Working towards a brighter tomorrow
Imagine yourself 3 years from now.
What did you see? Were you happy with what you saw?
It is true that none of us can see the future. But the things we do today can shape what happens tomorrow.
To get to the future you want, you have to be on the right path.
This means you making the right choices about your education, career and life in general.
How do we get on the right path? And how do we stay there?
Get an education
It can be going to school or learning a trade. The more knowledge and skills you have, the better your chances in life.
Don’t get distracted
Friends are important. So are boys. But the most important thing is your future. Don’t let anyone make you lose focus on your goals.
Find your passion
What are you good at? What do you really love to do? Once you know, work to develop that talent or skill. You never know how far it will take you.
Make a plan
What are your goals? What do you need to get there? Is there any special training you will need. How much money will you need? Write it all down and then plan how you will take each step.
Build a support squad
Surround yourself with friends who believe in you and will encourage you. Find people you admire and trust to advise you.
Do you think you are on the right path? Talk to a parent or trusted adult about your goals. They can help you start making the right decisions

Hey Tops! Just keep talking to your friend and hope she listens to you. Try and convince her and also distract her with interesting and fun activities. Remember that you can only advice and hope that she listens. We hope this helps

Hey Nancy! We believe everyone was born with a talent. Whether is it talking, singing, cooking, writing, reading or even taking care of little children. Now to identify your talent, all you need to do is to think of the things you love to do and the things you do without stress. Once you identify these things, think of how much passion you have for them. If everything is positive, you have discovered your talent. So Nancy, we want to encourage you to develop it. No matter what it is, use it for good things and see how far it will take you. We hope this helps.

Hey Nancy! You can be a nanny or even open a nursery in the future. This is a very good one. Now you see that you have a very great talent because not everyone is good with children. You can start by being a nanny to the children in your community and then move to opening a creche, daycare or even nursery. Good one girl!
But what abt my education, i want a profession frm my education. How will my parents be impressed with being a nanny after so much money dey spend on me.

Hey Nancy! You asked how to make money from your hobby and also discover your talent which is the advise we gave you. If you don't want to use your talent to make money and you want to use your education then we suggest you study hard to make good grades so that you can get a good job to make your parents proud. We hope this helps.
