THE DIARY OF A GREEN HORN.

The story you’re about to read is a figment of my imagination…

Dear Diary,

You might want to know how I celebrated my birthday today, hmmmm… it’s my best birthday ever! Guess what? I got the most wonderful gift one could ever ask for, even though the day started like nothing was going to happen. Well, my days have been like that since I finished secondary school, waiting and longing for the day my admission would come (*rolls eyes). Even the computer training I went for was just to while away time since I already knew most of the things I was being taught plus I need the certificate too.

Ok, back to my gist, the day was just like every other day. Mum and dad had gone to work, Fresh (that’s what my elder brother, Segun likes to call himself) had gone to play basketball, as he loves to do on weekends. In his words, ”It’s my way of keeping fit and saving myself from boredom since I don’t go to work on weekends… *I would have considered the option too, but I don’t intend becoming invisible abeg!

So, I picked up my Joyce Meyer novel to keep myself busy… #This girl is on fireeeee…# hmmmm… I was really loving the song by Alicia Keys in my dreams only to realize it was my phone ringing, the book I was reading some minutes ago had already found itself on the floor. I was on the phone for the next 24 minutes and guess who I was speaking with… it was uncle Femi, mumsy’s brother! Uncle Femi of all people, remembered my birthday. I had no idea he was even back in town. Anyways, he promised to give me a treat later in the day so I immediately started making plans with some of my friends who called to hang out with me………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………...................................

The hangout was sooo fun! Uncle Femi took me and six of my friends to La Campagne Tropicana beach resort. I felt so loved with all the gift items they showered me with, but that’s not even the fun part of it, when it was time for me to make a wish, I wished to be the best broadcaster ever seen or known and, wait for it….

During our drive home, Uncle Femi asked if I had done anything to actualize my dreams, I told him my plans and he promised to link me up with a friend of his who works in a radio station! Can you beat that? Finally, my dreams are seeing the light of day…. 

.....Next week.
