Steemit Restored the Love Between my Dad and I

I have learned somethings and I am still learning, I cannot but say I am grateful to be on a platform that has helped me to be able to share my ideas.

When I was a little girl, I had a book like a diary, I use to write down whatsoever anyone did to me either good or bad. I said to myself one day, I will be able to write this down in a place that so many people will be able to read.

How that dream was going to come through was something I could not explain but I was very sure that I wanted a large number of people to read through but I was only a poor little girl who had no one's attention.

The day I found out about steemit by a very great and wonderful steemian, was the beginning of the accomplishment of my dreams, even if I was initially lazy about the platform, I was encouraged and I stayed.

I had always wanted to make my father proud of me, I had always wanted to show that something great and useful could come out of me, but how could I do that when I was not even a first-class student as my parents had always wanted me to be.

My fear increased when I got into final year in the university, I wonder what will become of me after convocation, how I was going to go home to my parents and tell them I could not make a first-class degree after studying for four years, how was I supposed to make them understand that I tried to read, that I had spent sleepless nights in the library but all my efforts proved futile as I always did not have a good result to show forth.

I did not even know how to tell my father about steemit, that will not make it look like a Ponzi scheme, I had tried so many businesses and it had failed me, how was I supposed to make him know that this one was for real and that it had come to stay and even if I tell him will he believe me all this were the questions that ran through my mind.

I was returning home after so many years of running away from my fears, I had to go back home and settle things and make things good and I had to do that bearing in mind that my dad is a very strict disciplinarian and it might not be easy to convince him to believe that what I did was legitimate.

So I had a plan to call his friend who believed I was a very good girl to come and help me tell him that I will not do anything illegal.

I was not happy that I had to invite someone who was not a member of our family to come tell my father that I am a good girl, so I decided not to invite anyone to come talk to him and I was ready to face the consequence.

When I was going home, I quickly said a little prayer with a strong belief that it will work, I placed the heart of my father into the hands of God and I asked God to do something and let things change for my good.

When I got home and I told my dad about the platform, he was very happy and he said this is a very good thing you have found out about especially when I told him that I could just type my name on google and everything I have done on this platform will appear.
He was very happy and he prayed for the achievement of more success and greatness. This is the most surprising thing I have ever seen in my life and as well a quick response to prayers.

Since that time, my dad and I have become friends and we have had things going well and smooth for us ever since then, I am grateful to this platform and to all the people who have helped me grow.
