When Dreams Refuse to Sleep
There are moments in life when the world seems asleep — when discouragement, poverty, or failure whisper that dreams are too heavy to carry. Yet, somewhere in the quiet corners of ordinary lives, there are people who refuse to let their dreams rest. They rise above laughter, rejection, and hardship — and keep going, one small act of courage at a time.
This story is about such people — about a young boy named Tunde, whose world was defined by scarcity, but whose mind overflowed with hope. It is a story of grit over comfort, discipline over distraction, and faith over fear. Through his struggles, readers will find pieces of their own lives: the nights when giving up seemed easier, the mornings when effort felt invisible, and the moments when persistence paid off in ways words cannot describe.
When Dreams Refuse to Sleep is not just a story about academic success. It is a reminder that education is more than books and exams — it is the shaping of character, the building of integrity, and the quiet courage to keep learning even when no one is watching.
For every student who has ever been mocked for trying, for every teacher who has believed in a struggling learner, and for every parent who sacrifices silently to keep a child in school — this book is dedicated to you.
May it remind us all that true success is not measured by what we achieve, but by what we overcome.
And may it inspire every reader — young or old — to keep their dreams awake, no matter how long the night. Read the story
