These people are behind my vital growth in life
Getting to the stage I am today was never by my efforts alone. I have been surrounded by many people who have contributed to my vital growth in life, right from my childhood stage. If I had missed the right path as a teenage girl then, I wouldn't have been here telling this story and expressing my gratitude to these people who have been the instrument of the point I am at in life today; they are my circle of influence.

Before I started understanding what life is all about, I got myself into a situation that would have ruined me ignorantly. Thanks to my grandmother, who took it upon herself to train me in becoming a responsible adult as I lived with her from age 7 until I got married, I remember the strict training, the discipline, the restrictions, and all of that. It wasn't a sweet experience then, but I later discovered the gravity of what she did for me. This woman played a vital role in my life as she laid a solid foundation for my living responsibly, as I was already on a path that could have led me into destruction. She is my number one influence, and I appreciate all her efforts in ensuring that my life takes a new turn as I Journey into adulthood.
You will agree with me that not all siblings in a family carry each other along. I have seen some older siblings in a family who made it in life, got married immediately, and began their new home without bothering about their younger siblings. I lost my Dad so early, and my siblings and my mom worked tirelessly to see that my dreams in life were achieved. I may not have gotten all my dreams yet, but my family is a great source of where I am today. My elder brother never seized the opportunity to remind me to be focused on life, avoid the noises around me, and keep pursuing my dream. Most of his words always ring like a bell in my brain, and it triggers me to remain focused. I am forever grateful to my family for their endless support,both spiritually, emotionally, financially, and otherwise.
When things were too rough for my family to the point that they considered my temporary dropping out of school, Uncle Dave stepped in and took over my academic expenses. My uncle did not only support my academics but also helped build my moral life for good. He became a counselor to me and assisted me greatly until I got married. Even as a married woman, he still checks on me to be sure I am performing my duties well as a wife.
Then I have my lovely friend, Amiableamara. I thank God for the day our paths crossed. This lady is endowed with so much wisdom from her creator. Amiable always want to see me grow in life, and she never seized the opportunity to share a life-transforming opportunity with me. She was also part of the reason why I said yes to Hive, and since that day, my life has taken another shape.
I don't think I will be tired of appreciating the main man who made me embrace the crypto world. Kenechukwu97, you shall live long! I won't tag you here, but maybe you will still find your way to this blog. You know, whenever I look around my life currently and see where I am, I run to your DM to keep saying, Thank you, Kene. You must have been tired of my constant appreciation, but this heart is just grateful for the priceless opportunity you showed me. For all your assistance so far in making sure that I make it in life, I say thank you so much.
And then finally, my online family—you guys are one of the best things that have happened to me. I love and celebrate you all for all the helping hands you have stretched out into my life in one way or another. Thank you, thank you, my lovely hive family.
This heart is grateful😇🧡.
Much appreciated for all you do for Nkem in assisting her growth in life.

Awww, I read this with my tired eyes and it brought smiles on my face. This is so lovely. I am happy that your grandmother was there to mold you into a loving and trustworthy woman that you are today. Siblings love is also second to none. I see how they support you in everything you do.

Kene is a good person indeed, he has a helping heart for others. I 'm sorry to hear about the early departure of your father.

First of all, thanks to your grandma for grooming you into the best woman, mother, wife and friend.
Thank you, Kene for convincing Nkem to join Hive, I wouldn´t have known such a beautiful soul as you.
Wait, you mentioned your friend Amiable.... it´s been a while since I have seen her posts. Is she still active?
People will always be there to support us, we just have to pray and find the right ones for us.
Smiles 😊
Grandma did a great job in my life. Kene is a rare gem
Amiable isn't too active due to her offline job
I really appreciate your sweet words princess ❤️
Oh okay... send my regards to her.
You are always welcome too.
Thanks for sharing such a deeply personal reflection - was a great read. Take care.
Thank you so much for your time in my blog
Yoruba has an adage: "People are your Clothe" What this actually meant is that for your life to be beautiful you need to have good people, whether permanently or temporarily, their influence will last forever
Thank God you met good people and they help beautify your life
You are right here
I really appreciate your input

So many people today are just gifted to make people grow and most especially those around them. Your friend is the best human being on earth.
I agree with you
Thanks for your time in my blog ❤️
Omoh... Your list is long ooooo and I know you want to fit in more names. Haha. You are truly amazing and I'm glad to see how you have been growing on the blockchain.
I look up to you and the life of generosity you have been living. It's truly amazing and I'm already Blessed to have an Auntie like you. Haha. I dunno about 'Cousin'. That sounds weird to me whenever I say that. Lol. Thanks so much for being an amazing person.
The world is already your oyster and you are doing a very amazing job. God Bless You so much.
Hehehe, he found the post 🤦🤦
I didn't tag you oo 😂

Thank you so much
your uncle must be so nice, taking full responsibility for your education is not an easy thing, I am sure he would also have his own kids to carter for. Not everyone can actually do what he did. I am sure he must have loved your dad so much (if he was his brother) to suggest to help.
And all thanks to your grandly for being there for you and training you all to this point.
Aww. Same here, same here.
Good or bad, the family has that unique impact on our whole being.
And also, with Coach @kenechukwu97, I don't know where to pick me up if he hasn't come to my rescue. Haha forever grateful ❤️

Family is a big part of our lives and you realize this when you see them coming through for you time and time again even when we sometimes feel we don't deserve it.
#dreemerforlife
You are right
Thanks for your nice words 👍
What a lovely family you have, it is good to remember the past and burst into laughter because of the positive people that surrounded you, I give kudos to your grandmother for taking good care of you since 7 years old, she is indeed a great mother, and having good friends and family who are always in support of your dreams is very good because if they are not positive to you they may pull your energy back.

Good friends with nice family is what we need to excel. With it, life becomes easier
Thanks for making it here
