A Guide to Help Fathers With the Power of Digital Marketing!
Do you know what you’re about to read right now? The blog of a girl whose father decided she must stand on her own and support herself. So, ladies and gentlemen, just like many of you, I decided to follow my passion.
Surpassing crooked roads, blocking off obstacles with timid hands, shrugging off the thorns that pricked me, and finally shoving paper balls into every mouth that chided me (just kidding, although I wish I could do that), I arrived at a building—CDA Academy. “This is it!” I murmured to myself.
All the while, a hand held mine firmly—my father’s. He dropped me off at the house where I would be staying for the next three months. Two hazel orbs greeted me with enthusiasm. “Hi, I’m Diya,” she said. From sharing iced bottles on hot summer days to sharing our wildest dreams, we bonded over time.
It was during one such conversation under the flickering light that Diya asked, “You know what’s my dream?” Her eyes were wide with joy. “Someday, I want to tell my father, ‘Go buy whatever you want. Don’t look at the price tag; just take whatever you want, and it’s all yours.’”
Diya’s dream is either to help her father’s business flourish or to take the burden off him and do something herself. Imagine the sheer amount of Joy and self satisfaction; the adrenaline rush that you experience after achieving something you once deemed so tough! Reflecting on my own choices, that’s one of the reasons I chose digital marketing—to build something of my own someday or at least help someone else build theirs.
