Steem Women club Engagement Contest1 | My Dad, My World | by @chimechetam

Hi steemians , it's a great pleasure to be part of this superficial contest and I utmostly appreciate every part of it . Of a truth,the academy is increasing in quality and this is seen in extra curricular activities being created which would enhance better performance of steemians and the entire hive .

Variety is the spice of life and the presence of several entities and people in our lives gives way for scaling of preferences which entails that our individual priorities are set in the process. Through this process, we tend to find out major important people who have earned their pragmatism by way of impact or mere approaches .

I'm about to produce details on an important man in my life and I hope you enjoy every bit of the tale .

THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE

The most important person in my life is my dad maybe shocking for someothers who would be expecting a male or female friend but my life circumstances has me seeing the true expanse of loyalty, love and trust shown by my dad.

What else would I need to measure the test of importance !

Nature's brought everyone to knowledge of a man whose loins contributed to their existence but in my case I got a rare gem and gift from the sky , and I'll explain that in due process .

The importance of my Dad has been over emphasized and just so much to take total count of but I'll give short highlights that would help me show the hype of this great man . Firstly every important person leaves a legacy and feasible impact as a measure of his importance in your life and my dad was one of such.

I was born into a humble background where every female daughter had their limit and biggest heaven to be secondary school education and just after that, became the average house girl exposed to several distractions and limited impact.

Well I had dreams of not just becoming a graduate but I had a passion for a course which almost everyone considered impossible due to it was perceived to be masculine. My father had to preferentially give me treatments not as to spoiling me but making sure I avoided unnecessary errands and more time for my studies and mental health . The financial odds were against and inspite of this, landed properties were sold because of me ,include pledges.

Family issues lingered between my father and his extended family due to his rigid decision to train me to the height of my choice. Comfortable feeding ,clothing and shelter he denied himself to see i was properly educated and this is just more than an average father would do .

Times he had to do the feminine chores just to save me more time to do my education research. Walking miles to get me every material I needed for my success and I just feel that irrespective of the fact that I've gotten a lot of favors in my life, none supersedes this.

Of all fathers in my home town, my dad missed levy payments and other contributions just to ensure I was given all I needed. My brothers were instructed to be with me once I was going once it was above 6pm .
His ability to reprimand my shortcomings and calmly instruct me on the right decisions to make in my age of adolescence exuberance and how he taught me the nittis grittis of sex education and making sure I experienced no incessant abuse of any kind from anyone .

His domestic coordination was great as he treated everyone with love and raised everyone with not just great religious ,but great moral standards too. My tertiary education is drawing to a close and all thanks to this great man who made sure my dreams are perfected.

Memories with my dad ,are just too many to pick a few but in cases like this we just have to mention few for the records. My dad is one of the nicest persons I'll ever know and just as he preferential treated me ,I still picture times in my childhood stage where chunks of meat were intentionally left in his plates which he allowed for me alone to carry.

In my adolescent period too, I don't forget the fact that he was the first person to know about my menstrual flow at the first sight of it after which he made the whole situation feel great though it looked messy . He gave me great words of advice after which he handed me over to my mum for mother-to- daughter advices .

A jiffy, won't take memories of my dad selling off an expensive village titled chieftaincy dress ,simply because I needed money to pay for my admission acceptance fees.This incident created a scene as his brothers asked if he was under a spell but a dogged mind to train his daughter was the case here .

Lifting me up whenever I visit home with his feeble and aging bones are all memories I wish would never cease including the fact that he ensures I eat from same plate with him and his wife for dinner. I feel ,I owe my dad the world and every honor in it and with time I'll prove the reciprocation of love to this great man.

Cool evenings too would have him call me alone and tell me how much he wished I was a man ,but nature had her way .
The life of my dad ,shows the real value of a father and a rare display of love and care over a child .
What greater importance exceeds this of a father who gives his daughter the right path to follow and enjoy the future .

Thank you steemit academy
