Hello hivers I am Angelica from Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria. I grew up here. fortunately, I attended primary and high school here in Akwa Ibom State. I've never really had an opportunity to leave but it's ok.

LIFE IN HIGH SCHOOL

After my primary education. I prepared hard for an entrance examination into Secondary school (High School), and was admitted. My parents were excited about my progress and I was so excited about leaving home to the boarding school. On the day of resumption, my parents dropped me off at the dormitory. At this point the excitement of leaving home disappeared. I cried myself to sleep feeling abandoned but with time, I was able to adjust.

LIFE AFTER HIGH SCHOOL

After High school, I was faced with a challenge of going to the university. I wrote Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) exams several times, passed the required cut off point but unfortunately I wasn't still admitted. This whole situation made living devastating. I became depressed on several occasions, most times I felt dieing was the best option.

SKILL AND CAREER ACQUISITION

I later decided to acquire a skill. I went for training on how to use some architectural softwares such as archiCAD, I also went to a catering school to acquire a baking skill. These kept me occupied for a couple of years until I got admitted into the university.

LIFE NOW

The major things I'm into are writing, Architectural building design, and baking.
My baking journey began two years ago when I decided to compete at cake mania 2019. my experience there made me decide to take baking to a different level.

I can't say the journey was easy. Considering the fact that I didn't really have the tools to begin, I had to deliver the cakes in one piece, I also had to ensure my customers were impressed and satisfied.

CONCLUSION
