From Smoking To CEO

I remember quite well some weeks back, I told y'all about a design I was learning. Smoking to be precise! Yeah! I smoked for a while LOL! And it was fun and interesting. And it became more complicated as new designs unfolded. I started using a sewing machine... Which was kinda frustrating as I didn't know how to control it at the time. Watching others sew was like watching the sky turn dark when its about to rain! It was like magic! At a point I said to myself "this is just a machine  Oiza! Its meant to be controlled! Don't chicken out!" And so I formed a motto "Control your machine, don't let ur machine control you! LET'S GO!" And with that I would spin the head of the machine and step on the pedals and pedal till I was done! My colleagues used to laugh at me each time I did that. But I was determined. I just had to learn it... And at a point, it became easier. Before I knew it, I made an apron, then I made a pot holder, a kitchen towel, a baby bed, a center rug, a toilet foot mat, and later I made a bedsheet, pillow case and most amazing of all, I made a duvet. Trust me you don't want to know how the duvet making process went! I almost passed out on the thick fabric. But in the end I was proud of myself. I'm now kind of a machine expert, I get assigned to anyone with a faulty machine, and within minutes, I know where the fault is, and I repair it... I am even a junior instructor to any fresher at work... Me. A month back I was struggling with needle and thread... Its actually amazing. I love what I'm doing. I have always, always wanted to be a fashion designer. True, dreams die but trust me if u r doing what u r destined to do, no matter the difficulties, ul get better. Right now, I'm thinking of a suitable name to call my fashion home because I believe I'll get there soon! I graduated as an interior designer last thursday. I thank God for Asuu strike... I have found my path. I know I have to finish school but I AM coming back, I just pray God keeps me alive.
I am willing to work harder than I've ever worked. I love my boss! That's the first step to success after God. U have to like ur teacher, before u can like what u r taught. My boss is a beautiful, nice, patient and dedicated young woman. I look at her and I see myself in the nearest future. God just led me to someone who is actually doing what I've been wanting to do all my life. I know people will wonder why I love fashion so much, well, its in the blood, a fashion designer gave birth to me. My mum was the first designer in Ojo barracks in 1992 with the name "Kogi Fashion". We were popular...! In the barracks though! Lol. And she's happy I'm walking on this path! And my boss's mum is also a fashion designer,so what are we saying??? God bless you Mrs Omoniyi for giving me this foundation. God bless my mum Alhaja Hadiza Iganyi for helping me get up and start afresh each time I fall. God bless my siblings for always being there when I needed them. God bless my dad. God bless my friends for all the encouragements. And god bless You for always reading! I write because of you, because ul always read and advise me... I hope u also gain a lot from what I write here. I pray ul be here to congratulate me and celebrate with me when I get to the top of my dreams! And by then... I trust ud be where u want to too... May God keep us alive till then. I love u! :*
