At fourteen, I was really preparing for my sweet sixteen,in SS1 then,preparing to become a prefect when I get to SS3. I wanted my tenure to be a remarkable one,so I buckled up with my studies.At the end I was able to make a positive impact on both my junior students and classmates as the head girl,and my prefectship was a successful one.

It didn鈥檛 end there for I was aspiring to be a great woman. I was curious how it feels like to be twenty.

I was expecting so much that I even thought I will be graduating university at 21,got married before I鈥檓 25,then start making cute babies.馃対

I had everything planned out vaguely in my young mind.

But it hasn鈥檛 come that way,looking at things now, I haven鈥檛 even gone halfway through my education.
It didn鈥檛 work for me and I don鈥檛 even feel disappointed. I feel so normal.

I didn鈥檛 feel different on my twentieth birthday,nothing in me changed,not even my way of thinking.lol.
I was only excited that I鈥檓 twenty,I got a lot of gift and best wishes from family and friends.But the fact that I didn鈥檛 celebrate my 20th birthday the way I envisioned it still amazed me.

I wanted to feel,walk,talk like a lady,and make good decisions for myself. I wanted everyone to know that I鈥檓 an adult.Smiles.
But unknown to me,all I was looking for were already in me,It鈥檚 been a cognitive learning process.

  • what have I learned in the past twenty years?
    I have learned to make my today count, I have learned to stop daydreaming about the future and start working hard towards it.This is what I was lacking in my teenage years.

In respect to that, I have set goals I鈥檓 sure I will achieve in my twenties (by God鈥檚 grace).
They are:
Carrer Goals: and making this first because my career is only second to my family

  • to pursue my course of study with passion and with minimal distractions.
  • graduating with a very good grade is a must.
    Personal Goals
  • to work on my general self improvement
  • to acquire those skills necessary to make,save and use money.
  • become a kitchen master.

Social Goals:
Hive Goals

  • general improvement in my social life
  • to give more time to hive,write and engage with fellow Hivers
  • to write a minimum of two posts in a week
  • network with leaders I admire in school,church and hive.

Most of these goals are long-term goals,it may take years to achieve them but it should be in my twenties.
I just hope I鈥檓 not asking for too much.So I pray for God鈥檚 mercy and grace to keep me on track 馃檹.

If you have scrolled to this point I am grateful 馃槆 .Thanks for reading through.
