I have many challenges in life and some of which are those that have brought me to where I'm today. As a young man growing up, I battled a lot of things, and some of these things I was able to come out victorious from them whereas I'm still battling others till this moment.

To better participate in this contest today, let's go straight into the questions below. I will attempt the questions one after the other as a sign of my entry into the contest. Without further ado, let's get started.

My biggest challenge was eating outside. While I was growing up and still with my parents, I don't eat any food that is cooked outside my home. This was a serious problem for me and my mother because she continually feels that I may not be able to survive if I leave the house to school.

This act of mine continued until I got admission into the university. Since I don't eat out, my mum prepares soup and stew for me and then they git me a little fridge where I can keep the food and fetch them gradually to use.

It continued this way for a very long time. It's either food from my mother or I cook myself and eat. Going to an eatery or restaurant to purchase food was out of it completely. Most times I will be very hungry but I can not eat outside because I have this feeling that the food won't be as good as the one prepared in my house.

This continued until my 3rd year in the university when things became even more difficult. I had to adopt a different method even though when I tried eating out the first time I was hospitalized for about 3 days and the doctor termed it as food poison I understood that my system didn't agree with the food.

As I said earlier in the previous question, it wasn't an easy task getting over this challenge but in the end, I was able to scale through because I had no alternative.

In my 3rd year at the university, the stress increased significantly so in other to keep myself on track, I had to adapt to eating out. The first weeks of trying this experiment were indeed very difficult because I got ill and was rushed to the hospital.

I continued trying it once in a while after I recovered and with time I adapted to that very lifestyle. It was not fully tough because I ensure to eat out just once or twice a week so that I don't get myself affected in any way. With the method of eating out just once or twice a week, I adopted eating out.

Well, based on my experience I have, I will want to advise steemians most especially those who don't eat out or do not eat any food that is not prepared by their family to please start at the moment to adapt to it.

I never knew that things will turn out to be the way it was because I was never taught about staying away from my parents and staying on my own at this stage. I was always thinking we will always be together.

Based on that, my advice to as many reading this publication today is to learn to adapt to the things people around are eating so that they too may not fall into the same shoes as mine.

Indeed it was a great challenge on my part to start eating food that was not prepared in my house. I got sick at some point because of that very incident. I urge those who have the same challenge to try and start adapting to eating outside as they say the earlier the better. In conclusion, I want to finally invite @malikusman1 @chant @suboohi @steemdoctor1 @josepha @msharif and @ripon0630 to share their participation if they haven't done that.
