I remember some years ago, while I was in secondary school, I studied hard and always topped my class because I wanted to be a medical doctor. I loved science and committed to studying rather than socializing and making friends just to make my dream a reality.
But from the day my JAMB (Joint Admission And Matriculation Board) result came out the story changed.
I was compelled to go College Of Education because my point didn't measure up to the requirements, then while I was there, gradually, I realized that I no longer had enough time to pursue that dream.
So, I intended to join the army after I graduated but it reality hit me like stray bullets. The first year I applied for the job, I was not shortlisted.
The second year the same and time isn't waiting for me. So, I started applying for any job I saw online but got none. At that point, It was no longer about what I wanted to become anymore, it was now about what will bring food to the table and how to affect my world positively.
Unfortunately, I didn't get any government job, I had to take a teaching job in a private school.
I understand something with life, everyone has amazing and beautiful dreams but sometimes we won't end up with exactly what we want.
However, that doesn't mean that we can't still become great, of course, if we put more effort and refuse to give up greatness is certain.
At first I was not happy with the teaching job but as time went on, I had to embrace it, and trust me, I love the impact I am making in the lives of my students.
Everything in life happens for a reason, if the beat changes, we shouldn't let it destroy our hope because no one knows what tomorrow has in store.
There are many reasons why people don't achieve their dreams, for some it can be background, to some it can be government and for some, it's just fate.
Whatever the case may be, I believe that people who don't give up don't lose, you may not become what you wanted or planned as a child but you can become something even better in a different field, that is just life. So, there is no reason at all to feel bad or become discouraged when things don't go the way we want.

This is true. Life always has other plans for us. Sometimes what we dream of doesn't come to us. It's even written in the Bible that we may make our plans, but it's only God who cause them to happen.
Exactly ma, we can only plan but God has the final say.
Thanks so much for showing up ma🥰🫂❤️
