Ten over Ten
10-04-2022
Today is the second Sunday in the month of April which coincidence as a palm Sunday. A palm Sunday is a Sunday before Easter. It is created to mark and celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
I attended a church service after months of not doing so, as I worshipped in the church of a friend of mine; who is also a writer on this platform @Tobias00(pay her a visit).
Today's Article
I didn't know what to write, as I was just pondering on what topic to write about. Then I remember a song once popular in my country "Ten over Ten"
Oh the song was released in the year 2011. (Oh How old were you then 😅). Well I got inspired to write today's article from the song.
Why Ten over Ten?
Well today is tenth day of the month, and I have been able to publish an article each day since the 1st of April. Today's article would make it ten articles in ten days (hehe). Currently as I'm writing this article I'm also listening to the song while my fingers are busy roving on my phone's keyboard.
First day, first article
Well I think the topic was just perfect for a new month. March was kind of drab and I wish I done a lot. I started April with a lot optimism and you can see that in this article. You can read the article if you wish to "Challenge yourself by stepping out"
The poem inspired Articles
The second, third, and fourth article were all inspired by poems, I wrote more than a year ago. Long before I discovered this platform. These poems saved me from writer's block.
Second day, second article
This article was inspired by a poem I wrote about "writings". In this article; I tried to imagine how the world would be like without the ability to writing or books. All the information we have today are as a result of writing system and books and without them we would still be in the darkness of ignorance.
Third article
A gift that can't be wrapped in a box.
I got inspired to write this from a poem of mine; "Smile is that gift". Truly smile is a gift that can't be wrapped in a box. Hey have you made someone smile today?
Fourth article
In this article I shared my experience during my first year in university, and difficulty in learning. This was inspired from a true life story and a poem. I took time to explain, why and how learning can be fun.
Fifth article
Frustrated by the lack of electricity supply. I wrote how I drafted my article using the traditional way of pen and paper. I also wrote about the advantages and disadvantages of traditional pen and paper, and hardcopy books.
Sixth article
Almost! I almost broke my streak here. A book filled with prompts came to the rescue. I went to the segment where there were "question one can answer about his or herself". I answered some of the selected question I felt comfortable with and I sincerely answered them.
Questions like what kind of superpower do I wish to have? Check it out to know what my answer was!
Seventh article
You feel like watching a movie but all your clothes are dirty and you might need to go out tomorrow. What activity do you give priority to? Well doing your laundry of course! Indirectly this article was a jibe to myself because I'm lacking in priority setting
Eighth article
The first time I was driven on a bridge I began asking my Dad how the bridge was made despite the huge water bodies. I was very inquisitive when I was a kid and till now. One thing that surprises me on that day was that as my Dad was explaining how bridges were built (thanks to his engineering knowledge) many adults in the bus started asking my Dad questions too about the bridge.
Asking questions is one of the best way of gathering information and wisdom.
Ninth article
I think this is one of the best article I have ever written so far. In this article I state how I am saving to reach my one BCH goal. If you haven't read it, you're missing a lot.
Conclusion & Gratitude
Writing with ease isn't a feat that everyone can boast of. I am still a noob when it comes to writing professionally, but I thank God for giving me the ability and good health to write those articles. I'm also thanking God for making me come across this platform.
I want to also thank everyone who read all my previous articles and those who are reading this article. Thank you.
Shout out to my newest sponsor @TheGuy for the huge sponsorship 🙌
I remember the ten over ten song. I was in ss2 or so when it came out.
