My life is a mixture of different moments.
There have been some ups and down, some good/ happy moments and also some down moments, but regardless of it all, I have been able to push through life and it as molded me to who I am today, and no regrets regardless.
I have have been able to accomplish beautiful things in my life and also determined to do more. I push through every roadblock that I come across because I know I am strong enough after all of the hardship I’ve faced. I want the absolute best for myself and to those close to me. It’s a part of my goal in life to be able to help as much people as possible, and help them also succeed and be the best version of themselves.
I consider myself as a strong and focused person. Everyone, I believe have have dreams that motivate them to want to be the best version of themselves and also attain their dreams. That is what push me everyday to want to do more for myself and for the people around me.
I was brought up by both parents. A strong father who understands life and knows the value of life and why it’s necessary to be good to everyone and be impactful in their lives. My father is a sickle cell anemia patient and he as been living with severe pain and fatigue all his life. Brought up by parents who understands the value of life for me is special and a gift in disguise. My father is still very much alive and will be 69 years old this year, and he as been navigating through life with the disease. I grew up knowing my Dad as a principled man, who understands his health and knows what and what not to do to keep him healthy by knowing the type of foods he should eat and the foods he should avoid, and I’m also thankful for giving him the best life partner, because I can confidently say my mother is part of the reasons my dad is still very much alive till date. Experiencing all that while growing up made me value life more. Part of motivations, I inherited it from my family, especially my father.
I have had some difficult moments in my life instead of discouraging me, these moments gives me motivation and the necessary energy to move forward. My parents taught me that we live in a world that is constantly changing and to succeed I need a smart plan and ability to adapt and adjust to the changing world. I was taught to always be disciplined and be unshakable even when facing perilous time.
A fine wine that gets better each day should probably be one of the best way to describe my life. I have learned that I am the architect of my life and it’s how I design it that will determine the shape and structure of how it will look. Also understanding the fact that every route taken, and non taken will somehow impact our existence in life.
I was born on April 18, 1989 at the University colleges hospital (UCH) Ibadan Oyo state Nigeria.
