Every morning, I stood by the roadside, waiting patiently for a keke or bus to take me to work. Sometimes it rained. Sometimes the sun beat down hard. But every day, I stood, with hope in my eyes.
I worked as a sales assistant in a busy store in Umuahia town Abia State capital. My salary wasn’t much, but I managed it well—saving a little, sending money home, and praying for better days.
One evening, after a long shift, I passed a car showroom. I stopped. Through the glass, I saw a small, beautiful red car—simple, not flashy—but it called to my heart. I smiled and whispered to myself, “One day, I will drive you.”
From that moment, my hope became a quiet fire. I started putting away a small amount every month. Some months were hard. Emergencies came. But i never gave up.
I wrote the words “My Car Is Coming” on my mirror, so that I would see it every day.
Years passed. I didn’t win a lottery. I didn’t get a big promotion. But my consistency paid off.
One bright Saturday, with my head high and heart full, I walked into that same car showroom—not to look, but to buy. My dream red car was gone, but a newer, even better one was waiting.
As I sat behind the wheel for the first time, I smiled and whispered, “You came. Just as I believed you would.”
Dreams take time, but hope, faith, and steady effort can drive them home 🏡
Thanks for your time and for reading to the 🔚

This reminded me of my son's desire to acquire his Driver's license. It was only part of his Right of Passage but owning hid own car too, even if it was costly to afford one in my country. It is still a worthy tangible goal. !LADY
