Lost In the neighborhood

309 Words
The occupation that's predominant in my locality is excavation of Sandy soil. Mostly the rich here have sand pits,they contract people to go inside the Niger dredging out the Sandy soil that's deep inside of it and depositing them in their pits.The remaining labourers will then with the aid of spade put the sand inside the tippers of awaiting customers.Am always in aww whenever I see boys of my age dive into the river especially whenever the sun is overhead,I enjoy watching the effects of the rays on the sun on the Niger. I liked diving though I've never attempted it,it is one the sports am particularly interested in during Olympics. Not that my parents cannot afford me going to swimming pool but am a naturalist so for me no water body comes close to the river Niger but mum absurds such. I know I either take laws into my own hands or continue longing to have a feel of the Niger,well am not bold enough to do either.I researched about the river Niger,it's origin and everything I need to know about it but something is still lacking,I want to have my own personal assertion of it in which my mum is a constraint.My dad's job is based on shift, sometimes he's on the morning s**t another time he's on night shift,My mum is a teacher so her job is constant; morning till Afternoon around 3pm afterwards she's always around.We live a quiet livestyle and that affected most of us especially me that cannot express myself in public,not that I don't know what to say but am an introvert always uneasy whenever am around people my family included but I know they accepts me the way I am. I always try to please people in all I do,let their will prevail over mine (I don't even have my own).
