Someday soon!

Nothing happens on its own. No door opens by itself. With paying the price, the prize might be won.

I have always dreamt of being great. I have always known greatness comes with a cost. A cost that sometimes might be somewhat challenging to bear.

I remember my Dad's story, how he couldn't raise one shilling to complete the procedures that would have earned him a study aid to pursue his academics and how life since then has being with all forms of twists and turns.

Left for my mum’s tenacity at petty trading and her ‘skills’ at borrowing from and paying back local money collectors that complemented my dad’s meagre earnings from the Railways, schooling would have being impossible.

I have long known i would have to do more than wishing to live my dream.

Yes, folks from poor homes do dream. I have a dream.

I have made some progress with my dream. I am not where i used to be. I am daily working and praying as the Bible proposes and i am confident that someday soon, the name Kayode Raphael Adegboye will be listed where it matters.
