The Dream Of A Slum Boy



Meet My Hero Of The Week (Sunny  Omale)  



 



Earlier today I met this two Young Minds 



 



As I watch them play 



I was intrigued with the energy and Alot of positivity they put into the game. 



For the few moments I watched them play, it was like nothing else mattered to them, their interest became their obsession, Hunger left, the fear of been spanked by their parents left, every kick they made on that little ball was a kick of fulfillment and those little kick brought the best out of them, brought out the true leadership in them because I watched how they both carefully guided their end not to loose.



 



Every step was carefully taken 



I saw undiluted Joy 



The sense of been in control of their happiness was ultimately determined by the fact that they loved the game and as I watched, I couldn't but smile and went close to introduce myself to them and had a little chat with them. 



 



So during the course of our chat, I asked what would they love to become when they grow up. Your guess is as good as mine... 



 



The name of the youngest of this boy's is Sunny.



Sunny is just a little above 6 year's of age and he's currently in primary 2, he responded and said, \" I want to become like Messi\" so I asked why? He said \"I wants to be Happy and be famous too because whenever I play football, it makes me happy\".



 



Sunny is not afraid to dream



Though small and possibly from a humble background but he has refused to be limited by his environment and he's daring to take on the world by dreaming Big.
