My life has not been the best but quite balanced. I plan to graduate from secondary school and go to the city to further my education at the city. I planned on going to Lagos. From the stories Iâve heard so far, I know itâs a big city and a better place than my village. I lived in a small village in Abeokuta, I had friends all round and people loved me.
âWell done Rukaâ I greeted a girl washing clothes.
I walked home quickly to share the good news with my family. Every year I always come home with awards and prizes from school. And this year I got it again.
âmama, papa iâm backâ I greeted
âSakira, how are youâ my mom greeted
âIâm fineâ I replied âwhereâs papaâ I asked
âhe went fishingâ she said.
âOKâ I left and went to change.
âmama see what i got this yearâ I said showing her the medal.
âyou are always the best now hurry and go show your fatherâ she said.
I left the house and ran to the stream. i passed through the forest and reached the stream. I saw my father struggling with his net trying to catch fishes.
âpapaâ I called and he looked up
âSakiraâ he called and smiled.
I ran into the stream and hugged him.
âhow was schoolâ he asked
âgood.â I said as I brought out the medal âI got this again this yearâ I said.
âmy brilliant girl, I knew you would be the best again this yearâ he said smiling
âIâll never let you down. Iâll keep on being the bestâ i said.
âthatâs my girlâ he smiled and hugged me again.
