Descriptive childhood experience that gave me the best. Loh#168

Hello ladies of hive. Welcome back to my blog for this week contest. @joanstewart ,thank you for giving us the best topics to remember 😍😍
After much thinking about the questions, I decided to describe my childhood experience which almost affected my way of life in some ways but later gave me my best.

Discriptive best day in your life so far — childhood, holiday, wedding, children, any day you feel made you the happiest.
A specific time when you found something profoundly affected your way of thinking, changed you, or simply made you happy!

Let me pick my childhood!
My childhood experience was one that I wished was a very different one.
All dreams, all wishes never became a reality. This is how it went. "The only language I remember was " Study hard and be Successful".
I grew up with very learned parents. My Mum graduated as a Nurse, working with a State government as a professional nurse.

I remembered when I was so little, everything seemed rosy and sweet, but along the line, it turned the other way round. When I was 6 years old, my Dad resigned from the teaching job because of the poor remuneration and concentrated on his farming business, and he was doing very fine for years, but unfortunate, he ran at a loss and was never able to grow back his farm so he had to abandon the business. Since then he has been struggling to put food on the table for the family and every thing changed from what it used to be.

It was still averagely ok for us for some years not until my Mum's predicaments began. She was transferred from a city hospital to a very rural area, where there were very few population and number of hospital users were extremely low, and as well, very limited health workers were posted to the hospital.

She has a very compassionate nature and extremely diligent with her work, so the people of the community loved her and always wanted her to attend to them anytime they needed medical attention in that hospital. These infuriated two of her immediate bosses, they got jealous of the love they had for her in that community, and two of them connived to bring her down which they successfully plotted and achieved.

I was in a middle class of my secondary education, my mum went for a promotional course for a month, on getting back, she was made to sign some forged papers at work, but unfortunately she didn't go through the content of the document because of too much trust and she never expected she will be hated by anyone to the extent of being implicated.
The document she signed was one that implicated her of going against the ethics of the job and being involved in illegal acts in the hospital. The problem took away her job. She was later given a compulsory retirement.
Lesson learnt

Always read what you are about to sign and be sure of it

Things turned out to be very difficult for us in the family,
We would see children of other people with my parents status enjoying so many things, games, outings, various childhood experiences any child would want to experience. And my parents were very strict and keen about us looking the other way when we see our peers enjoying those wonderful childhood goodies. We lived liked that for years and got used to hardship.

The only good thing that we had going on was our Education which wasn't compromised, my parents spend their last dime to make sure we get the best education we could have. And my dad would always tell us that the only thing that can get him back on his feet is us. He has always encouraged, coarsed us when necessary and motivated us to focus extremely on education and make sure we are successful at all cost.

That changed my mentality and my life style, and the only language we(my siblings and I)understood was to study and be successful. There was no childhood fun. Success amidst challenges and lack became my priority right from my very tender age.

I found my way into a state University in Nigeria, graduated beautifully, presently acquired two master degrees. The days I acquired those certificates happened to be the best day of my life.

Today I can say I am very successful though I have a very rough, challenging and fun less childhood days. The only thing I remember when I was growing up was "Study hard and be successful" and this defined my way of thinking to what I am today.

The childhood experience I had really changed me to want to become successful at all cost👌👌
