RESILIENCE ON OKPOSHA STREET: THE JOURNEY OF FAVOUR FROM OGUTA TO MASTERY IN COMPUTING

RESILIENCE ON OKPOSHA STREET:

THE JOURNEY OF FAVOUR FROM OGUTA TO MASTERY IN COMPUTING

The quiet street of Okposha, nested in the heart of Oguta, often referred to as Ameshi, has been a cradle of unspoken stories and dreams. In one of its warmly lit corners, lived a girl named Favour, whose life on this popular street unfolded into an inspiring narrative of resilience, learning, and aspirations. Favour decided to pen down her early life experiences, a journey beginning amidst family and evolving beyond the boundaries of Okposha, leading her to the realms of advanced computing.

Okposha Street's Setting

Okposha Street, known for its vibrancy and communal spirit, was where Favour's early childhood blossomed. The street, bustling with daily activities, was a place where neighbors were akin to family, and stories floated in the air like the evening breeze from the nearby river. Living with her grandparents, Favour's life was intricately woven with the rhythms of Okposha, from the farm visits with her siblings to the comforting presence of her neighbors, Onyemuwa and his wife, who became her unwitting adoptive parents through their kindness and love.

Favour's Family and Upbringing

·        Favour's upbringing was grounded in the simplicity and warmth of her family's routine, deeply connected to the farmlands and the seasonal rhythms of Oguta.

·        Her relationship with her cousins, Onyinyechi and Chijioke, along with the deep-seated affection she received from Onyemuwa and his wife, provided a foundational sense of belonging and care.

·        The absence of her immediate family during their farm visits left a space that was filled by her neighbors, knitting a fabric of community and familial bonds.

Incident with Onyemuwa

A turning point in Favour's childhood emerged with a startling incident involving Onyemuwa. Her discovery upon entering Onyemuwa's room one day, driven by the innocent expectation of a gift, pushed her into a realm of unspeakable shock. This experience marked a significant moment in Favour's life, instilling a whirlwind of confusion and leading to her cautious avoidance of Onyemuwa's room thereafter. The incident, shrouded in silence, became a shadow in her radiant memories of Okposha Street.

Relocation to Erime-agwu-agwu

The canvas of Favour's life was repainted with her family's relocation to Erime-agwu-agwu, another serene locale within Oguta. This move, while bringing a change of scenery, also symbolized a new chapter in Favour's journey, bringing new challenges and opportunities for growth. The relocation was not merely a shift in physical surroundings but also a transformative phase, setting the stage for Favour's burgeoning interest in education and technology.

Favour's Educational Pursuit

Favour's intellect and curiosity found a new direction through her initiation into the world of computers at Stanet Computer Institute. Her dedication and passion for learning were evident as she swiftly moved from basic computer operations to more advanced programs. The certificate in Computer Operation was just the beginning of a journey that would take her to mastering graphic design, image editing, and even video production. Favour's educational pursuit was not just about acquiring skills but about transforming her passion into tangible abilities that could carve a future she dreamed of.

Reunion and Advanced Learning

The streets of Oguta, imbued with memories and milestones, once again became a backdrop for an unexpected reunion. Walking down Okwuosha avenue one cool morning, I was greeted in a familiar tone, turning to find Favour, now grown and radiating confidence. Our interaction, brief yet profound, was a testament to the cycles of time and the growth we embody. Favour's visit to my relocated computer institute in Egwe marked the beginning of her advanced learning phase, diving deeper into graphic design software like Adobe Photoshop, and expanding her skills in photograph snapping, video coverage, and editing. This phase of Favour's learning encapsulated not just the acquisition of technical skills but the crafting of a vision for her future.

Favour's Aspirations in Computer Field

Through the streets of Okposha to the corridors of advanced computing, Favour's journey is a narrative of resilience, growth, and unyielding aspiration. Her strides in the computing field are not merely for personal achievement but carry the essence of her early experiences, the lessons learned from her community, and the dreams nurtured among the serene landscapes of Oguta. Favour's aspirations in the computer field are a beacon of hope for many, illustrating that the path from a small street in Oguta to the vast world of technology is paved with determination, passion, and the support of a community that believes in one's dreams.
