The bitter Truth about me

While i was reading @nhaji01 on reality check i just laughed because she was just the opposite of me, she said she picked fight with anyone who stepped on her clean shoes, she doesn't go to school on th days they had no electricity to iron her clothes, she was just a perfectionist.
Haaaaaaa, hear my story you will know that i was just opposite of her.

When i was growing up i never left home clean and come back 20% clean, its either the clothes are thorn or i have lost one of my shoes.

I will wake up in the morning and i will enter the bathroom and stay for like 10mins then i will come out, i wont pour a single water on my body, i will get dressed and off i go.

My mom was a business woman so she leaves home very early, unfortunately the poor woman will wake up very early and boil bathing water for me, arrange my uniform and clean my shoes but I will end up coming back home like a pig as she always calls me then.

My mom will say "Ohhhhh God how did you give me this pig as a daughter 😭😭😭😭"

Unfortunately I don't even care 😞.

Ask me how i end up coming home very dirty. How?
Immediately i leave home for school i will go to my friend's house and she is even worse than me, we will firstly climb up to any available fruit to get some fruit we will take to school not minding that we are putting on our uniforms.

Infact the worst fruit was cashew because the water stains our uniform and those stains are not easy to wash.

After plucking those fruit we will go to school by 9 or 10am when class has already started, then we will jump into the class through the window.

During break season, we will search for the nearest farm so that we can get some corn or yam to roast, all this happens while we are on uniform so tell me how the uniform will not turn black before we get home.

This lifestyle continued till i finished my secondary school, it was so bad that whenever our principal wants to give example of dirt she will call me out as a typical example of dirtiness but still i will be laughing like what i don't know.

Time for change is here

After my secondary school, i told my parents that i want to be a nurse, my mom was like see pig want to be a nurse, do you think dirty people are allowed in the health sector.

My father told her to allow me, that this profession will definitely change me because when i see people around that i will change.

That was how i joined nursing school.
My first day in the boarding wasn't funny 🤣😂🤣, i rushed my bathing the way i usually do and some nursing students started mocking me saying "No wonder she smells like palm kernel always, she doesn't have her bath thoroughly"

Ahhhhhhhh i was more than ashamed of myself, that was the day i changed, i started getting new clothes and I always washed, ironed and kept them clean.

My mom came visiting and she was surprised 🙀 and my father reminded her that he told her that nursing school will change me from a pig to polar Bears.

Today i wash till no more dirt is left, i can't even step my feet out without having my bath, i iron everything i wear even my undies, i don't like staying with anyone because i think no one can keep my space neat the way i do, life is all about stages and one stage never defines who you are as a person.

Our environment, our friendship has a way of influencing us either for good or bad
