A trip down memory lane she woke up with a wistful desire of her granny who came to her two weeks ago in her room, with a blue lamp hanged on a blue rope. Her granny was holding this lamp with her both hands. She sat on the chair in front of her bed where her mom used to sit whenever she needed a talk from her. She gave her a letter to read. "I will give you this lamp, it will be a light that will guide you through your path." The granny told to her. She put the letter on the headboards of her bed. She was so sleepy and she saved the letter to read it in the morning. This had been a dream of her died grandma. Ouch!!! What a wistful desire!!! and how much she missed her. She didn't take the light that will guide her through her path nor read the letter. She asked herself. She talked to her mother all about the dream. "Mom I had dreams weeks ago about my granny going to give me the light that will guide me but she collapsed before I take it until I found that it was a dream." I've been having with this urge and the scariest feeling for not taking the lamp that will light my path." She said to her mom. It's just a dream, as they say that eight miles away from here there is a woodland that has a mascot tree since no one has gone there, all those are people's casts of mind. She told her. The girl encoded that with a doubt. In a nutshell, she was feeling slightly less nostalgic about what happened to her.

It was a Friday eve of her best friend's graduation. She had to make sure that all the things went well. she tried hanging out with her friends on the other side she was genuinely comfy and so mean at the same time. At the end, her mood was so flesh, she was hanging out with her friends and celebrating the party moment too. Her friends made her day and she started realising that something was trying to steal her happiness. There were celebrating in their time. There is this dance called "Mageregede dance," that they used to dance the girl and her friends. "Moving the legs and knees being bent together with the back going towards their front and turning around." Once stayed behind, you could level up in showing the next move. This was down to earth whenever they did this dance. In that time, she met a man and they started interacting.

"Joe my name." he said to her. "Carol." She replied. "It's good meeting you." Joel told Carol. They looked where to sit. "Any coffee?" asked the waiter. Oh yes! She responded. Carol was such a voracious girl that only one cup of coffee couldn't fill her, she couldn't let go of it, and she took it. "I'm a zoologist and it's been my professional career for so long." Joe speaking. "Aww pretty!!! I am a lover of animals." Carol gasped. She starts bearing false witness. "Interested in knowing more?" Joel asked. "Certain true." Carol replied. "Alright!! Sounds good, I can help you to know more if you don't mind, I mean teaching you all about the animals." Joel said. "Thank you!! When it comes to know more about the things that I find myself interested in, am driven off.' Carol replied. And She cook up a plan, of getting to know more about all the animals and decided to take the zoology course in order to go find the mascot tree in the woodland that her mother told her. Carol was unsure of everything about it or if that said was was or not . She had to believe the fact that she had to bear all the risks on her own.

Since that time, her head started giving her many inquiries. "Can she wait for her return?" or "can she find the path to her light by trying every chance she will be meeting in regardless of regretting not to try?" or "can she try finding herself in all the wrong places." All this questions started to fight in her mind. Carol became curious since she had a nightmare. She had an idea of going to an island, far away from where she lived. That island was taking care of orphanages. She wanted to work and volunteer in that orphanage for a greater cause. Carol believed that blessings and luck go hand in hand. She thought that the blessings and luck she will get from working in this orphanage will light her path. Her friends told her about how the horror life of orphanage life is. Babies have learnt not to cry because, they realised no one will comfort them. but she didn't mind she wanted to strive for her own differently she wanted to be a respite care provider to them.

In return home, She found her mom preparing the lunch. Their meat balls for that day was to be cooked and served in the banana leaves. As the lunch were ready, Carol's mother got everyone ready for lunch. It was for sure everyone best meal!!! After the lunch, she had to make sure that she finds all her work and schedule for the next day well planned and done. She had to meet the director of the orphanage children where she wanted to volunteer. She didn't want to see herself loafing around no more. 

 It's like the dream she had, freaked her mind. Carol woke up and headed to an island where that orphanage was located. She had to meet the director of this school of orphanage as per her request. "we need people that are consistent and can speak to this children in their first language." The director speaking. She was quick to respond and said, "I was nevertheless touched by the way their life is and I want to come here and comforts them." He thanked for her commitment. She started her work with love and gratitude. She started working in that orphanage for two years, she was trying giving the friendly attitude to everyone who meet her way. She used to get the acne skin irritation from nowhere but it couldn't last for more. This time stayed for so long and Carol had to leave for the treatment. As saying bye is always a hard time for some. This goes same to her and it wasn't easy too, to her friendly children. "We wish you a safe and good recovery." They said. Carol could see that, eyes don't lie. "It's been a blessing having you all here." she said with a bit of tear. A feeling of melancholy suddenly left her.

Most dreams are still born dissolving in the first encounter with the real world. She promised herself to give a trial on every opportunity to see that she will get a light that will guide her through her path as she saw in her dreams. It left her with many questions, blames, and fear but it pushed her to be another person.

Seems like it hard been so much with her. Carol started her treatment and seemed like she was starting getting better and better everyday in every way .whenever she tried to do something it will all go out of hand like that. She had no any other options. She was seeing that she had been living her life in a sort of lucky dip, since she had the dream and this could give her the scariest feeling that she has been cursed that hard by her granny through her dreams of not reading the letter that she had been given her in her dream and decided to read it in the morning while putting it to the headboard while she found that it was a dream. She was wondering how she will be going to mess up with this life. Lately, Mr Joel, who they met at her best friend's graduation party. Got Carol for the zoology course and carol did finish the course after years. She was really in touch, hard working with the course because she knows what she was striving for. But Joel never noticed what was all about. "Thank you for your commitment hope to see you, embracing your goals." Said Joel. "I'm heartfelt touched by your kindness and all the support, thank you!!." Carol said with a smile on her face. "Alright! all the best." Said Joel. This was the greatest opportunity for Carol to embrace what she have learned and go to explore it in the woodland to find what they all say about that mascot tree.
