My story is a book specifically written about a young girl whose dream and plan for her future is to be great but along the line something happened.
I'm Uwaoma the third child of my parent, this is my story I'm just a girl with big dreams of making both my parents proud, my parents don't really do well and we bearly feed, sometimes we feed well" I had this passion for school and all I needed is a good educational opportunity which I wasn't able to get because of the too much expenses my father had to carry out he was the only one working and paying bills and school fees for all of us. As time goes on I and my siblings had to start living with strangers in other to reduce burden for my parents especially me.
I lived with different people both the one who treated me badly and the ones who treated good but in all of this I just need a good educational system and I had passion for school I loved education and I just wanted to be the best, but the way things were going all the people I lived with non was able to grant my needs I just have to work for them and at the end of the day I won't get anything in return I had to stop living with strangers and start thinking of a better way forward.
As time goes on a met this handsome young guy who gave me an idea of traveling out so I can get a job and start up a life for myself self that idea was seconded by my elder sister
I excepted it and I started working on how to travel and where to travel to, my sister ask me to come over to her place in Lagos state which I agreed and I told my boyfriend about it he stays in Lagos too,
So he sponsored for my coming transportation fees and so on..
I travel to Lagos before I travel I had a plan which is to get a job first and start working and start getting paid so that I can take care of myself and my families as well
But things took another turn when I came to Lagos I didn't want to spend a long time before getting a job
I need a job ASAP because I have bills to pay and also I need to take care of myself .
With the help of my boyfriend I got a job and I started working but things wasn't working out as planned
Everything was not going well at all but giving up was never and option I hard to quit the job, but if i quit the job I had no where to go, no house, no friends nothing nothing I was just frustrated and tired of what was happening to me I had to tell my boyfriend what I was going through at work how the owner of the place threatened to sleep with me and I had to quit but I had no where to go
He had no house in Lagos too
He managed to get a place where I stay while he go in search for a house.
He finally rented an apartment where we both stay
I never in my life planned to live with a man especially someone who hasn't gotten married to me yet but at that point I had no choice instead of living in the streets and being influenced by friends I had to move in with him.
I got a new job as a kitchen attendants and everything was going fine but not really fine
But it was manageable but the payment was not encouraging but I had to manage , I wasn't really happy about the situation that I will have to depend on him for paying my bills because I'm an independent person I like paying my bills but him paying my bills was a noway for me
So the job I got I was really happy because at least I can sort out my bills but it wasn't as easy as it sounds. At the process of leaving with my boyfriend I got pregnant that sounds crazy right đ
Yeah that's what happens I got pregnant đ€° I was sad and happy and angry, hurt and disappointed at myself I'm just 21yrs old and I never planned for all this , at thesame time I promise never to get myself involved in any thing called abortion I had to carry the pregnancy,
My man was happy but sad and disappointed at thesame time it wasn't esy for any of us but we have to adapt it
I've not still given up on my dream once I give birth I'm starting afresh and nothing will stop me
