_{picture of my family}

See how beautiful their faces are with a 70% smile. I sat down last night and recalled everything my family has done for me in order for me to achieve success. I woke-up this morning feeling agitated and so they were, so i took a cute picture of them. What's really special about this particular picture? Let's begin.

My Family My Pride

"Bernard, you know you're the only son of this family and your success in life will be my only happiness". I nooded and said to her "Mama, I'll make you proud, all i need from you is your words of stimulant and support". My mother promised to support me till i find success and that's exactly what she has been doing.

My mother is not alone in this, together with my beautiful sisters, they join forces to make me happy and succeed and the only boy in the family. Let me compactly tell a story about my family and how deep their love for me is.

I graduated from my secondary school academy in 2016. My plans was to acquire a skill, architectural skill to be precise, but unfortunately i couldn't exceed that far because my mother's fist hits her chest so hard. To feed 2 times in a day was like a war between the Biafra, so hard and grueling. "Why is it that difficult for us to raise money for my skill acquisition, I'll start begging" i said to my mother. I was depressed and nearly at the edge of quitting.

We prayed together as a family and God answered our prayers, yes he did. We were paid by one rich man to look after his farm when he's not around. My mother took this opportunity as a golden chance to raise money so that i start skill acquisition. She laboured and toiled together with my sisters under the rain and sun just to push me further. I had a heart problem then that's why i couldn't touch a hoe to work as they did, i felt bad and so emotional😥.
