But then all of a sudden, life happens- a controversy, a feeling, a challenge where everything shifts. In that moment something changes around us*. *We may not fathom it out right away but later we notice it clearly; that moment mars or makes us, teaches us, reminds us of what really matters; that turning points, some stay in our memory while some pass away as time fleets making it one moment worthwhile in our lives*. >What's the most recent "moment" that made you feel truly alive? *Recently, I received a mail that got my excited moment. Over a year ago I enrolled in a professional training programme, it was a Federal Government partnership programme initiative to train young people into tech business. I happened to apply but then they invited others while mine was pending*. ![Screenshot_20250412-163922.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYy41sBS5ZQ1koWA8wNaw6Ds6pWNi2mnhBxEiBa1K3Dtu/Screenshot_20250412-163922.jpg) Screenshot from my mail box *I kept checking on my mail but saw no invitation, I lost hope until last two weeks when my invitation finally came. I was happy and felt alive. I really needed that training because of what kind of courses streamlined in alignment with my future career. Getting that mail gave me alive moment- feeling that raised a hope all that pertain to me will come when the time is right*. >What's a moment you wish you could relive? *I have always wish If I could turn back the hands of time, I would return to my old school days to learn mathematics from the cradle and have a mastery of it so to pass across to the next generation. I hate when I do not have indepth knowledge of a field so that I can pass it down to the next person. This may sound funny to some people but I know what I'm talking about that I find it difficult to teach my younger ones seeking my help certain topics in mathematics*. >If you could freeze time for just one moment, what would it be? *A moment when I'm more than what I thought I could be. When all my dreams and aspirations become a reality. A moment I feel I give the best of me and I have all the answers to to my prayers. That one moment when I feel satisfied that life has given me the best of me*. ![ao-dai-6203939_1280.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYL5Q3XVj5gJsR4mMh3XFKwZVizu3y33wjeAbSwKjdRFR/ao-dai-6203939_1280.jpg)[Source](https://pixabay.com/photos/ao-dai-fashion-woman-vietnamese-6203939/) >What's a moment that made you realize how much someone loves you? *This was in January 2009 when I had an event of near death experience. In the darkest moment of last breath, the angels of the Lord in navy blue and white showed up for me, gave me relief from the drug effects by causing me to vomit, bringing me to life again. I felt that heavenly love. That God really loves me and wants me to live. And when I opened my eyes, I saw my love ones surrounded me with prayers, tears and love.* In life you would have that one moment where no matter how things go , you learn to move on and find a turning points. Some experiences fade away while some last longer and we would wish that one defining moment should reoccur in our lives. *I invite @okere-blessing, @eveetim to join me in the contest.* *Cc: @sahmie*
