Steemit Ultimate Challenge 8 Weeks. Week#3

My ultimate challenge entry #1
My life experience
I grew up in the Western Region of Ghana (Takoradi).
My parent were used to providing me with Games and other computers just for fun.
As a child, some one gave me an advice to try and do something that can serve as an income when I get to my adolescent stage.

I actually tried to do an illegal means by chatting girls for money and hacking others account that got my parents pissed off and they told me not to use the PC again and it got seized.
But I felt , I must go by the thought of my senior friend. Trying to get closer to my thoughts as an illegal worker , I found some icons and kept them, thinking they could really earn me something.

When I got to 15 years, I got involved in a group who loved to bet on football matches for money. I did not realize how the journey of being a bet boy would be. We first placed a bet and it was successful for us , so I chose to stay in this game , at least my first bet was good and I thought the rest would be the same.

But a time came that I had over 15 bet slips and had none of them to be a good one enough to be awarded. So I became broke( I had no money on me) so I was begging and stealing some coins from my parents just to bet.
So one night, I snuck into my mums room for my laptop and made a research on how to make money for free, and I found BTC . I actually never believed in the cryptosystem so I made my mind to move on with the little stealing which was not what I wanted to do but there was no other choice if I hadn't. So that night that I snuck for my laptop, I was up all night searching for a solution to my problem.
I finally had an after school job that paid $5 per hour (Gh¢15) . I had a little money to continue placing unsuccessful bets just because I was addicted to placing bet each day.

As a young and healthy adolescent, I got to know my income wasn't that much to buy me new kicks nor place more bets as I used to. So I left the job after working there for 5 months.

The only happy thing I experienced was, my mum never asked me about the laptop not because she didn't find out that I came for it , but she rather made her mind not to take it back.
So as I was jobless and had no income in two weeks , I went back to the computer and continued my search on how to make money and that time to , I got the BTC message.
I made research on what BTC is and what other cryptocurrencies were as well.
After the research, I got to know Cryptosystem truly exists. So I registered for a BTC wallet on blockchain.info. But I found no money in my wallet as I thought I would.
And I asked myself ,"Is this really true" ? And my answer to my question was "OH NO"!!! This can't be true , I rather thought it was one of the scams online so I shunned the BTC stuffs and moved on with my criminal life .
When I got to the age of 16 , I still had no good paying after school job and my view was because I made no move to get a new job because I thought the amount i get per day in the other storeis what id get from all the stores in my community.

My life was very unpredictable and hard as well.
So I made my mind to search for how to make free BTC the next time I visited the internet. But this time , I visited YouTube and found a post on steemit by @jerrybanfield . actually, my believe to his expression on how to make free BTC wasn't that strong so I made farther searches and saw that of @joeparys too.
I was very surprised because I was once told, BTC can not be gotten for free , unless you buy them from a local BTC seller or online with a credit card .

At the age of 18.To be honest with you, I had no credit card neither having the chance to hold that of my parents because they knew me to be stubborn and can buy anything online without their knowing.
I was very aggressive to that and made my way off to other platforms just to make free BTC. But non of the sites were legit and real as they described themselves. And I also found out a company who sells and buy BTC in my country after that small research and step taken.
Lol.

I then put a stop to hat my simple stealing anymore because I saw myself as a grown up and I am to be a gentle and fight for my lost respect back but never left my dream of making money behind.
On January this year, i made my mind to try that of website and the method of getting free BTC of @jerrybanfield and @joeparys . So I submitted my correct information and waited for my approval.
In a week later, my account got approved and I made some resteems and stuffs.

And made my introduction post that earned me only 5SBD.
I actually didn't get bored because I found myself as a new member on the platform , so that's okay.
I later made and article on my research on BTC and that also earned me 1SBD.
So in one week later, I claimed my reward and made my mind to withdraw and see if that really works.

So I did using @blocktrades as I browsed through some steemit posts .
That's amount I withdrew got into my BTC wallet and I cashed it out and asked for a little money from my mum to buy myself a new android phone which is worth $200 .
Actually , I have found steemit to be a better platform and I have promised and made oats to myself and God that , I will never go back to my sinful acts anymore because this can actually help me get all that I need.

Thanks for finding steemit, if i hadnt found this amazing platform, like i could upgrade to be an armed robber or irresponsible citizen which could lead me to be in prison.

Thank you all for helping here .
I love you all and have devoted to be a good member .

Thank @jerrybanfield and @joeparys for showing me the way to steemit straight away.
