Achievement 1: Introduce yourself by @patience90

Hello everyone. It's a privilege to be part of this great intellectuals.

My steemit post card

Writing helps me to communicate my innermost thoughts which I find difficult to express through words sometimes.

First and foremost, my name is Patience Akwash J; single, third daughter and last child among seven siblings. A graduate of B. Ed Educational Administration and Planning/English language from the prestigious University of Jos, Plateau State Nigeria and I am a certified teacher and I love my profession.
I did my compulsory one year National Youth Service (NYSC) at Government Girls Arabic Secondary School (GGASS) Isa Local Government Area, Sokoto State as a classroom teacher of English, the Bible Study Secretary of the Nigerian Christian Corpers Fellowship (NCCF), vice president of Drug Free Club (NDLEA/DFC) and the P.R.O, Corpers Welfare Association (CWA) 2014/2015 batch B.

My last day as a corper with some friends

Growing up, I hardly had female friends as all my age mates in my area were boys therefore, I have more male friends and confidants than females.
As a starter, I have little knowledge about cryptocurrency but I believe to gain more knowledge through steemit, and I will also be able to learn and understand more.

@Charis20 introduce me to steemit and @peachyladiva register me, I'm so greatful for thier great help to me as a fresher.

I have quite number of hobbies and I derive pleasure and satisfaction.
Reading is best and favorite hobby as it helps keep my mind active and busy. Also, I read a lot of stories on social media. Even though my dance steps aren't perfect, but I love to give a trial at a given opportunity. I love to listen to good soul lifting music as it is the food to my soul, refreshens and speaks to my mind.
I love catering and I often practice some of the recipe I learn online and I amazingly baked my last birthday cake (wow!). I tried cooking coconut rice and it tasted great. I have not stopped learning cookery because learning never ends.

As a teenager, I had great passion for tailoring even though my father is a tailor and a happening one during his youthful age, I wanted to learn for myself also. Therefore after my secondary education, I had the zeal to enroll into fashion school but was discouraged then after my university programme, I enrolled myself and started my apprenticeship for about 4 months before I went to answer the clarion call. Notwithstanding, I continued my learning few years after service due to some unavoidable hold ups.
To God be the glory, I can boldly say that I am a seamstress and I keep learning and practicing new and trending styles everyday. I am a lover of business and so, I am into buying and selling of materials (clothes) as its in line with my tailoring passion.

As learning is a continuous process, I would love to read other members' posts that will enable me improve in knowledge as this platform is made up of intelligent minds.

I love hanging around children and I love skipping ropes and playing with my pupils on the field.

In my post, I have few pictures of my first dress, I on my sewing machine, my birthday cake, I and my pupils in class, my friends and I having fun, some of the materials I sell, I and some of my nieces during my birthday and my last day as a corper

At my leisure, I play cool music while reading stories online from people like GranAmah and the likes to keep my mind refreshed.

Lastly I want to appreciate @Charis20 and @peachyladiva for sharing this great idea and thank you steemit for creating this great platform.
I wish to be verified to enable me explore this community.
