Today is workers day and I remember when I was 16 and got my first part time job in Leicester. I was in college, In boarding school in the UK . It’s was my official first step to becoming who I am today . Although back then my ideas and dreams of what I wanted my life to be like was totally different . I really imagined that I would become an investment banker make all the money and rule the world before I’m 40.

In my first year in university I was nominated as the course rep for my department, and in my second year I was the African Caribbean society President. By my 3rd year I had bought my first car . All the while working and schooling .

I mean I was on my way to becoming the first female president .. after school I went on to compete in the Miss Nigeria Uk pageant and won! Woohooo I’m the Queen Of the world.
And then I went back to school , this time to get my Ultimate Certificate as a Chartered Management Accountant . I enrol into the London School Of Business and Finance . After that I moved back to Nigeria and suddenly EVERYTHING CHANGED Lord have mercy!!!! I never knew I could make so many wrong choices and mistakes in my life . I never knew how aggressive and angry I could be . Even serving God was a different ball game . I also have never experienced so much freedom and fun all at once . .

All in all through it all my parents have been there for me . They had already given everything I needed to go through life . My parents sacrificed everything for me and many times I had betrayed them with my wrong choices in life .

Today I’m still chasing my dreams and they still stand by me . I’m really living my dreams , working everyday doing what I love so so much . I’m no longer working for people but steady building my empire. My small accolades in my Bio allows me to celebrate this day as a promising business woman. May God bless my parents . They are the real hard workers and God bless every hard working person out there . Keep chasing your dreams. Dreams come through
