Introduction

Whoopee! I'm so excited to see another beautiful day. Hello fellow steemians and members of this magnificent community I'm so happy that I could join this contest organized by @goodybest. I love writing . I love sharing my stories and moments of life with others. I'm also very happy for the possibility of seeing so many birthdays of my life. My birthday is drifting close. I will be plus 1 on the 2nd of November. Happy birthday to me in advance. Let me dive down to my stories or moments of life real quick. I hope you will like my stories.

THE OUTING WITH MY STUDENTS (LUNCH TIME WITH ALL MY APPRENTICE)

I want to share with you a splendid moment I won't forget in a hurry in my life.
It was early this year when we decided to go out as a family and have a lunch together. It was awesome. I can remember everything like it's just yesterday. Our host was my youngest student Michael Aniedi. He's more than just a student, that guy is like a son to me. We are actually living together like a father and son.
We all took public transportation from our different homes and met at the nearest bus stop close to Chicken Republic that is located in Ikot Ekpene road, by Oku street in Uyo. Uyo is the capital of Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria.
We then headed into the eaterie and got down to the business of the day.

Life is beautiful when you share tantalizing moments with love ones.

Since I starting teaching people how to draw this was the first time I have had the opportunity of going out with my students.

I don't have much to say. Let the few photos speak for itself.

2. A VISIT TO MY VILLAGE STREAM

Some moments in life may sound funny or boring to other people, especially when the writeup is lengthy, but I want to let you know that the owner of the memories will never take his or her moments for granted.
It means a lot to them.
Here is a little story of how I visited my village during Christmas season and my little cousin took me to the village stream.

It was December 2023 and I promised my Dad that I will visit him in the village and spend a couple of days with him and my cousins(family).

Me and my cousin

I'm based in Uyo. My village is a small community named Ndun Utim in Etinan local government area.
The village is not developed but those staying in the village loves their village the way it is.

I won't lie to you as an artist and a photographer, I love nature, so my village is still crude, natural and serene.

The stream

Here we go, my little cousin didn't even wait for me to come. we actually spoke on the phone and he promised to take me to the stream when I come around.
I really enjoyed the moments we spent together, especially in the stream. I don't mean to be braggadocios, my village stream is very clean. I went with a 25 litre of gallon to fetch water for my Dad.

My cousins also didn't same but with smaller gallons since they're still kids.

There are a few photos I took during the euphoria of the moments.

Summary

Life is beautiful. Life is short yet learning to enjoy the process of living makes it worth living.
Enjoying the journey is worth more than waiting to be happy at the end of the trip or destination.
