skills act as keys that unlock doors to big opportunities

?I didn't come from a wealthy family,

I came from a lower middle class family; is there even anything like that? Lol

Well you get my point, yeah!

I told myself that a wealthy family must come out of me; actively working to make that a reality.?

As the first girl and the third child among six siblings, I understood early enough that I had responsibilities and had to rise up to it fast; if you are the Ada (igbo name for first girl) of the house you'll understand better

remember the saying that;

What pursues you determines how fast you run right; I knew where I was coming from and knew what I was up against.

If a Lion is pursuing you,?

you can't be running at

the?same pace as

someone?being

one of my bail out strategy was acquiring skills; it has been very instrumental in my journey and has rescued me from unfavorable situations.

This is why I constantly emphasize the importance of having valuable skills.

I shouldn't have come close to some people and places but for the skills I've acquired over time;

early this year, I had the opportunity to be featured on NTA to speak about ; "The importance of having a High income skills in addition to your certificate"

When I started my journey of acquiring different skills, my parents initially were not even in support ; and I didn't blame them for their lack of understanding; they simply couldn't understand the significance of skills at the time. Their constant advice was to focus on my studies and prioritize education above all else.

However, as they started witnessing the positive outcomes resulting from the skills I had developed, their perspective began to change. They became the ones providing me with tools and resources to make my work easier.

Sometimes, even your loved ones may not support your endeavors at the beginning. This doesn't make them bad people; they simply need time to understand your vision. If you stay true to your path and demonstrate consistent dedication, they will eventually come around.

Today, my skills have become a blessing not only to me but also to those around me.

Having valuable skills makes you an invaluable asset in any situation.
