Growing up in Umueshi, Ideato South LGA, Imo State, I had big dreams. I attended Saint Andrews Primary School and Umueshi Secondary School, where I excelled in my WAEC exams. However, life had other plans. The loss of my father shattered my plans for further education.
But I didn't give up. I learned a trade – selling fairly used clothes – and started my own business. I traveled to Enugu to buy bales of children's wear, which I sell wholesale and retail.
Years later, I decided to pursue my educational dreams again. I enrolled in a part-time program at the Institute of Management and Technology (IMT) Enugu, where I studied Business Administration. And I'm proud to say I graduated with flying colors!
This experience not only deepened my knowledge of business but also equipped me with the skills to run my enterprise more effectively. Through this journey, I've learned the importance of resilience, hard work, and determination. Life can be tough, but it's how we respond that matters. My advice to others is: don't relent, even in the face of difficulty. Keep pushing forward, and you'll find a way to succeed.
How does this look?
