Dear Chris,

I trust you're good, It feel so good to be writing to you at this stage of your life. How is mum and dad,I trust you're also taking care of your sis, mercy. Keep loving her...smiles

I want you to carefully digest this letter am writing to you.Everything I will be telling you at this point are to be taken seriously. Well you can trust me on this as I will be speaking from the wealth of knowledge and experience I have gathered so far. It has really not been easy all these years.

The first thing I would want you to know is that life is beyond wishes, it is very easy for you to wish as a kid,infact our instinct as kids sometimes tell us that the whole world belong to us and that has in a way made us dreamt unrealistic dreams, thinking everything can be gotten on a platter of gold.

Well I later found out that it is never so. I had to go through a lot to get some of the dreams I dreamt achieved. At a point,some of those dreams had to change because it became obvious that there were unrealistic,an illusion.

Another important thing I would love to let you know is that you're your number one fan. I know you always love it when people cheer you up especially when you do beautiful things and most times that applause has always inspired you to do more.

Well I later discovered that you can only enjoy that for a season as you have to man up to face the seasons beyond where you will be the only one encouraging yourself.

I know at this point,you're wondering why am saying this...you are wondering and asking where would the supporters be at this point ? Why wouldn't they be cheering me up?

I know these and many more are the question on your mind. well the reality is that they will still be very much around you but then,they would be to busy to cheer you like they used to. Some of these people would even ignore you and assume you're old enough to carry on with life.

At this point,do not be discouraged,take the bull by the horn and always remember that you're first your fan before anyone else. You only see these people come back to celebrate you and cheer you as usual when you achieve things against all odds.

Then it will dawn on you that they have always been around,they have just been too busy with other things. So you don't need to hate them,rather love them because they are also facing life just like you're.

Am sorry I had to write this much to you,trust me it all for your own good.The very last thing I will like you to hold on to is that you should always trust God. It is really pertinent to let you know that after putting all your calculations together,it is God that make it all complete and perfect. So a man can propose but God disposes.

I call Him the G-factor, always factor Him in as the first even before any other things because other things are variable. He is the constant. I can't overstress how much God has helped me inspite of the wrong notion I started out with,He still help me find my path and also helped achieve a lot.

Come to think of it,who do you think stood by me when others got busy and deserted me? Well your guess is as good as mine. It was God and still God. With Him your calculations can never go wrong because in his Mercy He will help you find your path.

Oh lest I forget,do not give up on your dream to become that accountant you have always dreamt of becoming. I know you don't like arithmetic but the truth is it will be needed for this discipline you have chosen, and the only way out is to love it,perharp getting a private coach wouldn't be a bad idea.When you show genuine interest,you will catch up with time.

so i will advice you math maths your friend as there will be alot of calculation to do. Do not also forget that it take a lot of dedication and commitment to study,so ensure you give this your best as I can't wait to celebrate you.

Once again,am sorry I had to write so much in just one letter but what would you rather have me do, watch you until you make mistakes? Never,not under my watch. This is why I took it upon my self to give you this timely word of advice and encouragement so that you can be fully prepared for the days ahead.

Do well to extend my greetings to your friends @ruthjoe, @olabillions,@simonnwigwe @josepha @jueco @msquaretwins and to the ones whose names I can't really recall.

Your upgraded version,
Chris♥️
