IF NOT FOR BIG DREAMS CONTEST by @michaelcj

Hello steemians,

Welcome back.

IF NOT FOR BIG DREAMS CONTEST reminded me of the story of my life and struggle to be a computer engineer coupled with software engineer skills.

The picture above was taken 2004 in Akure, Ondo State. To the left is my friend who is now a still motion graphic designer and a voice imaging programmer. To the right is his elder sister who was my crush.

At that time, I was 18years of age and had a big dream of becoming everything computer represent because I knew soon or later everyone will be needing a computer and the era of internet of things will come.

But living in Akute, Ondo State would not help me achieve my dream, so I move to Lagos where my mother lives. She lives alone because they (father & mother) were separated.

In Lagos, I was introduced to Karus Systems [www.karus.com] where I can study as Software Engineer. Enquiries made but the tuition was a problem and we could not afford it because there was no support from my father.

I was disappointed because my big dream was chartered because of money but I picked up myself, enrolled into Lagos City Poly and did my National Diploma in Computer Science which was where I stopped because of unemployment.

I lost my dreams, started struggling to find my foot, had help from my fiance who is now my wife (pictured below) and I became a Photographer and a blogger in the process.

To cut this long story short. Please visit the link below to read my story proper: https://steemit.com/life/@stevenmosoes/expecting-the-expected-6-help-your-wife

Steemit gave me a new found believe in myself, I can be all I want to be just by patience, consistence, and diligence in posting well formatted original content with no copy and paste whatsoever.

We were many who join steemit together same month because of the campaign of driving steemit to every home in Nigeria by @steemnaira community but today here I am standing strong.

They thought steemit is a get rich quickly platform but it is not unless you have enough money to invest in steem power and meet the right people.

Lastly,

If not for big dreams, I won't be a Lagosian today.

If not for big dreams, computer engineer coupled with software skills won't be my choice of education.

If not for big dreams, I won't be on this platform of great unending opportunities.

If not for big dreams on steemit, I might not have the opportunity join the team of great performers, personality and big dreams @steemnaira community.

Today, I am a Photographer, a medical online researcher, and a digital marketer in the making.

Using this opportunity to thank @curie and team with @surpassinggoogle & team for constantly motivating us to become like them.

I also appreciate @seyico2011 for inviting me to this platform and @dante31, @michaelcj, @ehiboss, @greenrun @destinysaid for accommodating us (minnows) and helping us grow.

Here I draw the cotton, till we meet again in my next post.

I want to participate in this contest. Please link below:
