SEC19 W1: "This is my style"

My style

Being determined to succeed in whatever I lay my hands on is my style. Not minding how difficult it is. At the beginning of whatever thing I do, I do not see the big picture but I also try my best to put in all my best. Even when others find it difficult, I try hard to put my mind into it.

Before my admission into the polytechnic, I asked a distant relative of my who was doing her preliminary studies in the same school and the same course that I had interest in how the course is. She told me that it is very hard and difficult. I asked her if there are people that succeed in that course and she said yes. I decided to go in for it. The truth is that I don't take no for an answer unless my mind is not made up. And as a result, I worked very hard and in the end, I consistently got distinction in all the semesters.

I could remember when I joined Steemit newly, then it was just myself in my city of residence. I tried hard to tell people about Steemit, but then they were interested in the money they can gain out of it. Since the price of steem was very low then, any amount I tried to tell them was insignificant compared to what they were gaining in the then reigning Ponzi schemes. Well, I don't give up easily. I continued blogging without even knowing if something huge was going to come out of it and here I am today on the blog.

my journey as a fitness lover

The main story that I want to share is my fitness activities. I joined fitness group 2 years ago as a result of my health challenge. Yes, I was diagnosed of osteoarthritis. I found it very difficult to move, seat and even get up then. I was advised to exercise regularly and I joined. My focus was to get well but at the same time, I was very serious with it. I never shy away from any program that was given to me. I was doing exactly like @fifapresido who is in my fitness group and who tries to complete his program and even motivate others.

I was looked up to. Any program that was difficult for me, then no one will agree to do it because according to them, if ngoenyi can't be able to do it, then they can't. I never knew that I was preparing myself for being a fitness trainer.

I was so consistent and I had the energy. Our fitness mama once told my instructor then that this lady, that's me, is the stuff that can become a trainer before you know it. That I got the energy and the consistency. I just smiled when I heard it. I wasn't aiming for that but to just do my thing.

But I was also busy working with my fitness instructor, advising him where he needs help so as to carry his group to the next level. I was supportive in everything he does even when others are not there for him. He picked interest in me that he always confide in me. Whenever he has a challenge, he will always come to me for advice. With time, he started using me when he will not be there or his second so that I can take classes for him.

With time, I developed that habit of training myself and anyone who happened to meet me training myself.

Do you know that, that was how I became a trainer that I am today?

as an instructor

One day when I couldn't go out to train with my instructor, I went out to the playground close to my house to train myself. There, I will meet people who want me to train them. The first time it happened, I was told to always come around to train them, that I got the style, I ran away, thinking that I couldn't be able to handle it. I will also think of how I will be able to leave my instructor who has taken me as his right hand woman so to speak. I thought of a lot of things.

But some friends encouraged me to try it out. That I can do it. That was how I made up my mind to be an instructor till date.

It looked like a group that the Almighty prepared for me. Since then, I have been working so hard to ensure that I give my group all the training they deserve which will make them to always come to train with me. I do spend time and energy, researching on the best form of exercises and programmes that will be good for us all. I am glad that despite the fact that I didn't go for formal training before becoming a trainer, I am still doing my best.

My aim is to try my best to still register in any gym centre to be able to meet more instructors and learn more things. I believe it will help me.

The Lesson

My style has always been seeing me through.

Consistency has always been my watch word.

I don't look at what others say or do my I am always determined to succeed in whatever I do. My belief is that, I will always learn whatever that comes around me, you never can tell which of them will help you tomorrow.

We all need to be serious with whatever we are doing because it may turn out that such thing might be the main thing that could be helping us financially or otherwise. It is through that at the onset, such thing might be very difficult and there maybe no financial gains. But with time, you will see the benefits.

It is true that we can't be good in everything, but we can learn as much or as little as we can and add to what we already know.

The world is dynamic, opportunities they say might come once in life. Make good use of it while you have the time.

I want to invite @okere-blessing @eveteem and @fifapresido to take part in this contest. Success to you all!
