My magnificent success in auto mechanics has inspired me to move to the next level [4]
Growing up, I always have a mother by my side, she is the sole provider of my family and my source of strength and inspiration. It was not always like that, She was once an 'Oriaku' (an Igbo word for a wife that enjoys the husband's wealth). However, with the loss of my father's job, the financial tide turned for the family, pushing my father to the position the consumer while my mother became the provider
As a kid I remember when my mother woke up by 4 am daily to prepare I and my siblings for school she would bathe us all, prepare breakfast and put some food in our lunch box before she would then dress us for school, we would take off before she prepares for work...she works 24hours due to the nature of her work and whenever she is off duty she takes care of the home and those the house chores also, when pain and sickness made me cry she was always there for me. Though her job is stressful but, she has never given up rather she gets inspired to do more in order to make sure she keeps the family moving.
A woman being the breadwinner of a family is not an easy task though she has argued on several occasions that she should not be seen as the breadwinner but as a woman providing support for her family and that for the fact that a woman provides for her family she should never disregard her loving husband who has always been with her because of his predicament
This star lady and true icon of motherhood have been a figure which ha provided inspiration to me and she has also motivated me to carry on with the struggle to do better and to excel in whatever am doing
