A SWEET REUNION 🥰🥰

-

 



Earlier this week, I ran into a very young lady,about 12years of age or  thereabout.She jumped and hugged me excitedly not even minding there were people looking at us because we were at a church program...I tried to reciprocate the gesture too but I couldn't really remember where exactly I knew her from,but It was obvious she knows me very well..I was about asking her for her name when the  mother walked up to us and said "Ahhh Titi that's your princess(name withheld) naw you don't recognise her again.....I was dumbfounded...

When I was much more younger,I remembered I always pester my mum for a baby like a younger one not because of anything but because I wanted to carry and play with baby....But in reality, none was forthcoming...But then I was still able to carry baby ooh infact lots of them..

One of such babies was the little girl I was talking about earlier,I could remember I packed my bags to spend about a month with the mother when she was given birth to infact my mum was really surprised I could go that length for anyone...We were family friends though,after about three years they relocated to another state and that was like the last time I saw the girl even though we were still in contact but we haven't seen each other physically since then...I only see her pictures on her mom's status sometimes and as expected she was growing into a very beautiful young girl.

Almost 8 years later I met my little princess again and I couldn't recognise her at an instant....Then I asked her how she was able to recognize me even after so many years,her mom began explaining how she had mentioned me to her while growing up and said she showed her some of my pictures she got on facebook and how she had always wanted to see me since then...She told her she was going to come with her anytime she is visiting Kwara state.The mom said she had pointed to me at a distance and said to her "that's the aunty you normally ask of oo" then she came running...

Omooo the whole scenerio was such an emotional one for me cos she was even the least person I was expecting to see anytime soon,then I remembered how little she was then to how big she looks now....We all are growing anyway

The mother and I went on and on discussing and she even made mention of how she always teases her anytime she is being disobedient she would tell her "I won't take you to go and see hanty Titi again ooh" and most times she listens to her and do the right thing...at that moment my head was already swelling like Garri.....Later on,my princess and I conversed to some length and I realised she is doing a really great job as a young lady...I was glad

I'm sharing this because I've never really experienced or know what it feels like to have a younger person looking up to you but I guess I do now,I know there are few things that might have caught her interest which made her wants to see me that much....

I hope my character would be worthy of emulation to her, hope to see and hear from her more often....I also hope to become a source of inspiration to her....So help me God, Amen

I BAGGED A DEGREE✨✨

  About a month ago I completed my undergraduate studies at the prestigious Kwara state University, Malete Nigeria☺️☺️...Yeah I said prestigious and through God's help I made a first class honours in BIOCHEMISTRY!! Did you just say wow😀....Here are few things I really find so surprising and at the same time inspiring during my undergraduate study... 1. As an average student,making a first class degree out of the university was the least thing I had in mind I just wanted to graduate with my 2:1 jeje and get my certificate and go.Even my prayer points to God then was just that I wanted to make 3.something because as a new student in school,I always hear people say first class is for the genius, especially in Biochemistry before you can get a FC degree in Biochemistry you have to be this and that so I actually settled with a 2:1 too.So something happened,during our 100L first semester holiday our results came out and that was 23rd of December,2days to Christmas 🎄.....The anxiety was...

MINDSET AND LIMITATIONS✍️✍️

During my secondary school days,my school had introduced further mathematics into it's curriculum and we were to start taking further mathematics as a subject starting from senior secondary school 1 As expected,we all were not so happy with the recent development because most of us were still struggling with the elementary maths now talking about furthering it,that would be tough..But the teacher taking us was relentless, he made sure he came and used his period allocated for the subject and that was usually the longest 40min of my day in school...This man should just finish this dy/dx and leave the class abeg.... lol Tests and examinations were done but trust me we failed,as a matter of fact I failed woefully in the subject that term or how else can we describe 24/100 if not a woeful failure .But then,I wasn't so sad or concerned about it since I wasn't the only with the red ink infact I was still making mouth to my parents,giving excuses as to why I had failed the subject...

GROWTH AND MATURITY💫💫

Most people believe maturity starts or begin when you start doing or behaving in some kind of ways,one of such is knowing how to control your anger.. What is usually considered a big sign of maturity is knowing how to keep quiet/holding your tongue when you angry most especially when you feel wronged. To some extent,that idealogy might be helpful but to me I realised a true sign of growth and maturity is when you are able to vocalise and express your feelings in an appropriate way and making people realise how wrong they were without being violent about it...... Would it be safe to say that,sometimes,silence is not usually the best answer...I'm saying this because of something that happened to me recently. I was at a health centre recently to take the second dose of my Covid vaccine but the vaccinator said they were out of the vaccine at the moment and I asked if I could take it somewhere else since I would be travelling back she said she was not so sure about it but I should try t...
