Sade was the only daughter of her family coming from the family of Mr and Mrs Jackson. Mr and Mrs Jackson is one of the reputable personality in the society not only because of their rich level but also due to the fact that they have been able to build a high reputable for themselves across the years.
Mr Jackson popularly known as pastor Jackson is one of the general overseers of a popular church in the society which has a lot of branches across the city of Abuja. The Name of the church been the city of dominion makes the church to be well sought all around the city and even the country. The church boasting a sitting capacity of over 20,000. Not only that Mr Jackson is also known to be professional medical doctor. What do I mean by that, though he is into ministry fully, he was once a doctor before serving.
Mrs Jackson on the other round and also serving as the mummy Go as they always say is the wife to Mr Jackson. She also boast a professional status of been known as the SAN which is known as the senior advocate of Nigeria. Having this status made her to be well reverend and respected all across the city.
Sade been the only child and daughter of these two wonderful parents who boast a highly respected status in the family made her to also be revered in the society. Bearing the surname Jackson attracted her a lot of respect, honour and attention beyond which she can dream of at a very early stage.
Ade been 17 years old got admission to the university of Ibadan to study her dream course which is Civil Engineering. Well that's another case at home when she is about to get inside the school because that was particularly fought by her parents. Her father actually wants her to study Medical doctor replicating what her father studied and her mother also want her to study law so that she can replicate also what she studied
But even with all these pressures, she chose to go for her dream course which was civil engineering and glad she has an understanding parents also at the end of the day. The truth of the matter is the fact that she has always dream to become a civil engineer because she she was small, she always admire how building were constructed.
Getting into the school and been a beautiful girl she is and also quite rich also, she became the hot cake around. Well probably due to the background she was coming from. She wasn't able to handle the pressure coming to her side when it comes to the demands of associating with friends and of course when I say friends, I mean wrong and bad friends. Well till today I still wonder why pastor sons and daughters always end up in a bad way when it comes to lifestyle, well that's not where I am going today.
At the long run, she begins to flow with what she was not expected to flow with. Sade begins to move with bad friends. At the first stage around her 100-200 level period, she try to hide it from her parents and that is trying to come up with a lot of pretense when she returns back to her parent during the holiday. Well like the always say, you can't keep it for so long. The long awaited prentese begin to manifest in the way she speaks, the songs she listen to and the type of pictures her parents found her taking when going through her phone someday.
They knew something was wrong and her daughter is already going wayward. Well they were able to discern that one of the major things that was contributing was bad friends. Knowing fully well that she was still in 200 levels, they immediately withdraw her from that school, I mean the university of Ibadan. Well it was a hard fought decision taken at home as Sade first of all refuse to be taken away from that university. But with the much pressure from her parents, she later consented.
She was enrolled into another school called the Covenant university. Fast forward after 10 years later, she is now a doctorate in civil and environmental engineering graduating with first class at the Covenant university. Already preparing for her marriage which will be taking place in the next two months as she will be getting marry to a gentle rich man who is a lawyer. She looked ten years ago and saw some of the decisions she was about to make or she was making that was affecting her life then but well thanks be to God she have a very wise and understanding parents. Everything now is past as that is Water under the bridge now.
Hi @precab, it's good that your friend's parents realized that she had taken the wrong path, they did what was necessary to regain control of their child's life.
It also sounds interesting that the daughter accepted it and now gives thanks, for what they did, since not everyone has such opportunities.

You have the makings of a decent creative non-fiction here but your piece needs more balance and more focus on the great creative aspects of fiction that turn a non-fiction piece into a piece of creative non-fiction. Check out this resource from The Ink Well to understand what is required from a #CNF story. In addition to the above, your story would greatly benefit from some editing. Spelling errors, incorrect verb and noun forms, grammar, and sentence construction could all be improved by using an editor like Grammarly to identify the issues.
Thank you for writing in The Ink Well.
Well, it is good that she ended up well, but I think that in most cases changing schools doesn't solve the problem. The problem is better solved by changing the person's view and not surrounding it. But all the same, thank God it worked out for her.
I guess her parents are lucky she decided to turn a new leaf at her new school. Thank God she focused and turned her life around.
