Hi beautiful people,
This is my first post here and I would love to use this opportunity to introduce myself. As we all know, out of sight is out of mind. So, I want to be in your mind.
Launching Myself Into Your Mind
♤ I was named Favour Okoye Odira by my parents. My name was carefully chosen at the time and it seems to flow with me at every moment of my life. Favour was given to my dad in a series of revelations by the sovereign creator, God while Odira, was a name that struck a cord in my mom while in the university. These names are special in equal capacity.
♤ Growing up, I loved reading. My mom has a part to play in this because she would give me lots of study materials and make me read them, while evaluating how much I learnt from them by giving me test questions. It was fun, and in no time, I couldn't do without reading.
♤ In high school, I had to choose the subjects I would do to prepare me for life in the university. I had no doubt in my mind that I would go in line with science subjects. But, there was a clause to the matter. My school #BintaInternationalSchool pushed me to commercial. Oh, I was so displeased. I told my family, I didn't want to read commercial subjects. It had to be science. Yes, I was quite stubborn when it comes to finding out what I wanted. My parents wrote a letter to the principal, at the time, requesting for my transfer to science class. Just like that, it was done, with the threat that we wouldn't hold the school responsible if I failed. 🙂 I didn't fail. I did more than thrive.
♤ High school was over faster than I thought possible and I was launched unceremoniously into the real world. The real world seemed quite harsh. I wrote jamb to gain admission to the university to study medicine but it wasn't working. Time was going and I wasn't being admitted to read my dream course. Oh, the taste of disappointment. As luck would have it, I did jupeb and it launched me to the university of Lagos but, still, things didn't go as planned. Does it ever?
Favour Okoye is a bag of surprises. She seems to always have it all figured out but yet strives to maintain a balance with a touch of humili
