Good day to you all, how are you doing today. I have six siblings, 4 boys and 2 girls. I'm the 5th born of my family and my sister is the last born.
We love each other, and our parents held us together until my brothers got admission far from home. our home is very peaceful because my father was like military personnel to us.
Since I was the youngest among my brothers, I was treated as the last born.
My Brothers and I love to eat in the same plate;
That was how we were bonded together by my family. They gave us big meals and meat on a plate. In fact, the meals were so big to the extent we used less than 15 minutes to finish it.
When I was getting older, I was discouraged because my brothers were faster eaters while I was slow eater.
Moreover, the meat and fish were not shared equally; my brothers took larger portions of the meat than I.
One day, the meat was not enough in the pot. So, my mother gave us 3 meats to share. I was not given meat because it was 3 meats, and none of my brothers were able to share his meat with me.
After the meal, I cried to my mother, “ha! this is serious ooo. you could not give your brother small out of it. so if I give you meat now, the eldest won't give others. This is very bad ooo! You are blood brothers, you should love each other. just only meat, you forget your brother. you were given birth by the same father and mother, you don't have the reason not to give your brother no matter how small it is.”
That night, my father gave me a big meat to eat. That was how I was relieved.
After my father died, two of my brothers were no longer with us. My immediate elder brother and I were left at home.

God Gives Strength To The Weak
My immediate elder brother used to beat me, he was much stronger than me. I wasn't strong at all because I don't engage in strenuous work.
On that fateful day, he was about to beat me as usual. I grabbed him, lifted him and knocked him on the floor. He stood up immediately to fight me; I lifted him up, and knocked him on the floor the second time.
he was in rage, he wanted to fight me with full force, by the time he threw a punch to me, I dodged it, grabbed his hand, twisted it. he shouted “my hand” and I released him.
He was disappointed because he couldn't imagine I could have the strength to challenge him.
People held him, and told him “that is enough, your little brother you are fighting did not even challenge you”.
He was Reluctant, and came at the third time with a force. He was about to hold my neck; I dodged him like a skillful boxer, held him, Punched him twice in the face, lifted him up, and knocked him to the floor the third time.
He fainted, and he was taken to hospital. When he woke, he realized that he was in the hospital. He was treated and released after 48 hours because the doctor said, “there is blood in her nose which needs to be treated.”
I couldn't imagine in my life beating up my brother
Since that day, He stopped picking fights with me.
Sometimes, a single win against someone can stop one from oppressing you in life.
It was like a fight between David and Goliath. A single winning put and end to lifetime oppression. I was free from oppression because I couldn't breathe those times.
Right now, we are closer to each other than anyone in my family. We used to talk about it.
“The day you beat me up, that was the day I stopped picking up fights against you. if not that fight, I wouldn't have stopped fighting you. After the fight, I began to be afraid of being beaten up by you again.” - my brother Austin
I stand up for success, and success is not achieved by merely making mouth, No room for laziness, no room for idleness. Success comes to the people who are desperately and consciously searching for it. When it seems unsuccessful or you smell failure around you, never discourage yourself from being successful.
“Discouragement and failure are the two surest stepping stones to success.” - Dale.
