 Mercy Johnson was born in Lagos, Nigeria on 28 August 1984 to a naval officer, Daniel Johnson and his wife, Elizabeth Johnson. Mercy was the fourth child to this couple, after which they had three older children. She had six siblings, three older brothers and three younger sisters. Mercy began her primary education in Calabar but later moved to Lagos to attend the Nigerian Navy Primary School. After her father got transferred to Lagos, Mercy got to go with him to continue her education there. As a child, Mercy wasn't opportunity to live a luxurious life. Her father's earning as a military personnel weren't sufficient enough to cater to her and her older siblings. As a result of her father's financial incapability, Mercy's school wasn't steady. Contest time she had to drop out of secondary school since her parents couldn't afford the fees. However, Mercy was a very tough and brave girl. She thought of engaging herself in odd jobs in a beach to attend some responsibilities in the family. Without an art of discouragement, Mercy started hawking drinkable water on the streets. She also sold food items to generate more income. She usually used the money she realized from her hawking to support herself and the family. Sometime later, Mercy stopped hawking and began working as a housemaid. It was a very rigorous job to do, but the young lady was actually choice-less. Shortly after she concluded her secondary school, Mercy decided to further her education. She took the university entrance examination but failed. She wasn't granted admission. While she was at home waiting to participate in the next year's entrance exam, she got an opportunity to attend a movie audition. She had not been acting previously, but her smartness and intelligence helped. She was selected among those that will be featured in the movie, The Maid. Mercy's outstanding role in the movie gave her an entrance into the Nigerian movie industry and enabled her to begin an acting career in Norleywood. Subsequently, Mercy was featured in other movies that went viral, announcing her into a wide audience. With time, Mercy earned various awards with Teen and Beyond the Worlds of her country, Nigeria. In 2011, she got married to Prince Odianosen Okujie, a wealthy young man famously known as Udi. They had a grand marriage ceremony in Lagos, Nigeria and top African celebrities were in attendance. Even to this day, Mercy Johnson has built a revered brand for herself and she remains a well-regarded Norleywood figure in Africa. Sometimes bravery may just be the exact thing you'd need to break through although the scenario around you could seem hopeless, difficult or scary. But don't be puzzled or intimidated, put on the armor of bravery, fight and conquer your battles. There was pain said, the real man smiles on trouble, gathers trends from distress and grows brave and grows brave by reflection. Can you smile and travel? Can you look fear in the face and smile because you're sure you'll win? Melissa Tumino said, Bravery is the ability to look fear and heart in the face and say, move aside, you are in the way. Morgan Harper Nichols said, Bravery is the audacity to be unhindered by failure and to work in freedom, strength and hope in the face of the things unknown. Brave people aren't stoppable. They may be combated by a series of roadblocks but the bravery in them strengthens them to break through eventually. She Johnson had a million reasons to give up. The different circumstances threatened her future but she was a brave lady who fought her way to success regardless of difficulties. The brave ones die but once. The fearful die but a thousand times. Overcome your fears today and embrace bravery. Go after what you want as though failure is impossible. Run after your goal as though you can never fail.
