ACHIEVEMENT 1:INTRODUCTORY POST BY @nanbzu
Hello friends!!☺☺
I am called Nana Chantal but friends know me as Bzu.☺🥰 My steemit account name is @nanbzu. Life they say is like a bridge where we need to climb a thousand staircases before you get to the main building/floor, that's exactly how descriptive I can say my life is. I will describe my life like the staircases.
I live in Buea, in the Southwest region of Cameroon. One of the most beautiful and amazing places in Cameroon. My parents live in Tiko, a sub town of Buea. I'm someone who has always love to be self-independent and comfortable with good things in life. But the irony is, growing up as a child right up to where I am and who I am today isn't what I wanted. From prenursery, nursery, primary, secondary and even college, life has been a big building where I've to climb the staircases/obstacles none stop until I get to where I am actually going to.
My mom is one of the best person in my life who inspires me a lot to grow strong and be an independent woman. She's a proud single mother who works effortlessly to ensure to that I never grow hungry nor lack clothes and shoes to wear. She always tells me to prioritize my most important needs and to put God first like every parent will do to his/her child. I'm unapologetic to say that I don't feel the needs of my father. From stories I've heard from my grandparents and mom, he is an irresponsible father.
My studies/school
Academically, I've never had a prestigious/financial life I can really boost about. From prenursery to primary, I went to a state/government in Tiko and was later transferred to Mamfe/Manyu division for studies because of some issues. There, I faced a lot of difficulties as a child. My grandmother had to traveled to Mamfe to come fetch me because of the stories she heard I was going through. I was later sent to another state/government school, that was in class three. I proceeded with my education there until I got my Common Entrance and First School Living Certificate. I moved to Secondary school where I had to live with my grand aunt/ my mom's aunt. She was a very strict and straightforward woman, I used to think she was wicked not until when I entered College and realized she was actually being of great help to me. My secondary school life wasn't easy as well, I went to a state school from Form one to Upper sixth and never changed school.
My Secondary to Highschool life
From form one to Form three, I was someone who didn't know her left nor right. What I mean is, I didn't know what to study which will help my future positively but when I got orientation from one of my best teachers, I then knew myself. From form four, I decided take on the Art field. I worked through it until I got to form five. During my first year of writing the O'level, I failed because of peers but in my next year, I decided not to take on the failing staircase again.
My College Life
I made it through out that year and even my high school life. Then I decided to study INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION in College which is a program I'm not regretting.
My hobbies/skills
Apart from studying INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION in school, I also find interest in other things or activities like;
- Baking because it's actually a fun thing to do for me. Also, it's a skill I've developed so far and I'll really like monetize this skill by doing cake delivery services to friends and others.

I also love cooking and I'll like to have a restaurant someday where I will serve good food to people all around the world.
Aside from hobbies like that, I find drawing/arts to be another fun thing to do and also a skill I engage in from time to time because it keeps me entertained and it's a way to express my emotions.
Singing is another fun thing for me and I'm sure most of you also loves singing especially when you feel down, happy, sad, heartbroken.
Ohh!! Not to forget this special hobby of mine, adventures🤩🤩. I love adventures to magic, I love to hike especially with friends, when I do so, I forget about the problems in my life and feel like I can accomplish everything. When I go for hiking, I feel the sense of nature and how wonderful the mother of nature is, I feel the sweet sounds of the different kinds of birds and other animals. Not excluding other adventures like sea views, though I can't swim, water and me are like best of friends. I love the beautiful nature of it. I always used to wonder and think of the waves of the sea water, how good and bad it is. Nonetheless, nature is good.
