When an impact is felt, it becomes difficult to forget, this is a privilege to appreciate those who have helped me, groomed me, mentored me, one way or the other, in other for me to become who I am today.
I'll start by appreciating my lovely parents, they gave me life and nationality. My precious Father Mr Avode Ezekiel. While we were growing up, my Dad's favorite statement was "Think and believe". His interpretation of this is that, when you think, you conceive a thing, and when you believe, you will eventually achieve it, a hardworking and dedicated man, it wasn't easy training 7kids singlehandedly, and today by God's grace we have 5graduates in the family. He sacrificed so much for his kids, no matter the times, my father never let us go to bed hungry, he always made sure our three square meal was complete, yet he was a disciplinarian, no wonder we are well respected in the area. They used to think we won't mature before having kids out of wedlock, 5gurls but it's been from one wedding to the other.
Now let's talk about my dearest mother, the meekest woman I've come across, her only friends are her children and husband, never seen her fighting in the street or cursing her children, a truly Godly mother. She was the first person that taught me how to cook, my confidant and special adviser.
If I start mentioning each of my siblings here, I won't finish writing this post, shout out to the Avode's my every day gist partners.
Now to my bestie, you're the reason
I'm back to my field as an educator, thanks for being always supportive, your impact is forever with me, all the times you did the little things that mattered, I can't thank you enough.
I will also like to appreciate that special lecturer of mine back in Tasued, Monsieur Akintunde Giwa, the last time I was in school, I couldn't see him because he was on an official duty, this was my mentor back then in school, he was a big challenge to me because of the many foreign languages he spoke, I determined to be very good at french if a single person could speak, 5foreign languages fluently, how he spoke it with confidence awakening my interest in the languages department, I can't be who I am in my field without him.
Furthermore ,a very good friend of mine, who also tutored me without receiving a penny in return, though far away right now, I can always call on him whenever I get confused with a topic and he takes his time to break it down.
Also, my pastors from the first man of God that groomed me from afar Pastor W.F Kumuyi, we never met one on one,yet he was a mentor and father, his words help to set me on track, whenever there is pressure from peers his words comes back and set me on the right part, the reason I'm able to Know Christ and learn to read my Bible on my own, though he doesn't know me, I will never forget his impact in my life. And to my current pastor, the prayers, the humility, the act of worship, they are all appreciated.
Now to my friends, my name sake馃槉, sorry I'm not there when you need me sometimes but you know I'll always make up for it, to the people that brought me to this platform @aunty-tosin and
@vickoly, you're more than friends and your impact is well felt.
Finally, I won't forget to mention all my teachers that nurtured me from childhood, both in school and in church, you have done a great job in raising an upright adult, I'm sure you all will be proud of me, thanks and I love you all.
