It's always a lovely on to participate in @surpassinggoogle's contest. He has been an inspiration to us all.
He has thought us all to love regardless of the forces around.

Awesome adjustments since I joined Steemit.

I joined Steemit in May 2017. I was referred by @woleybabz. He is probably tired of me as I mention him all the time. Thanks to him.

Before Steemit

A jack of few trades; I had my hands full of activity. Having graduated from one of the most expensive schools in Nigeria, I had the drive to get a good job and pay my parents back.

Things didn't work out as planned as I ended up becoming a great job applicant who never got employed.

I was forced to join my parents' business (a school) because no one believed in my dream of starting a Computer repair business.

I studied Biochemistry with a good grade but I repaired computers during my spare time in University.
I was just comfortable opening them up. I was broke so the dream flopped.

Youtube saved the day and I began watching video after video. I learned things I wouldn't learn if I studied computer science in the university.

Fast Track to 2016, my mum went on vacation to U.S. so I took over the school for 6 months. She returned in May 2017.

A Selfie with some pupils on Career Day

Coincidentally, I was wearing my best shirt. Same I wore the day I took a selfie at a recording job.

That was the time @woleybabz sent me a message on telegram about Steemit.
Little did I know he was sharing what would later become part of my daily life. I was about to leave my mum's establishment so I felt Steemit will be of no help.

Just type and make some money? Not that easy man!

I had Candid Article then so I said to myself; "can anything be better than Adsense?

Well, I know better now.

Who I am before Steemit

I'm a little bit of everything tech.

When I found Steemit, so many things happened.

Although was a rookie Photoshop Designer, I didn't use the software for any good except for a few manipuulations before Steemit.

Today, I can say I have done a few things I am proud of.

The best part is that I met a couple of Steemians especially the @steem-lagos team.
They taught me the basics of Cryptocurrency.

I also got to visit an orphanage for the first time.

Don't look at my legs please. :-)

I learned that giving is a blessing.
