Introduction
My educational journey has been quite interesting, with many ups and downs. These experiences made me grow further. I am a preschool teacher, I teach 3-5 years old kids, I am also a mother of 3 little kids. However, I shall give a personal narrative of my experiences as a child at that age, rather than my professional experiences at the moment. I have always been fascinated by knowledge, learning new things, and how things are made or how they are.

I used to enjoy everything about learning and found great joy in asking questions, both at school and back home. Every day, as I walked to school, I used to have a set of questions to ask my teacher either during or after class. Back home, my dad used to be my main source of information, as I used to ask him so many questions every day. Most of these questions came from my immediate environment; nature used to take me through a crash course of new things each day.
My first milestone came through a book. I used to have a certain storybook that talked quite a lot about outer space, countries around the world, geography, and inventions.

I used to ask questions from a perspective of wanting to know and acing what I already knew. I usually feel very indebted to my 'handlers' at this tender age since they really shaped my thought process and everything therein. They planted the seed that has kept growing all my life. It was such an exciting background that laid the foundations for me to become a great believer and supporter of academia.
The second milestone I made came from the story time sessions in school and also back home. The narration used to sound aesthetic and poetic, with much imagery. I could even picture those things, characters, and events. The narrator also ensured that we, as kids, were engaged during these sessions. It made me keenly interested in languages, literature, and poetry. It is artistic how language can be tuned to influence or reflect certain aspects of emotions. Literature is more like a living, written word in academia (Clandinin, 2019). Such early experiences gave me the zeal even to read more and more deeply in matters concerning literature. These story times used to be vital since...
