ALONE Dare to dream

In a small town where Wilson's family struggled to make ends meet, life was a constant struggle. Wilson, the youngest of four, faced hardships that would make you wonder if life was fair. His mother's early death cast a shadow over his childhood, leaving him without the warmth of a motherly love and care. His father, Adekola, sank into to the weight of grief and turned to destructive habits, trading the family's possessions for fleeting moments of pleasure in drinking and smoking

Shola and Elena, the two elder siblings, became the pillars of the family, working tirelessly to sustain their household. They took on the burden of financial responsibility, not only to feed themselves but also to send Wilson and Christabel to school. The weight on their shoulders was immense, but they faced each day with determination, hoping to rescue their family from the grips of despair and struggles.

Wilson, despite the hardships, went through life with a contagious smile, courage, and enthusiasm. He wasn't academically inclined, unlike his sister Christabel, but his father saw in him the reflection of his late wife, Mary. Wilson's innocence and handsome appearance were a constant reminder of the love he had lost.

While Wilson struggled in the classroom, he found purpose and joy on the football field. His physical prowess and skill in sports, especially soccer, were unmatched. In the midst of academic shortcomings, he blossomed as an athlete, winning accolades and earning the captaincy of his school's sports teams. His siblings, torn between pride and concern, watched as Wilson's passion for soccer overshadowed his academic responsibilities.

As Wilson's dedication to soccer grew, so did the disapproval from teachers and students. Mockery and pointed fingers became a daily ordeal, and even the principal contemplated expelling and withdrawing him from school. Unbeknownst to them, Wilson possessed a unique gift—a talent that went beyond the academic constraints imposed upon him.

The turning point came when teachers, thinking they were doing him a favor, banned Wilson from playing soccer, hoping it would force him to redirect his focus to academics. Little did they know that this move only fueled his desire for the game. Wilson's siblings, worried about his future, tried to persuade him from pursuing a career in football.

However, Wilson's love for soccer was unwavering. He defied societal expectations and pursued his passion with unmatched determination and courage.as wilson grew more and more this skills was sharpened, wilson was often banned from school but with his strong will and desire he went to the shool field and play football with his friends and collegues aften christabel do look for him after closing hours with her shout wilson.......... where are ? with an answer she kept looking for him not until she finds him playing soccer with his friends with wilson sweating , smiling, and panting so hard looking straight at christabel eyes and said with a smile on his facechristabel you should know where my heart his said wilson you will always find me there , christabel with a groaining sound replied let go its time to go home its pass closing hours wilson toke his bag and went with christabel hone.
