The certified writer

On the 28th of May 2022, I went along with a non-profit I volunteer for called TEAK Foundations for a charity event at Bariga(Lagos) to celebrate Children's day with the children in the area. Of what use is feeding them just once and for them to be hungry tomorrow "I often thought". It feels like a waste of time. It feels like they are not being helped. I often thought that they should be empowered if they are adults so they can begin to feed themselves and for children, it would be better if a farm or food bank can be created as this would be quite sustainable.  Looking at it from this angle would make you agree with me that charity events are not sustainable but does it make them unnecessary? No, it is still very important and valid. As a non-profit, we might not be able to scrap the daily hunger but we were able to leave them with an unforgettable experience for just that day, we were able to make them not hungry for just that one moment. All it takes for a life to be ...

You keep getting up each day, putting your best foot forward even on days that are not your best, thinking of the next right move to take, doing all you can and all you know how to do, sometimes you might even get up on some days and end up not doing anything really tangible probably because you are carried away with your thoughts on how you can change your life overnight.  Most times we really wish we can do nothing and just have all we want.  To be honest I also desire an easy, smooth and sweet life. Not having to think too much, just eating and watching my favorite kdramas. This might be your feelings but please can you pay attention to this also. Pay attention to yourself because I keep seeing a lot happening and I feel this strong urge to share this. I know you are just trying to look for a way out of this whole mess. A way out of being able to just put food on the table. A way out to just helping out the family. A way out to be seen as somebody and probably to be like ev...

 People only look up to you when you have results. People listen to you when you have results. People give you their time/respect/attention when you have results. It's not enough to think you have value. It's not enough to think you are worth so much. It doesn't matter what you are up to if there is nothing to show for it. It is what you show that people would see. With this being notified, results are as important as your preparations. You must prepare with an aim if not it might become a waste of time. That's why it's not enough to get busy, we must see the fruits of your busyness. I would love to say that there is nothing more beautiful than knowing your authentic self. The truth is there are lots of rules and formulas but nothing beats knowing yourself and finding the best way to present yourself in a way that people would respond to. You honestly don't need to keep on searching for successful stories upon stories to the extent of ignoring yourself such that...

 Reasons why you should start a self-awareness journey. Days whereby you keep experiencing things you have no exact words of description for, such that you keep wallowing in your thoughts and seem kind of lost or out of energy probably than you used to be. Sometimes people assume you are fine where you are battling with a lot except for some concerned people who can point out the offs about you. What am I driving at?  I would love you to realize that these kinds of days are bound to exist and you cannot always keep up with every bar or standard either the one you set for yourself or is set for you because there would always be variables but the outcome of your experiences also depends on what you do with the variables. For you to handle the surprises of life to a great extent, calls for a great need to begin a self-awareness journey. I'll be explaining the reasons why starting a self-awareness journey is very important, kindly follow through: 1. Enjoy yourself better: Self-awa...

Tired of heels, try flats! It's no news that as Petites we love to put on heels a lot not necessarily because we are fascinated by them but our heights.  Many of us wear it just to add to our heights. We've worn it to the extent that we've concluded we love it over flats, though many also truly love wearing heels regardless. Anyway, here is the good news!  You can wear flats even as Petites. You don't always have to wear heels at your inconvenience with pains at your feet.  You can wear flats confidently but to do so it has to be a pointed-toe flat shoe.  A pointed-toe flat shoe would elongate your height (that is, making you look taller) unlike the around type.  So if you are getting a pair of flat shoes, go for the pointed toe and it would completely compliment your outfit. I hope you have fun trying this out. Is this something new to you or have you tried it before? Do let me know in the comment section.  I would love to hear about your experience. Much ...

 I want to advise secondary school students, especially S.S.3 students to not lose their momentum with their academics before or when going to the higher institution. It can affect your academic performance while in a higher institution.  The saying "little drops of water make an ocean" is not a lie at all. Now this might not be the case for everybody but it's advisable you don't take the path where your academics seem like nothing to you.  I tell you it's always a struggle to try to bring up the momentum back, I tell you the truth. Something that you do so effortlessly well at would now become something that looks so unachievable to you.  You keep struggling and if care is not taken you might not like your result in the end especially when everything just keeps happening so fast with assignments, tests, and exams, and you who is trying to get the right pace in between. Please do all you can to see your academics as interesting and something worth giving your inte...
