Growing up was fun, but growing up to the reality of what will the future hold is a big question popping out of my mind. Growing up not settling for what other kids want, going for dreams not visibly acceptable in the environment isn’t a hard choice but a choice out of interest and passion, passion that drives us to be the best even when the environment is totally not supporting, your best supporter is you, your personal interest matters, it gives you happiness, joy and self fulfilment, especially with a strong undistracted mindset to win, achieve and fulfill.
   Lateef is a young skater who has a passion for skateboarding and rollerblader, I saw him skating on a long, busy road under the hot Abeokuta sun, I couldn’t just stare and leave, but had to walk up to him, seeing someone skate on a board in Abeokuta after spending most of my life here is surprising, an environment where the sport is not supported. He couldn’t afford a professional skateboard so he made one for himself improvising the materials a skateboard is made from, his environment and lack of access to a skateboard didn’t limit him, but encouraged him, undoubtedly his passionate, with a strong mindset to fulfil his dreams.
