are always on there school uniform. On the third day of seeing me repeatedly trigger him to send for me and our discussion goes like this. NGLU! WHY ARE YOU YOU ALWAYS NOT ON SCHOOL UNIFORM? and my answer is,WE CAN'T AFFORD and he nodded in dismayed.
And he finalized our discussion by saying from today you'll not only stop going to farm, rather you will go and live with me and be going to school.He also help my mom with some funds to put up small business that will help the family. That's how we're all relief from our stressful situation. The experience is an unforgettable one that change us in a blink of an eye.
What were the emotions you were feeling at that time? |

The experience had before then was overwhelmed with alot of challenges.i feel rejected by the society because it's believe that of any one not going to school is not relevant to the society. at the end of it all I was relieved of the stress and was appreciated by a fellow by act of kindness.
Although am still young to understand what potential my uncle see in me that gives him the zeal and courage to offer us help with his warmth and kind act, but I was overwhelmed with Joy and happiness. I that's what i remembered as my emotions then.
