Special greetings everyone. welcome to my blog, it's another beautiful Edition, all thanks to the Hive Learner's community. You have really been a blessing to my life.
Holidays are special times we wish never come to an end, these are days when we are free from our works and studies. We are just home and have all the time to enjoy ourselves. Sometimes I wish I could just hold time back so that holidays won't come to an end, but the unfortunate thing is there is an end for every matter on Earth. There were holidays I felt like I was in heaven and of course there were holidays I was praying to finish so I could go back to work.
My best holiday
One holiday I enjoyed so much was in the year 2019, around December. My elder sister resides in plateau state Nigeria, it has been so long she came home to visit us. I was overwhelmed with missing her and her beautiful kids so I decided to travel over to her place to spend my holiday. During those days her husband's nieces visited them also to
celebrate Christmas.
I happened to be someone who doesn't like making new friends like that but trust me those ladies were cool, one goes by the name Jemmimah and the other Jane. Jemmimah is a talkative lady while Jane is reserved and doesn't talk much. Meeting those ladies was something I can't forget in my life. They made me understood the true mystery of friendship and removed the cap of pride from my life. During weekends we would go places together, stroll around the community and return home by evening and Sundays are special days we dedicate to mountain climbing. You know Jos is full of mountains. The first Sunday we climb one of the mountains close to our house, a monkey came down and chased us, you need to see race that day. I was so surprised to hear that they have never seen a real monkey before in their life.
There was a church close by in the community I persuaded them to join me so we could worship there . I joined ushering department, but they joined none. I remember one day I was cleaning up the place and I was to mop the stage and I couldn't use the bucket I was given to squeeze water out of the mop, so I was using my hand to squeeze the water out Jemmimah laughed me to scorn I can't forget that day, I felt so embarrassed but I learnt something new atleast. Sometimes if I don't want to go to church they would persuade me and give me hundred and one reason to go, you know those talkative ladies. mimah can talk you into accepting what you would not on a normal day.
Jemmimah and Jane were the best thing that happened to me during that holiday, they taught me how to watch cartoons movies, my God! We could spend hours and hours watching boss baby series. We became family, it was through them I learnt to share my problems with people that are close to me. I realized that not everyone in the world is a betrayer. People could care genuinely and sincerely. At at point I felt like not to return to my place again but I had no option sooner the days were over. Jemmimah and Jane have to go back to their parents and I need to return home to face my life again. It was so painful. The sadest thing is that our friendship was breached as soon as we parted ways. Nevertheless the impact they made on my life is still alive until date.
Lesson
My worst Holiday
Almost every holidays during my high school days that fall during the rainy seasons are traps for me, in my place, as soon as rain begins to fall . It is time for farm, if your parents are rich. You are on the safer side but if you come from a poor family, ah! Every holiday . I have to go farm every Monday to Saturdays. Once is Sunday night my heart starts beating. As early as six we are on the way to farm. Sometimes I wish school dont even vacate. All my schedule would be shattered, I can't go out or even be with my friends because anytime I am home from farm I would be so tired and need to rest. My phone doesn't even give me comfort at that time. All I will need is sleep. I can barely do the things I want to do, all my time is taken by farm activities. I can't not refuse to go to farm because that is one of the source of income we have and More over the food is also what we eat. But honestly left to me I wish I could just put it away and do other stuffs. If you see me during those times you would really pity me. One good thing is that when I graduated from high school and got admission into the college, my parents no longer made it a mandate for me to follow them to farm. It is only on some occasions otherwise I am at liberty to choose whether to go or not. The reason is because they want to allow me face my own life and hustle for myself. Nevertheless I do go to farm with them when I am free .
