My first

Hey my hive family welcome to another week of hive naija weekly prompt edition 94

My first… what makes this week very interesting is I have a lot of options to pick on which first I want to talk about. I would have loved to talk about my first love but it was not funny at all. In fact I don't want to remember because it reminds me of my childish self Lol… I don't have sense at that time

But let talk about my first time away from home,I chose my first time away from home because it is a moment of my life I can't forget,I was made the woman I am today.

My first time away from home was when I had to go to junior secondary school and my Dad decided to send me to a boarding house.I was small,not just that it was my first time away from home.

I never had the privilege of visiting cousins or anyone at all, sometimes when we travel for festive period we are always with our Mom if possible our Dad comes along

After the festival we move round to say hi to our cousin that if they didn't come home during the festive period,we mostly do meet during those periods but if they don't make we go to their houses and say hi before passing to Abuja

Am from Kaduna state, a northern part of Nigeria and most of my family are in Kaduna state, my hometown but I and my family stay in Abuja , the federal capital of Nigeria. So during festive period is the only time I get to see my cousins

That even stop when I got to primary 3,am always home with my family,no visiting of cousins no traveling during festive period,we celebrate all festivals at home in Abuja

Then I was done with my primary school and it was time for my junior secondary school hmmmmmm and the biggest decision of my life was made, I was sent to a boarding school to start my junior secondary school with no mother,no father,no siblings worse no cousins Lol just me

Honestly it was not easy at all, I had to wake up early for morning prayers, the first time i had to wake early for prayers I started crying because I miss home, like who wakes up this early for prayers

After the prayers I was hoping to go to bed and I was stopped because it was time for morning function, like…… it still dark but I still have to go for morning function after my morning function I was about to sleep again that I should hurry up and shower because if I don't dress quick I will be sent out of the hostel half dress and the duties teacher will punish me for not dressing complete

This was the most funny part time for breakfast. We were asking to move to the dining room to eat.I was served two pieces of akara (bean cake) with pap. I tested the pap and no sugar, Omo I started crying, like serious cry oh.

I felt my Dad didn't love me to bring me to a place like this,but with time I adapt,I learned how everything works and it being to feel like home again

One thing I love the most about the boarding house was, you are there all by yourself making decisions by yourself, and doing things yourself
It helps you decide the kind of person you want to become in life and the decision I made then I never regretted any, in fact I am grateful to my Dad for making such a decision for me.
