HOW HIVE CHANGED MY STORY

in Hi From Hive2 years ago (edited)

Every morning when I wake up, I do appreciate God for the gift of life which I have gotten because I know it is not just myself who just got up from the bed without the creator having hand in it for me to open my eyes to the world this morning, so every bit is just about appreciating God for the privilege received. This morning I will be talking about some of my encounter in life so far from now and how it has been for me overtime. Normally I do think that sometimes when one pass through a problem or situation which one doesn't like, you think everything is going to end for you and you started giving up easily, but I get to know that there is every reason fro every happening.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE



As I was saying any situation we found ourselves even if it is unpleasant, we should always have it in my mind that there is a reason for such thing to happen, so I want to go into how some things which I thought they were problem for me later became blessings.

I finished secondary school some years back and I was seeking admission into the university but during this period my father has already retired from a government work so he was now a pensioner and he was just been given a small amount every month not even up to sober many expenses, I started striving for how I will gain admission to university, I wrote jamb the first time, wasn't picked even though passing the cut off mark, wrote the second time same story and I later wrote the third time which I picked FUTA as my choice of institutions, I went to write the school post utme and I score well getting above the cut off mark, the admission list came out and I was offered admission but another problem is money since my father is now a pensioner, how will I pay the fees and I started thinking won't I go to school again, so I forfeited the admission which I was given in FUTA, not knowing God is setting down a nice path for me but I couldn't notice.

GETTING TO A BETTER PLACE



After the admission being forfeited, I went for a change of institutions, which I now picked F that same year and I wrote the post utme also and I was admitted, the school fees was not too high still I couldn't pay, I called my brother and they assisted me in paying the school fees, I went into the university and my first year was so hectic and very frustrating that I could not feed myself well in school, somedays I won't even have the privilege to taste food as it was very tough no money but I was still struggling to read a little, that didn't drop my point in school but the means of living was tough.

My roommate then in my 100l days started behaving somehow leaving me in the house and going out to eat and still come back home buying stuff without even looking at my side to even share with me. I do go to my friend's place to eat which I was almost fed up to leave school. My brother who was supporting while in school also gained admission the following year and no one to be sending me few money again, thinking all day I had to leave my former hostel to go stay with him to save the stress of paying for hostel twice and how God do his own, my brother roommate happens to be @starstrings01 which I went to their place and not knowing he was into hive and when he saw what I was passing through he explained about hive to me and he started mentoring me.

I became an hive member and I was sure getting little money and I was very happy when I first withdraw a little amount then which was $3, the joy on my face that day was very much that I was just overwhelmed, people who doesn't know will think I got over $200 and since then I started building my account and It was growing even though I haven't understand the platform well then but @starstrings01 who was God sent for me always tutor everything which I need to know and support me. Financially he was helping and I started growing more on my hive account through my engagement and now I am doing better.

I now support people with little money which I have now or which I am making and I remember when I couldn't even see a thousand note to get something and I am now the one helping people out of what God has done for me.
So in my own I don't see anything happening to someone as a disappointment, I see them as BLESSINGS IN DISGUISE.


SUMMARY OF MY VIEW TO HIVE



Hive is not just a platform where you rush to with mindset of quickly getting money without sacrificing time and other factors. I have learnt to be more engaged in different community which I know sure one day I will hit it big and gain support from users.

Thanks brother. It is a testimony for me anywhere

Hi there, I think you are so lucky to come across @starstrings01, he is such a great mentor for newbies. It's great that you are already in the helping others mentality as that is the only way Hive will grow, with existing users helping others, particularly new users, I hope you will continue to grow your account on Hive.
