OF COURSE I AM A REFLECTION OF SUCCESS

Of COURSE I am a reflection of success

It was only yesterday, I was lost, hopeless and hollow.

Ponytails, pumps and gorgeous smiles defined who I was.

Look at me now, come on, and take a look

 Or

Does my confidence repulse you?

Or

 Is it my diligence offending you?

Or

Is it that I am walking like I have got hardiness pumping in my veins?

My grand paps/father once told me “honey, you can become anything you want”

From then onwards,

My dreams are infinite, my ambitions limitless

I have conquered everything that has come my way

And, I assure you,

I shall victoriously conquer what is yet to come!

To all those who think I am all household chores and nothing out of place

Hahahhh, shock on you

I am all messy; I am an engineer in the making, a success story waiting to be published.

This is not a dream, fellow students. This is a guarantee!

Success is not just a word, an ordinary word like happy or funny. Success is a seven letter word with an array of meanings.

Let me define success for you. Success is achieving a goal, success is achieving a dream.

Success is me in 10 years.

Can I get an Amen! Success is you in the future

Listen, listen carefully, Allan Cormack did not invent the CT scan, accidentally; neither did Alex Jeffrey stumble upon DNA finger printing.

Hardwork , focus , perseverance , motivation , confidence and courage was involved  in making them who they are now.

I am here to tell you,

If they made it, then you can. Yes, you can become anything you want to be. Lawyer, doctor, actor, the list is endless.

I have read countless books, flipped infinite magazines.

I have read about how our forefathers fought for our education, with every single limb they had.

I have understood how the struggle was real, the hassle tough.

But

Here we are,

Atrocious and impulsive in our actions,

Mindlessly throwing away what our forefathers fought hard to provide.

What are we? Who are we?

Society we are ungracious, headless and unmindful hormonal teenagers.

But

We have room to prove them wrong!

How about we take a stand to better ourselves? How about we produce the Einstein’s of tomorrow or how about we give rise to the Nelson Mandela of the future, or how about we become the change of today!

I know this is possible because as Barrack Obama once said,

“Yes we can”
