AMINA STORY OF DETERMINATION WILL INSPIRE YOU
Amina loved photography, all she ever wanted to do was take pictures, photography was oxygen to her. While people aspired to study professional courses, Amina's aspiration was to create magic through photography. After graduation from highschool, she was offered a scholarship to study Law in the best University in Nigeria, she rejected it. Her interest was photography.
Amina had a bag of dreams but an empty pocket. She had to toil all day, she took up freelance jobs and did everything doable just to raise the money for her examination fee to study photography at the talent Academy. She failed her first attempt, this was her last chance.
This time was a whole lot tougher, her ageing mother health had seriously worsened, she needed money for treatment, the only money Amina had was the money for her registration. Amina was on a cross road between saving her only family or pursuing the only dream she had envisioned her whole life, but a choice had to be made.
She paid for her mother's treatment but her mother still died. Amina was devastated, a careless gamble, she risked it all and lost it all. Amina tried to move on but she couldn't she had lost her motivation and dream. She was depressed, a total loser with a bag of regrets.
But, help found her. Maximan was a renowned artist who saw one of Anima's portrait and desperately needed to recreate it. Upon discovering Amina, she vehemently refused, photography was now in her past, but Maximan shared his story of determination, hardwork and failures. Amina learnt that it's okay to fail, we learn more from failures than victories. She learned to trust her instincts, she would try again.
Truly it was hard, the process was reliving pain, but Amina pressed on, her failures encouraged her because she knew without 99 failed attempts, there would be no win. She wrote the exams twice before gaining admission. She recreated the portrait with Maximan, it announced her to the world.
This was just the beginning - the girl who went from being under looked to overbooked.
