Hi beautiful people of @steemalive Community, i hope y'all had a wandeful weekend. We are already into the last week of the engagement challenge which is week4 and I am happy to be dropping down my week4 day1 challenge in this community today. The contest is talking about about The Worst day and the best day of our lives. So without further wasting any time, let me begin with my story

Life is full of ups and downs which is thesame like the price of a cryptocurrency which is always bullish and at sometimes bearish. There is no human being who will tell us that he/she has lived an enjoyable life without experiencing any downsides or he/she has been living life full full of sorrows and mysteries without experiencing a breakthrough and a turn around

My life have been full of ups and downs but I'm always grateful to God almighty for the protection, provision and for the guidance because anytime I'm down, he always lift me up to be more stronger.

I have experience so many worst days in my life such as having accidents, losing family members, going through sicknesses, having terrible dreams, people referring me as bad/corrupt person and so many other things. However, I will choose just one and talk about it. I have also encountered so many good days in my life such as my graduation day, passing my GCE examinations, hearing good news about my family members progress in life and so many others

I could have talked about the death of my mom but it's so pathetic and sorrowful 😔, so I will be talking about the recent happenings which I will be considering as my worst day of my life

This day happened last week Sartuday. It all started that day when I had terrible dreams and nightmares. My grandMa who is in living with my siblings in the village had to send us food. She had harvested food from the farm the previous day and on Saturday that day very early in the morning, she when to the motor park station so that she could pay the driver to carry the food and transport it to the City so that I can go and carry it in the park. So unfortunately for her and for me, the Ambazonia Fighter's had suddenly blocked the road. So traveling that day automatically had to stopped.

My grandMa was so devastated, stranded and frustrated 🥴. She called me and informed me about the incident and I was also sad. "Na so ma day take spoil"

Later that day in the afternoon, I was hearing some flying news and rumors about some Steemians questioning my integrity and loyalty on this steemit platform as they where saying that I am not using my steemit account alone because of how effective and efficient my account is growing. Some said it's impossible for one person to be dropping down 5 crypto assignments weekly, others said it's impossible for me to be winning back to back on the steemit Engagement Challenge because it will be impossible for me to be effectively participating in all the challenges. And others said am surly using my account with my family members in the house or with my closed friends as they are helping me to achieve all this growth. I have never experienced such accusations in my life before. So I was feeling very bad and weak. I later on wrote about my frustration here as I felt so bad, weak and discouraged and this later made me not to regularly post again as I was passing through alot

To crown what actually made last Sartuday the worst day of my life, it was when my kid brother called me in the evening and told me the saddest news as he informed me about his twin brother's motor bike accident. It was almost like a gastly accident because my kid brother almost lost his life that day. It was at 6pm that day when I heard this terrible incident, coupled to what earlier happened as the roads where blocked and my grandma couldn't send us food, Steemians on steemit platform accusing me of friends/families assisting me on my account, I assumed that it was really indeed an unlucky day for me.🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

What actually touched me most was my kid brother's accident which can be read here because he almost lost his life. I was so terrified because he was also preparing for his GCE examinations.

From all what happened, I learned alot of lessons which I will be highlighting a few below

• Learned never to believe anything rumors people say about me because they don't know me and what I am capable of doing.

• I also learned not to talked about it again especially if what they are saying are all lies

• I also learned to always remain strong and courageous no matter what happens in life because a weak man can't do anything

The best day of my life happened to be the day of my graduation from the University 2yrs ago. It was like an accomplishment for me that day because of the joy and happiness I felt that. I felt so much within me that day and was no left with any options than to express my happiness in the open with my friends and family

That day was like a dream day to me because it was not easy all along. I had encountered alot of difficulties during my school days and I almost gave up. I was studying Mechanical Engineering which required alot of money despite my poor background. There where times in year2 and year3 when almost gave up my studies because of financial crises and no one to help me out. My grandMa together with my very few friends where the the people that gave me reasons and hopes of continueing my education because my best friend was always there helping me with alot of school needs like paying for my hand-outs most often when ever lecturers brought them to us. He had also been constantly paying for my photocopy notes

During our last year of study, we where defending on a project which was very expensive because we where to "Design and Realization A Column With Base Table Of A Bench Drilling Machine". This project was so costly and too expensive. It was this my friend that help me out because on my own, I couldn't pay all the money that was required of us to pay so that we could buy mechanical parts and do the design and Realization of the drilling machine

When all this was over, I was just praying that graduation should approach fast so that I could graduate and be free from stress. When the graduation 🎓 day finally arrived,it was like a dream come true 😊, I felt like I have succeeded in life because it wasn't easy all along

I celebrated that day with closed friends, family and my course mates. We started by celebrating the day in school, then left to the house and continued with the celebration because there was enough food to eat and drinks to drink. Everyone was happy that day, we ended that day in a club because it was one of the last days we could enjoy together as course mates and class mates since everyone was to part their own ways emmidiately after the graduation.

So, we took that day as an opportunity to celebrate it in a special way as we had alot of fun amongs our selves. Everyone was filled with joy and we wished that day didn't end as we wished it could be a "forever" day of celebration and enjoyment

I learned alot of life lessons that day. I will be briefing on them below

• I learned that true friends exist because I was so so happy with the friends I had during my study days in school as I was helped out financially in most situations I find my self

• I learned that hardwork and persiverance have no subsist because despite all the challenges, I was still able to overcome them via my hardwork and persiverance and finally succeeded in pursuing my education

• I also learned that helping others give satisfaction to our selves, boost our health and gives us sense of well-being

• I learned that life doesn't necessarily have to be simple for you to be successful because we can still pass through thick and thins before experiencing a breakthrough

Thanks so much for your time everyone, I am inviting my fellow friends @tangwe-rene, @tenguhatanga, @wyzcekunited, @monjuapollonia, and @echamroland to come and participate in this amazing contest

My regards : @chiabertrand
