2018 was another year of social, academic, professional and spiritual growth for me. From exploring new things, leaving my comfort zone and my introduction to blockchain tech, it was a year of intense learning and fun.JPEG_20181116_223858.jpg
I would always appreciate God for all he has done for me, for the life he gave to me, for sound health, for my academics and so much more, he has being so great to me. I wanted year 2018 to be way different from 2017 and it was so.
The 12th of January 2018 was one of the days I would never forget, what I have being longing for long time was given to me. I was offered admission to a federal university with my disired course. I was offered statistics and computer science. It gave me so much joy that I couldn't eat that very day.
I started my registration process lately because of the financial hiccups I was experiencing and the deadline for all registration was around the corner. I prayed and long for a miracle from God. Eventually two days to the deadline my dad sent me the money for all the necessary fees, I was surprised because i spoke to him a day before and he told me he had nothing and now he just sent me more than I needed, in my heart I was in the seventh heaven already.
I resumed earlier than expected because I was happy. then I met a very good friend whose name is Jesse. He introduced me to blockchain technology, he told me about steemit, how the community worked and his various achievements. Steemit didn't really work out the way I thought it would go, my journey was really rough. My matriculation ceremony was fun. FB_IMG_1543506578165.jpg
I had an accident in the month of March. I lost a lot of blood before reaching the hospital but thank God I am alive, the nurse said it was a miracle I survived. Shortly I rounded off my first semester in school then my result came out. It was not really good as I thought it would be but I stilled thank God.
I resumed for my second semester in the month of June. Things where hard for me and my family, I had to go for menial jobs around the neighborhood just to make end meets. At the end of the week, I made a reasonable amount of money, joined with the money I was given by my lovely mom I left for school. I fell very sick for about 2 weeks, suffered from typhoid fever and it all happened during my examination. I was afraid of getting bad result but God surprised me again, my results were perfecto!.
Some days before I traveled back home, My friend Jesse introduced me to whaleshares. I was skeptical about joining but he told me to give it a try. My experience on whaleshares has being smooth and fun since I joined, I started working hard for a brighter future. I traveled home to see my mom and siblings all the way from Niger state in the north central part of Nigeria to Ondo state in the southwest, I had scary stories of harmed robbery and accident on the way but my journey was safe.

There is still more to say but I would drop my pen here. I am really grateful to God, he has done a lot for me this year. This year's crossover night would be awesome because I would dance more than king David ever did.
Thank you.
