MY CHILDHOOD DREAM WAS DENIED BY MY FATHER

My advice to all parents is to allow their children to follow their dreams, and never impose on them what to do, I am a victim of this, I wasted four good years at home pleading to my father to allow me to pursue my dream which he denied me the right to my dreams, my father was so rigid, my father is so dictating that you must follow his rules and regulations based on your ambition.

The type of life I planned for myself is not what I am following when I was growing up, I loved to be an accountant because I am very sound and good at calculating figures, it was my dream job to be an accountant.

I was so desperate to be an accountant but due to my family plans for me my father changed everything I planned for, my father is the type that dictates to his children, he will want all his children to trend on the path he lay for them, which I do not like at all.

After I wrote my junior class examination to proceed to the senior class, all my thought was to go to commercial class because I attended boarding school, the next day I finished my exams, my father visited my school and told my principal that I will not be resuming with them the next term because he has already changed my school to a science school and also a boarding house school.

I changed school from my previous one to a new School to start my senior class, I was so poor in chemistry then, my hate for chemistry was so much, I do not develop an interest in any science course then, I was so poor generally, my first result was so poor compared to my previous results, each time I come home with my results at the end of the term I am always in trouble with my father, it gets to a point I nearly ran away from the house because I do not have passion for science.

After my first year in the senior class, I adapted to it just for my father does not have a problem with me, so I adjusted to my result and started to develop an interest in it since I do not have any choice.

I finished my senior class and getting ready for my tertiary institution another problem emerge from my father I was unable to study accounting when I was in school so I developed an interest in studying computer science at the University to be a computer guru, my love for the computer is so much, I wish to be a programmer because I learned computer after my O'Level so I wished to further more in the University and become a professional in that aspect but my father declined totally.

My father wanted me to study Medical education or any health-related course at the university, but I do not have any interest in studying that course at all, I do not have a passion for it at all, I wrote the first entrance exam to the university and scored very high points but my father repudiated to pay my school fees since I did not choose what he wants me to study, it was so terrible and terrifying, my father wants a doctor in his house but I am not ready for that.

I pleaded with him and sent his junior siblings to him to apologize on my behalf because I do not like the course he wants me to study at the university, they talked to him and he agreed to let me follow my dreams. With all this happening to me I never see my father as someone wicked or hard on me I just believe he is operating in his old generation, he believed that he know what is best for me without considering my mental health.

I wrote another entrance exam to the university and I chose to study Geology this time around, and I was given admission to study my desired course, I graduated after five years in the university and serve my fatherland but after graduation, we all know that this country is all about one connection or the other.

I learned different skills when I was in school and after school I learn another skill which is fetching me cool money, I do not work with my certificate at all, I deviated to another place because if you do not have skills in this country you are on your own, I never depend on any government job at all.

I am a boss on my own, I am into Make-up, and also a blogger, I learned baking when I was in school, and also into decorations, I have never practiced what I studied for once and I am cool with my life because to get a job in this country is like the kingdom of heaven that suffer violence, and only the violent taketh it by force.
