My Dream Before Now

I have been living my life, hoping for tomorrow to be better. This is what keeps us moving and moving ahead. Hope is one thing that keeps us moving. There is no one without having the mind of hoping for something or having something hoping for.

Before now, we all had our respective dreams to become better and great people in life, but one way or the other could not attain such a goal. When I was still a child, I always have the feelings and the thoughts of becoming an engineer, an electrical engineer for that matter. I have always lived to hope for becoming what I had in mind, not knowing how to attain that dream.

I had a friend back then who was studying electrical electronics engineering at the university, and he gave me hope and made. I have full assurance of becoming an electrical engineer. The way he talked and behaved, most especially while reading. He was never, for once, left his books. There was this engineering mathematics textbook he always carried along, which happened to be as huge as possible. I always got afraid, but he will be the one encouraging me to ensure my dreams come to reality.

In my secondary school, there was nothing like further mathematics, as I did not know if such a subject ever existed. I just knew of mathematics but not further mathematics, as I was better, I'm solving mathematical problems right from my secondary school. I only picked up when I got to senior class two, just because of someone I later made as a friend. He was a genius in mathematics and I never wanted to let him go except I made friends with him, which I did.

Now, when I left secondary school, my friend who was in the university have me his further mathematics project one which I did go through and studied hard to solve almost all the questions in it, except the ones I could not solve. He came over to help me out in solving those I could not solve. He was truly trying to put me in the line of engineering, but nature could not help me out.

Furthermore, he later gave me another project which was project two(2). I also made sure to study and solved the questions in it and once I could not solve them, he equally helped me out. It was so fun and great solving mathematical problems as I was not going anywhere other than to get myself engaged with the projects further mathematics he did give to me. He later brought to the last project, which I found interesting as well. This part I so great and nice. I later got to understand further mathematics to the brim but was still having a little problem in solving some areas.

The truth is that I tried hard to proceed to the university after several attempts in writing joint admission and matriculation exams, but was not granted admission. I made several attempts, but later gave up, been hoping to go to the university to study engineering courses. My mind later went to the polytechnic, which I later went to. Although, I did study what I truly had in mind to study, which was electrical electronics engineering.

They are my amiable sponsors

After one year of staying at home just because of the absence of jobs or availability of jobs, I decided to always wire people's houses anytime I was called to. I gained little money from that outside work.

I never wanted to stay in one place without acquiring a job I can survive with. So, my friend later called me to come to stay with him and his sister. I did stay and found a teaching job. O was paid a stipend but was still satisfied with the payment. I started with nursery and primary school, but now I'm teaching the senior classes just because of the talent I have in teaching. This made me change my line of a dream to a line I never dreamt of, I'm my life.

I still remembered back then, if asked, I will tell them I cannot become a teacher, but an engineer. Many of you had this same thought, but nature can always find its way out. What we planned may not be what we can become, or maybe what we become as we truly have the opportunity. Not having the opportunity to actualize your dreams may be a factor in changing from that dream to a dream you never thought of.

You can see now that my dreams then, has been changed to the one I never thought of. This is life, and we must always live to go along with life as we will succeed if we truly believe ourselves, but will not if we allow life to treat us the way we want it.

We may dream, but life holds more for us, only if we dance to the tune of it. Presently, I'm a true teacher and I can bet you, I teach with passion. Maybe, this was supposed to be my call which I never knew of, not until this moment.

So, make sure to dream and make it comes true but putting up hard work alongside it. Do ask God to show you your directions because most of us do not have bearings and do not have a particular area to stick to.

God shall be our helper...
