While growing up I remember loving drawing so much and my mom was so supportive about it, I remember being surprised by my mom with different colours of drawing pencils, and even drawing books as well, I remember my mom showing almost all her friends that come visiting my drawings, and I could see how happy and proud she was, till date if you come visiting my family, my mom will bring out those drawings to show you, so hilarious huh!
I wasn't that good sincerely speaking, but as a kid, it was awesome, and as my uncle came visiting, he strictly didn't like it and my dad was always in the side of me being a barrister (I mean to study law) so at the long run, I hard to stop drawing, and then, they enroll me in different lessons to study hard just so I can become that good barrister someday, and so I got very busy that I couldn't give attention to drawing anymore.
Still, I didn't even study the law I was forced to, rather, I went ahead to study mass communication as soon as I got admission to the Polytechnic. At first my dad wasn't all that excited, but as time goes by, he came to see reasons with i and my mom, and things began to change. Still I couldn't start drawing anymore because I felt I totally lost it all, and we all know one thing about schoolling in Nigeria, whatever course you are studying, you will have to be very focused on it, so I couldn't add drawing to my studies as mass communication itself was a huge amount of time taking!
I mean you will have to study hard, do your assignments, presentations, going out to fetch news, coming back with a reliable news as an assignment, getting to face some difficult lecturers, and normal life combined with all of these wasn't a funny experience at all, I remember when I got admission to study outside Nigeria when I was done with my national diploma (ND program), it was a huge one for me, I was so excited, I never knew there were a lot in it, I thought when I travel out I was going to experiment on different things especially drawing as well, but hey was that the story? NO!
I had to learn a different language entirely (French), I never knew I was going to get involved with French, but when I travel to a French speaking country I didn't have a choice, because that was their major language, and so I had to study so hard, try to understand French because every days communication involves in French, and I couldn't resist it because that was actually their basic language, and I will have to take exams in French, so you see why I had to drop anything that will have to distract me from learning this language, and finally I'm proud to say that wherever life pushes you, it is with a great purpose, because I came out with a "First Class Certificate" in a French speaking country how awesome is that? and let's not forget that I am 21 years old (2022)!
Now I'm here in the journey of serving my beloved country Nigeria (NYSC) and at the same time a CEO of b_boldcouture (clothing & cosmetic brand)!
And for the drawings, i drew this with an eye pencil on a notebook!
