Hello dear friends, it is my delight to take part in this contest. We all passed through the stage of being a kids and as such,our young minds yearned and dreamed for a lot of things. Mine was not an exception. I had a whole lot of things I dreamed about. I wished for a lot of things as I was growing up. But come to think of it,if wishes were horses, I would have been riding on a lot of horses by now.

Nevertheless, I have not completely missed out on my dreams as I have the ones I Achieved and the ones I didn't. Here in this contest entry, I am going to share 3 dreams I had in childhood, the ones I Achieved and the ones I didn't achieve, what went wrong and who supported me in my dreams.

Now is the time to give attention to the contest tips, just follow along as I unleash the dreams

What were the dreams you had in childhood for the future.

Dreams are part of life and at any point and stage in our lives, we keep dreaming for what we have not currently Achieved. Stop dreaming, then your live ends. Such is life. Some dreams are lofty and some are moderate.

Even the Bible acknowledged that dreams come from so many preoccupations but the dream am going to talk about are those things I desired to be or to achieve in the future. I had them in my childhood.

I dreamed of becoming a Nurse

This dream came about when I saw how caring nurses are. They once cared for me when I was sick. The sickness was so severe that my right hand wanted to be amputated. It was the caring nature of the nurses along with the right treatment that was administered that healed my hand. I sincerely thanked God for them and since then, I began to nurture that dream of becoming a Nurse although I never made it known to anyone.

	this the scare on my right hand. It was this injury that triggered my dream of becoming a Nurse in my childhood

But it resurfaced when my brother encouraged me to study that to see if he can help me go over to the United States Of America. I was so thankful to him. There and then, I worked hard to pass my high school and get good grades that will gain me direct entry to the school of nursing. I really made good grades. But to gain entrance, I had to write the entrance exams. I did so for 3 years and in different schools. I passed the exams but was never invited to be admitted. I later heard that one will have to be recommended by well known personality. But in the end, I never got my dream of becoming a Nurse fulfilled.

That dream was seriously supported by my older brother in the USA. He felt so disappointed but then still encouraged me to go for another dream of mine and that he will still support me.

My dream of becoming a banker and Accountant

Another dream that grew in my mind then was that of becoming a banker and a chartered accountant. Back then in my high school, I liked accounts so much. The stories that my teacher usually tell us about being a banker and an accountant really moved me. He will tell us how lucrative and professional the course is. I started having that dream as a second thing in my mind.

So when that if nurse failed, I quickly switched to studying accounts in the school. I did very well in my National Diploma and after two years, I got a job in the bank. Wow! It was a dream come true. First, I started with The fidelity bank here in Nigeria to work as a marketer with a stipend of 10500 naira which was approximately 85 steem in the year 2006 which was when I finished my National Diploma. I didn't even spend a day at home after the exam. I was invited and I started. I serves as a Marketer then and I did very well. I liked and enjoyed my stay there.

But I soon got an offer in another bank, then then Intercontinental bank. There offer was far more better than that of Fidelity bank. They paid us 25500 naira, plus hazard and launch allowance which made the total amount to be 34000 naira which is an equivalent of 263 steem. I quickly switched over to that bank and tendered my resignation in this other bank. I worked as an operation officer then. I was able to go round, as ATM card issuer, as a bulk teller, as a customer service officer and as a fund transfer officer. But in all, I worked under the supervision of my superiors. It was a wonderful experience. I enjoyed it so much. But it ended after one year because i had to go back to school and complete my Higher National Diploma in Accounting.

I also got married that year I was in the bank and when I went to school, I gradually stopped thinking about becoming a banker because I married a banker too. We were both leaving the house very early and coming back very late. I didn't like it at all. So, that was how that dream went.

I had the support of still .y older brother. He saw me through my National Diploma while my husband saw me through my Higher National Diploma.

I am currently a steemian and it is also a good one.

Who supported you in that dreams

My older brother supported me in both my first and second dream.

Which one of those dreams have you achieved.

I Achieved that of being a banker even though it was for just a short period of time but I so much felt very honored being part of the banking system.

Which one did you not achieve, What do you think went wrong?

That of becoming a Nurse. I was in no way closer to it. I didn't go to be recommended by someone. The person I met wanted to sleep with me before recommending me and I ran very far away. But all the same, If I still want to,it is not late at all. I can still achieve it. But for now,I am a steemian.
