Yay! It’s the second quarter and it’s April Fool’s Day…. Hehe… I remember when i was younger, my aunt would prank the hell out of me all through the day and i would fall so badly for the pranks. There was a particular April fool’s day she bought an inanimate object exact replica of a rat. She knew how much i hated rats, so she threw the object on the floor where she knew i would definitely walk pass. I stepped on the object and almost tripped out of fear. When i realized it was a rat,  i screamed and shouted. She came, picked it up and moved closer to me. Goodness! I was in a very funny state. When she eventually dropped it on my body, she wiggled it’s tail and started laughing then i realized it didn’t move unless she moved it. I stopped shouting with the tears that had gathered in my eyes, i stared at her while she kept laughing, then i tried touching it and i realized it was an inanimate object. I just kept saying it’s not funny while giggling myself.

I was never good at pranking, but i was good at being the receiver. They always knew when it wasn’t real. So i decided to adopt the acting role. I would act what i meant, like being another person. So i told my school mates and friends just when we were about to practice a choreography that would stun the school, i said i think i may be changing my school soon, they looked at me stopped and continued. While they were dancing, i told them no reason to dance since i could change school anytime. They began to act funny and sad.. They told other people other people told other people. It soon became widespread. I started getting messages; some people telling me their feelings, some sending goodbye messages.  It was really cool, i felt like a star and started to see my friends moody at times and then asking questions like so which school, would you come once in a while to say hi. One day i didn’t go to school and they told my teacher she has changed school. When i got to school and i was being questioned i had to reveal it was a prank. I informed my friends and they hit me ehn, Lol…

The good old times…

Anyways it’s yet another quarter to start something innovative, to believe in yourself, to drive towards success to drive towards attaining set goals. I have come to realize something,  a step today accounts for the steps of tomorrow. What you start today as a venture becomes an activity for tomorrow. So if you don’t try something today how can you have something for tomorrow. Take a good step into the future….

Happy new month, God’s blessings….
