ME FIVE TEN YEARS AGO.
I was in a mess ten years ago, it was like I had no direction on whereby go or to start from, I was just going by each day, as life brought it, since I wrote my senior school exam the last year ,I was just without direction, so I was freshly out of a relationship that didn't last 2month, i was like so I really need a boyfriend or let me just focus on my life which I did, after a 6months I met my now husband ,then we were just church member, then I told him what was going in with me, I explained to him that I don't even have university in mind yet because I wouldnt know how to fend for my self. Yes I finished secondary at a very early age.
Then we got talking, he would pray with me in church, and after some months, since he was working at a company, he also got me a job beside his company, we then git through so many things together, he was my best friend, whenever I had difficulties he would talk with me, then I was blaming my parents for not being able to send me to university, at that point of my life it was like I never wanted to listen to my parents anymore, but when we became friends he talked with me, he told me my parents weren't to blame for anything, it just how life wants us to learn, then I looked at it from his own perspective and I was motivated and I stopped resenting my parents.
HOW FAR I CAME
Ten years later, ( now) I have achieved a lot of things in which I thought I could never achieved, I worked for one of the best eatry company(sweetsensation) , when I accumulated enough saving, I went to catering school, in which I got support from everyone around me, catering school taught his to make almost anything and how to create my own recipe for a particular dish, after I finished my training at catering school, I went ahead and got another training from a private cake artist, as in she was good , she taught me a lot on cakes, I applied for just 6months, and I started baking on my own, it was like a rough journey from scratch but it went well, that i am proud of my self for what u have been able to achieve this past years.
WHAT STEPS I TOOK
Well let's say it was just God, I prayed for divine direction, and God brought someone who helped me alone the line.
I fe id we have that one person who actually believe In your success, then one can achieve greater things.
Another step I took which us very important is being committed to what your goals are, commitment is key in all things
Also being honest with yourself especially, don't deceive yourself when you know what your interest lies in.
