LETS UNDERSTAND THESE POINTS

Life tends out to be a circle which we evolve in. Each bd everyone live a life full of beautiful and sad moments. The truth about it is that it is never the same situation always no matter who you are. That's to say NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT. You can be happy today and sad tomorrow or the next second, a rich man today and a poor man tomorrow and vice versa. This is happening due to several factors which are internal or external affecting our lifestyle.

The external factors which affects our situations either good or bad include

• Influence from others living around you. Each day we get to interact with people of different race, tribe or mental health for work, school, business etc. The outcome of this may affect us positively or negatively depending on what you do. Hence other people tend to influence your sad moments or happy moments

• Environmental factors play a lot on many people in so many ways. In an area with environmental hazards like flooding, landslides, pollution causes great deads or health situations which many people are not happy about. Favourable environmental conditions makes people happy especially farmers.

Internal factors maybe due to your individual mental or psychological health which tends to affect you positively or negatively

INTO THE CONTEST

Growing up like every human being I have had several experiences in life which are either happy or sad. These moments are stuck in my memory which I can never forget.

1. THE WORST DAY OF mTy LIFE

I have so many bad experiences in my life which leave tears in my eyes always like loosing my grandpa, loosing my job due to covid-19, school punishment and home punishment. The one I shall never forget is been beaten by mother because I disobeyed her and went for swimming.

WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO WHAT WORST DAY EXPERIENCE?

About 21 years ago when I was around 10 years old I had an experience which left me with a swollen arm till today. Growing up in my hometown we had so many exciting activities like playing around, swimming and other games which were always interesting and we will forget about our house chores at times. As a swimming activity, we would move about 200 metres away from the house to a stream we called RIVER OYAYA. There we would swimm till dusk but before we swam we blocked the flowing water down stream with stems of plantain and other materials that can hold the water from passing. This made it rise up to our chest level then we would swimm and play in the river.

WHAT DID YOU GET WRONG ON THAT DAY?

My mother always warned me not to go there and explained the dangers of us swimming but I didn't listen. On a fateful Saturday morning my twin brother and I hurriedly finished our house chores, took our clothes to go wash in that stream with other children. We did the necessary to get the water to the level we wanted. We washed all the clothes, spread them on the grass by the river and engaged in our swimming activity. As usual we retired home around 4:00pm looking like little demons. As children we thought our mother knew we swam because we looked white so this day we had body cream to apply after swimming. On arrival the house my mother had looked for a long whip for us. When she asked where we were all day we lied about playing in our neighbors house. She told us we were at that river again and we still refused. Out of anger she trashed me leaving my brother ( since he was a patient). I can never forget the lashes she gave me. All the whip she had got broken on me and when her junior sister came to intervene she trashed her too. She was so angry that she later took her belt to continue. Seeing the belt and in fear I decided to run but she sent the iron side after me which caught my left hand and sprained my wrist. The hand got swollen and I couldn't use it for days

The pains I went through that day made me never go to that stream again and my swimming ended till today. The day was also a bad day because as I was swimming I saw a big snake in the water which would have bitten me and my story have ended. In fact that was whatafe us to return home before night fall as we were all scared.

WHAT LESSON (s) DID YOU LEARN FROM THAT WORST DAY EXPERIENCE?

• OBEY MY PARENTS
This particular day taught me a great lesson to always obey my parents always which I am doing till now. Our parents are our guide here in earth and so we should be wise enough to listen to them carefully and do what they say

• NEVER TELL LIES
First I had committed a crime and lying just made matter worst. If I had spoken the truth my mother wouldn't have beaten me to the extend of injuring me. My lies only provoked her anger which wasn't good and so learned not to tell lies even now. If I do my mother will know immediately I am lying.

• MY MOTHERS LOVE FOR US

This incident made me understand how much my mother loved us. She knew about the dangers and about the big snake (python) which is always around that stream so she didn't want us to be it's victim one day. Seeing the snake and understanding my mother's view made me know how much she loved me.

2. THE BEST DAY OF mTy LIFE

When it comes to best days I can say everyday is good but I have had special moments which I keep the memories so close to my heart. I will share with one of my best days

WHAT CONTRIBUTED TO THAT BEST DAY EXPERIENCE?

The best day I had was on December 19 2018 when I greaduated with a first class honour for my BSc. I was happy because it was a successful day after many tough moments in school and in the field. This was a joyous day for me and my family.

WHAT DID YOU GET RIGHT ON THAT DAY?

In life I have learned to take my education seriously as it was the only way I can say THANK YOU TO MY PARENTS loving and caring for me. As my goals I made sure I did well in school so I emerge as one of the best students

Firstly I attended an agricultural training program for four years and due to my hard work and discipline, I emerged the first on the graduation day. Well I was surprised as I had health issues which disturbed me but I didn't give up. Going to the university I spent two more years and obtained my BSc in agricultural technology. I was happy about it too. During the school year I had problems with my results as my scores for a course was given to another person which failed me in the course. With this situation I wasn't myself and trying several times to get if fixed failed. I got disappointed but God answered my prayers and two days to the graduation I was informed my situation had been regularised. This was the best thing that happened to me as I thought I won't graduate with my mates. This news brought joy to my family and on that day my grandpa left the village and came to celebrate bringing me gifts and food items. My day was made having my grandpa around.

On my graduation day

WHAT LESSON (s) DID I LEARN FROM THAT BEST DAY EXPERIENCE?

• EDUCATION IS IMPORTANT
The joy of every parent is to see their children succeed in school and so as a child I owe it to my family to do well in school and make them proud

• HARD WORK IS GOOD
I have learned that every successful person is one who works hard. There's no man who lazy aroun and succeed. You must work if you want to achieve greatness. This is keep in my mind always

• FAMILY IS GOLD
When I look at my success I understand what my family means for me. They are there at every moment of my life. This is love for me

• NEVER GIVE UP
In life I have learned never to loose hope no matter how the situation presents myse. Somethings may seem not to be possible at a moment but I assure myself that it is well just like what happened with my scores

CONCLUSION

In general our lives are made up of sad and happy moments and there is no way we can do with them. They have become part and parcel of our lives. As an advice to you my friends

DO NOT LET ANYTHING OR ANYONE TAKE AWAY UOUR HAPPINESS NO MATTER WHAT

This is the principle I use and tmit keeps my life moving and overcoming my challenges day without letting them burden me so much.
