Hello friends, welcome to this week #scifimultiverse prompt #smp-w18. Growing up, I envisioned myself as first a doctor, a lawyer, and then a banker. Dreams are free of charge, and that being the case, everyone is allowed to dream as much as they can.
Life is full of changes, and so are our desires and life course. Growing up, I wanted to be a doctor just because I wanted to save lives, to help people, especially those who are poor and struggling but I have one major setback and that is fear of seeing blood. I realized that I couldn't handle needle and syringe, let alone major tasks like surgeries. I realized that being a doctor won't work for me because of my fear, and even to my writing this blog, I still battle with fear of blood and seeing injuries.
Along the line, my interest drifted to wanting to be a lawyer, and this was motivated by a senior friend of mine whom I admired so much, and she was a lawyer. Being a lawyer would also help me defend the rights of the poor who faced injustices because of their financial status. I also wanted to change the popular narrative that "not all lawyers are liars". Unfortunately, pursuing law was a very expensive course, and not going to a law school after obtaining a first degree from the university is as good as choosing a different path.
When being a lawyer didn't work out because of financial setbacks, I thought about becoming a banker and pursuing a banking cause but I was opportuned to meet with a banker who had worked in the banking sector for years, she told me how banking was an enslavement, not having time for anything except the bank and her reasons for quitting after a long time working there. I love having my time with family and my ministry, so her experience didn't sit well with me, so I decided to apply for a course in public administration with marketing as my major.
After school, I realized that marketing wasn't really what I wanted as organizations weren't handling their marketing department as I wanted. I went further to study a course in special needs education where I work with children on the spectrum to date. Some changes in life help us navigate to a path that will help us become better. Working with people on the spectrum has taught me resilience, to be grateful for what I have, and to be appreciative, as I do my best to help them.
If I have another opportunity, would I like to live my childhood dreams? The answer is NO! I would rather bury it in the past and become better at what I do now or pursue a course in Ai (artificial intelligence), coding, and a data analyst or other related courses.
This is my response to this week #scifimultiverse prompt #smp-w18. Tell me what you think in my dm. Enjoy your weekend friends.
