The man I wanted to be

The man I wanted to be
I was bullied in my primary school , I don’t know why but I was consistently bullied by other guys, So I wanted to end all this drama.

I didn’t like someone making fun of me, and of course, I was mentally strong, I didn’t want to tolerate these things.

Right from my childhood, i learned how to service? I learned how to handle tough situations, How to deal with them.
During my JSS2, I joined a boxing group and learnt how to fight.

I got my first belt in a community boxing fight, And guess what? No one could bother to tease me ever again.
This tells me one thing.

"Don’t talk act"
After my Secondary school, I tried enrolling into the Nigeria Defense Academy (NDA) because of my resistance to toughness. I woke up one morning, went to my Dad's room to brief him about joining NDA, which he accepted even though I am the only son he has. He wanted me to wear the military uniform with honor but that dream never came to pass.

One evening as we were preparing to get the NDA form, my dad asked me to switch the television from Africa magic to Channels tv news at 10pm. That news changed everything for me. Newsflash, "A Major sues Nigeria military for killing his son in training"

Why now was what was ringing in my mind.

My Father told me I must be crazy if I think after seeing this, he will allow me to continue my NDA dream fully knowing that I am the only son.

The next day, my Dad went to jamb to buy a jamb form for me. That was how I ended my dream carrier to study animal science.
