The year 2025 was an awesome year for me, even though there were lots of ups and downs but I'm still grateful for life. It was a blessed year and I believe 2026 will be far better than last year.
As we all know life itself is a risk and if you want to do big things in life, you have to take risk. Not taking risks, is simply not daring big things. Think of any rich or influential man who does not take risks, there is none.
Stepping out of our various houses is a big risk because we don't know what can befall us. In 2025, I took the biggest risk by stepping up in my career, it took me alot of sacrifice to achieve my set goals.
As we all know motherhood can be demanding. I put to bed 0ctober 2024, all through those period, I was out of job. It was mentally draining for me because I was having challenges financially, and adding to the fact that I just put to bed. During this period it was as if my life was on hold, coupled with fact that I have a lot of set goals to achieve.
When my baby was four months, I decided to pick up myself and began to take steps in achieving my set goals. But as you know it's not quite easy especially when you have a baby. There are quite lot of limitations when you have a baby. With my four month baby, I travel to another state to write a postgraduate exam, it wasn't easy, especially when traveling on public transport, but yet it worth it. My husband was a pillar of support throughout.
After the exams, I started applying to schools especially schools that has creche where can as well work and takecare of my baby. After few months I got a place but the pay was not much but the work was so tidious, I work from 7:30am to 6pm coupled with the fact that I will still do house chores, take of my baby and also write lesson note at night. The work was so overwhelming that I have resign due to my health.
I was back to square one, I was totally confused on the next step to take. After few weeks I decided to enroll my baby to a creche close by, it was indeed a big risk for me, but I believe it was a good step to take so that I can be more focused. Many people abuse me that why can't I wait till two years before enrolling him because they believe he is still a baby.
But indeed I'm grateful I took that bold step because it help my baby positively and assisted me getting more focused. Not quite long after, I got a scholarship offer and a job far better than my previous job.
Remember there are some risk worth taking, enrolling my child then was a big risk coupled with the fact that he is still a baby but it really help him positively and as well help me stay focused in actualizing my set goals, so I never regretted taking such step.
I will love to take such risk again and again as long as it will make a positive impact. There is no progress without a risk, Indeed life is a risk!!!
