We all go through some experiences in life. Some come and we enjoy them while some come as life time lessons. Today I will share with you a true story of my best and worst day of my life.

I will start with the worst day of my life.
Recently, I shared with you how I found a hard time choosing which sport I wanted to take on. I had three sports at that time and loved all of them but was supposed to prioritize and go with one! I chose tennis and upto now, I don't regret because my father was a tennis legend. One of the greatest stars of his time.

Mr. Eric Ofoyuru is the name of my father. He was born and raised in Nebbi District. He started playing tennis at a tender age and this helped him become one of the great tennis players of his time. He played tennis not that he wanted to earn a living but because he was so passionate about it.

My dad would gladly give up on any other appointment as long as they were to interrupt with his tennis games. He trained day and night untill he fully mastered the game. In his early 20’s he had already become a tennis couch and trained both kids and adults

My dad got married and gave birth to two children, me and my sister Martha. He made sure we loved the game just like him. He trained us and we caught up so fast. We were able to join the national team and got scholarships because of the talent our dad had invested in us.

We traveled to different countries playing tennis but my dad travelled almost the whole world playing the sport. He went to Countries like Denmark, Germany, Spain, South Africa, All the East African countries, to mention but a few. He also won a lot of medals and trophies for himself as you can see in the family photo.

All was well until my dad developed a strange illness. We tried out various hospitals to save his life but all in vain. His candle blew out on 1st August, 2006. The day we burried him was the worst day my life has ever faced🥺 I saw how all his talent and everything he worked hard for was being laid down in the world of the dead! It's at this point, I realized that the grave yard is the richest place on earth because it's there that all untold dreams, unshared visions, unexpressed talents and unachieved goals are burried .

I promised my dad that I will carry on his legacy and upto now I have never stopped playing tennis. Father wherever you are, just know you raised a strong son and you will forever live in me! I miss you daddy🥺

Here is the best day of my life!

Every child starts school at a tender age. Some children cry in the morning because they don’t want to wake up and go to school. Some just go because their parents told them to do so but in actual sense they be seeing no reason as to why they should go to school every morning. It's untill one grows up that they know that their parents were helping them lay a firm future foundation for themselves.

My academic journey was a smooth one since I had scholarship due to my tennis talent. I never missed school any day because of tuition or any school requirements. I studied very well until I reached University. I became so busy and I wasn't giving my Bachelor of Business Administration course all the time it required. At one point I had to do a retake in Business Statistics, I felt so bad! I arrogantly skipped internship and before I could know it I had missing marks in that area.

Everything became so stressing as the graduation date drew closer. I was asking myself if my name will appear on the graduation list. Im really grateful to God because just like that I found myself with 70% in internship, a mark I dint expect.

I checked on the graduation list and my name was among those graduating! 31st October, 2006 will always be the best day of my life because its then that I was honoured with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. I learnt that somethings we don't get because we deserve them but it's God's grace that helps us through it all.
