INTRODUCING MYSELF IN 5 DIFFERENT WAYS
My name is Diana C. Madugba, you can figure out the C. on your own. I hail from Suleja, a South-western suburbs of Nigeria, am currently a student of microbiology in Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Anambra State.I like music, truth
I dislike liars, I love cooking and dancing
Well that's a summary of my personality, but if you want to know more about me, I advise you should keep reading.
For the past two weeks, I've been thinking about the best way to introduce myself to everyone here and still stand out from what every other person is doing, so I decided to "Introduce myself in 5 different ways"
INTRODUCING MYSELF IN 5 DIFFERENT WAYS
As lady who has gone through many ups and downs, been buffeted by several storms of life, attained success in a few spheres of life, I can boldly say that I'm a better person.
AS A PREACHER'S KID (PK)
Born into the family of a Reverend Minister, I can tell you emphatically that "Life is more terrible than good".
From the terrible aspect, I struggled with a lot of things most importantly poverty. Dad served in a denomination where ministers could be transfered to just any place and must be full-time. If a minister should complain that the transfer is not favourable, he will be asked to go and prove that he was called by God. You can call it wickedness. I saw it as extreme wickedness too while growing up. As such, my family suffered serious financial troubles. Dad always wanted the best for I and my siblings. As a successful businessman before he became a full-time minister, he had lived large and most times went extra miles such as incurring heavy debts and commitments to ensure we had the best education.
One of the woes of being a preacher's kid was zero social life which led to low self-esteem. Dad didn't buy a television set until I was 14years old not because he couldn't afford to get one but because he felt it would "spoil" us and that it wasn't a necessity since there were other pressing needs like our feeding and education.
My parents hated living in public compounds where there would be too much bad influence from peers. As far back as I can remember, we lived in flats wherever we were transferred to. Hence, I hadn't friends, there was minimal interaction with friends. When caught having long conversations with my mates in church, neighbors or classmates, I was questioned and warned to cut such communication. Ladies and gentlemen, my life was boring and lonely.
The only good part of being raised by a preacher was that I and my siblings were raised to be obedient, hardworking and wells mannered. One other good thing was that, as Dad got promoted, it came with a tranfer to a bigger church, his salary became bigger and better, there were fat gifts from members and other incentives.
AS A LOVER OF HONESTY
While growing up, the virtue of honesty was instilled into my little brain by one incident I can never forget even in the life to come. Dad and mum were to go on visitation to a family who received a new born baby that fateful Sunday evening. So as the eldest child, I was told to take care of my siblings and then apply insecticide to all the bedrooms. I was too playful to hear the last instruction which was, "Get the insecticide from the table in my office". Dad left and I left to play too. When he came back and asked me if I did what he told me to do, I answered in affirmation. Little did I know that he had already gone to his office before coming home. The insecticide was still lying where it was untampered. To cap it up, I was caught lying and given a terrible beating. Till now, it is officially programmed into my head that, Honesty is the best policy If it weren't, such beating wouldn't have been my portion.
AS AN OPTIMIST
My father is a faith preacher. His life story can be likened to that of a lion who is chasing after a prey. Never giving up! Never relenting! Being his first child, I learnt to be audaciously optimistic. Not being daunted by challenges that came my way, I always reached out to be the best. It's the same till today, I remember struggling with poor health and little upkeep during my school days. It was enough reason to become a flirt but I persevered, being hopeful that my future would be better if only I focused on achieving success. In my thinking, Success is meant for persons that consciously work towards it intrepidly.
AS A BLOGGER
Anyways, I've always loved to write, and I've been looking for platforms such as this to exercise my writing prowess, I've been featured in many of my School's magazines and articles compendium, I've even done some freelancing jobs online for some firms that I got paid for, so this is a wonderful opportunity for me to own my own blog for free... And still get paid for it... Awesome 😘😘😘
AS A LEADER/MENTOR
I've had the privilege to head a team of young ladies in school called VIABLE MOTIVATORS, our goal is to help educate the girl child about values of the society and ensure successful culmination into the society. (I'll write about it in my subsequent articles though).
I can't say I'm a perfect lady I think am an example to many other ladies who have taught of giving up on their dreams to chase mundane things whereas they could reach to the top. Someone once said "Life's not a fanfare, but a warfare". Permit me to add, ' Those who who work hard are rewarded with rich, reproductive lives '
HOW "EXACTLY" DID I FIND STEEMIT?
I use the word "EXACTLY" because my steemit adventure is kinda funny, I heard about this during the PONZI renaissance of Nigeria,early 2017. first thing that came to my mind is <they have come again), you could understand because I had just lost so much money then that I really didn't want to venture into anything at that moment.
Fast forward to February 2018, my friend,boss and partner @iamchijamz sent me a link to register for something, because I trust him, I did register for it, he now said it takes 7 days to get approved ,and I was like "7 days? That's enough to make someone loose interest " anyways I registered and that was it. He then directed me to a recruitment scheme of @Antigen revolution, lead by @antigenx [my steemit daddy] @brightfame, @lorenzo1420, @joagawu,[my steemit Mummy ],@sammyswt, they've been wonderful in giving me my basic training and have helped me get to this point, I really love you guys....muah.
I love writing, so steemit is going to be my personal blog and it's gong to be very very engaging, if you like suspense and intrigues...you'll get more of it with me... I believe the best is yet to come. I am here to stay and steemit is my new found love.
Thank you so much for reading my lengthy article about myself, am looking forward to making friends here... A whole lot of friends, so if you think I can be your friend, I'd have said inbox me, but steemit doesn't have that option.... Yet, so just comment below, let's get to know each other.
