Hi, Kids and Lovers of kids,
After a long break from the last Season of the engagement challenge, I was determined to participate in this New Season which is just beginning now.
And it is great to start with the kid’s community, I consider this a great way to motivate kids and maybe other lovers of kids around the globe, it will interest you to know that relating this true life Story is a sort of motivation to me as well and a reminder to me that I still have a lot to accomplish in life.
So, What were my thoughts and dreams Some years back when I was a kid? Follow along as I relate my true life Story.
Dream of a Young Boy
The young boy in this context is me and many years ago when I was a kid, I use to dream of becoming an Engineer, Electrical Engineer to be precise, the reason was that back then I use to love electricity a lot.
I love electronics too and at that time my dad was also selling electronics like Radio, World Clock, and Some trending toys for kids back then, I was always at a very happy moment when surrounded by these toys just like every other kid would.
But Something was different in my own case, what was that? I always wanted to repair those stuff on my own without having any knowledge of how to do them prior to that time.
Same thing with electricity. Due to our Electrical bad situation in the country, I was always dreaming of bringing a solution to Such situations, even with the little knowledge I had.
I also dreamt of having my own house at age 27, having a family of my own in my late twenties or early thirties, and maybe having a car too. I was also thinking of having plenty of money so as to help others too.
And the reality?
Sometimes, life doesn’t work the way we think or hope for. That was what I later discovered in life and I get used to it. Did those dreams come true? Well Some of them came true but some didn’t.
Me becoming an engineer was a dream come true, and not just an engineer, but an Electrical and Electronics Engineer. That is one of my dream that has come into reality.
And as for solving the electricity bad Situation in my Country, I recently went for Solar Photovoltaic training in which I have acquired much of what is needed to install a solar PV System in a location.
Concerning that training you can read Some of the activities I wrote down through my diary games below:
The Diary Game: | I am a Certify Solar PV installer | [29th June,2022] |#burnsteem25
And I just Installed the first Solar PV in Nigeria which you can read about here through my post Entitled: Steem Solar PV Is Finally A reality In Nigeria, Thank you For The Supports.
And that is just the starting point of solving the electricity Problems in Nigeria, Hopefully, I will do more of that and even assist in other African countries.
I can actually repair most electronic gadgets and also design and build Some electronics circuits, as a matter of fact, I built many electronics circuits back then when I was in school and I still have the knowledge till now, I can design and build many other electronics if I want to if you must know, this was also part of my dreams that came true.
My dream of getting my own house before thirty didn’t happen, getting married in my late twenties didn’t happen, having a family of my own in my early thirties didn’t happen and now, I am over thirty, it still didn’t happen.
Any Effort?
I am Working So hard to reach there and I am focused on it and I strongly believe, I will still get there very soon.
Lesson?
In life, everything has its own time, you don’t have to force it, you don’t have to kill yourself over it, just follow the process and be focused, and you will still get there.
Do not compete yourself with peers or anyone, there is no need to compete, do you know why?
Because, right now in Nigeria, it is 12am, whereas in your zone it could be 10 pm, 9 pm, or 1am, what’s my point? We all have a different time zone, so if Mr. A Could achieve his dreams before you, don’t be work up, your time is Coming. But don’t ever think you can’t achieve it because you can.
Before I leave to sleep, I will like you all to listen to the lyrics of this beautiful music from my great friends. Enjoy!!!
I'm glad you were able to make your dream come true and graduate as an engineer; profession from which you have made great contributions to the development of your country.
There is still a long time to materialize your dreams, have your own home and your family, at any time you can make it come true.

Woow brother, I'm happy to hear about your childhood dreams which was all about engineering specifically electrical engineering which you loved so much and work hard in becoming one. I love your activities as you are working extra hard in achieving your dreams and I most say that you already have alot of skills in this field. Just a matter of time now as you will be a full time electrician. I pray 🙏 may God bless you through this path until you succeed in achieving your dreams dear brother
I wish to also learn some skills from you because I so much love electrical engineering very much though I'm more interested in mechanical Engineering which I'm also working hard in achieving it. But electrical and mechanic are antagonistic and very similar that's why I will be interested in learning some electrical skills from you if you wouldn't mind brother
God bless you, stay safe

Thank you very much Bro. Those are great Commendations.
let me correct one Impression below :
I have been a Certified and full-time electrician.
However, I hope to achieve my other goals and dream in the future.
Thank you for stopping by, perhaps, it would be nice to read about your childhood dream.
And as for teaching you some of my Skills, that's really not a problem, but you have to come to Nigeria or you pay a flight for me to come to Cameron, how about that?

Amigo muy bonita tu participación 🤗 si hay algo que me encanta de steemit es que a través de sus post puedo conocer a las personas.
Me encanto tu experiencia profesional 🤗 yo también soy Ingeniero pero de sistemas desde hace más de 10 años y no he podido ejercer 😞 porque me casé y me dedique al cuidado de mis niñas y de mi hogar.
Se nota que eres un gran ser humano 🙏 ya verás que pronto encontrarás a esa mujer con la que tendrás una maravillosa familia 🙏 🤗

Wow. This is beautiful. To see that you had a childhood dream of becoming an electrical engineer and you have done just that. I believe solving the problem of electricity in your country is important.
Solar energy is the new direction in our lives and in Africa. I hope people will be able to install it more.
Good luck in the contest

I remember as a kid I used to love electronics very much too. I had wanted to venture into the field of computer engineering first but after much deliberation I decided to go with computer science ( the software part). I can still remember vividly how I used ti dismantle my dads radio and try to repair them. In some situations I was successful but in other it was trrrible 😂. There was this time I had ti pretend I was sick just to avoid the punishment of being beaten for spoiling the radio😂.
Anyways am happy you were able to stick to your passion and chase your dreams.
Concerning this project, I think I was one of the people who followed your blog with all attentiveness because of this particular project. I hoped that it could be come successful and to see how it worked out. I was even able to watch some of the videos which our movie Ngoenyi uploaded on her page.
I was amazed at how your knew all the names of the gadgets and stuff😀😂, I guess you had a good mentor.
Well life happens sometimes as your rightly said. Am sure you will get married soon enough and have wonderful kids and have your dream car.

@ubongudofot
It is really interesting to see that went you were young ,you had a lot of inspiration for engineering as far as eectricity and electronic were concerned and also it also interesting that you also have that love of for repair of those things without any body concerned and that was great because I help build your skills on this thing but I must say say that your dad really play a great role in your career and I must say that spirit grow and develop in you and directed you towards your dream
Until you can also installed your own solar panels which is so beautiful .
Thank God from r your parents who helped you achieve those dream of your and I really appreciate them for playing a great path in your career

Hi @ubongudofot, your dream of becoming an Engineer, Electrical Engineer is cool😎 as a young guy. And is also true that life sometimes doesn’t work the way we think or hope for, but I am glad that you are doing good in your work. And you have already achieved many things in life like the training you just got and now you can install and maintain solar. That's a great achievement guy!
