*This age gave me unforgettable sweet memories, it changed everything about who I am and my mindset.*

*It was the Age that marks the first time of some things in my life.*

*I made my first best friend at the age of 16*

*I fell in love for the first time at the age of 16*

*I had my first heartbreak at the age of 16*

*I started dreaming big at the age of 16*

*I got my first job at the age of 16*

*I became a loner at the age of 16*

*You can see that it was at the age of 16 a lot of things changed in my life.*

Prior to this time, who was I? 

*I was a carefree teenager who had nothing to worry about.*

*I was okay with the little my parent offered me, I was happy and missed nothing because as humans we can not miss the life we never had. it is when we taste something better that we realize how our past life has been nothing but a pain.*

*Everything changed when a family came to live in front of my house, it was a family of 7, 2 boys and 3 girls.*

*I spent my days with them and from them, I learned the true value of friendship*

*The second son became my best friend, and I fell in love with the first daughter of the family but it was a love story that died before it started.*



*There can be no heartbreak without love so this explains the reason why I was heartbroken, I could not bear the pain anymore I decided to change environment and I ended up visiting my cousin and in her place, I saw things I have never seen and enjoyed a good life to the extent I wish the vacation never ends but no matter what, there is no place like home, I left her place after two weeks but that visitation gave me the biggest gift of my life which is the power to dream big*


*I miss my family which is why I left my cousin's place but I regretted leaving early because the joy of bonding with family only lasted for a few hours, I could not sleep in the night because of the mosquitoes humming and the heat because of no light, I remember how I had my own room in my cousin place, slept on a giant bed and how there was 24/7 light.*

*I could not sleep the whole night, I was just thinking about everything and what I needed to do to be like my cousin, and in the end, I knew if I was going to make it in life, I had to change the environment and move away from my parent and that was exactly what I did, At the age of 16, I left home for a greener pasture and here I am still dreaming big.*

*So the age of 16 is a year I can never forget in my life because I experienced a lot of both good and bad things at that age.*
