Steemit Engagement Challenge S6/W5 - What were some of your childhood dreams, and how did they come true?

Hi steemians,
Welcome to my blog. Today I want to enter the third entry for this week's engagement challenge. In this noble community, the topic talks about 'What were some of your childhood dreams, and how did they come true?' I'm going to state my dreams as a child and how I was able to accomplish them.

As a child, I wished for many things and among which is becoming a priest or a computer scientist. Being an altar servant for quite some time made some fall in love with the priesthood and that activated my desire to serve the people of God as a revered father. Also, seeing the wonders of computing and technology, I wanted to combine the vocation with a profession.

So, I had dreams to study also outside the seminary and get more knowledge on how to manipulate the computer and probably become a good programmer. In all of these, I always know that I must achieve one because I worked tireless daily towards the set goals.

My wish was to be in a vocation as well as a profession. But the wish to become a priest didn't come to pass because most times it is a call from God. I made many attempts by applying to different congregations and even went to their interviews but didn't get admission into the seminary. When I saw this, I decided within myself that it may be that God is not calling me in this direction hence I decided to change to the other dream I had.

The dream of becoming a computer scientist. I wrote the entrance exams into the university and I applied to study computer science and I was given admission. I started the study and I learnt more about programming today I can say that my dream has finally come to pass or been fulfilled.

As I have said above, the steps I took to accomplish my dream were quite simple. I didn't just fold my hands and then get it done but I went ahead to work towards it. I wrote the entrance exams and then passed very well because I studied very well and God was also with me. I got admission and then I studied so well and also ensured that all my courses I passed them.

The stress was not an easy one though but I was determined to get to the level hence I spent more time reading and researching new things and innovations also I always seek problems and then try to see how they can be solved using programming. This gave me an edge over my fellow students in class.

At my finals, I was also able to learn about the steemit platform though without much knowledge of it at then but with the little knowledge I had, I was able to introduce the platform to many what was interested and today they are quite very amazing in the platform.

Everyone as a child always has a dream that he/she prays to be accomplished when they grow up. Sometimes these dreams come to pass but at other times they don't. My case is not a different one. I have dreamed of becoming both a priest and a computer scientist, and the aspect of being a priest didn't work out for me because spirituality and desire alone won't give that to you but the desire to be a computer scientist was accomplished.

So in many cases what we desire doesn't come through because that may not be our true destiny. I want to invite a few friends to also join this contest today. I call on @ubongudofot, @nahela, @steemdoctor1 and @waterjoe.
