Taking Baby Steps... #IntroduceYourself

First off, this is awkward... Yes, awkward.! Can I get some encouragement? Please?IMG_20171221_171947.jpg

I feel like a young man who just landed on the moon, a child who cries due to his inability to choose red or green toys, a teen undergoing puberty and a scientist about to hit moment - the Eureka moment! All at once. Phew...

Truth is, this is my first blockchain experience and the reason is not far-fetched - I've been a victim of a blockchain scam, a terrible one at that but I hope to overcome that seeing how much positivity steemit has to offer me.

I am a freelance writer, and as one, it would be pretty disappointing to see this as my first post yeah? Yeah, I know. Truth is, I've given it so much thought as to how I would want my first touch down here to feel but never found the perfect one so I thought, "why not hit the ground running?" "If you fail, you'll crashland, at least you've started" LOL. ...and that's how I found myself here.

I'm a student by day (mornings), a writer, worker and entrepreneur in the afternoons, and a thinker and idea proponent by night! I live such a complicated life cause I feel the world is not ready for me yet. Yup, I said that. My head is always aching with ideas...

This has moved me to start an Entrepreneurial Club in school called The Frandela Pack. I have always believed in teamwork and helping others achieve their dreams. Why? Cause you end up helping yourself in the process too. Your reward may not be immediate but it'll come along someday, even in ways you've never imagined. The club is still undergoing registration but while at it, we're seeking for patrons, sponsors and awesome peeps who support great causes to buy into our dream!

Okay! No, I'm not a freak. I sound like an Einstein or Jimmy Neutron with grey hair right now so to avoid that, here's a simple picture of me:PSX_20180108_000548.jpg

During my free time, I blog. You can check out my blog at https://frandela.com. I'm also on major social media platforms such as Twitter (https://twitter.com/@francis_ihe), Instagram (https://instagram.com/@francis_ihe) and Facebook as Francis Ihejirika but as @francisihe on Steemit. I do a bit of web design, #photography, software and hardware repairs, design cards and I sing to the walls of my bathroom. I'm so interested in technology but I keep asking myself why I'm studying #biochemistry but often find myself writing, designing and doing everything #art related.

At this point, I may have to ask if there's any other "confused" teen like myself? Yup, I'm only 20, looking way older.

Thanks to @kingeazi for inviting me to this platform.

P.S. If you feel like you need a blogger to write for you, a web designer for your blog or something out-of-the-box done for you, I'm your go-to guy. I love to learn to so if you feel there's something I'm not doing right, or there's somewhere I need to improve, do let me know.

Thanks everyone! I hope the Steemit community loves me like I love it/y'all already!

Thank you @steemladder! I find the 50:100:200:25 rule quite interesting. I'm already excited and not sure what to expect too. I hope I climb up quite fast like @mauryis, blog as good as @flamingirl and make progress like @lackluster.
