First I'll love to say a big thank you to @damarth for what he is doing for us minnows on steemit.
Since joining steemit my life has improved greatly in every aspect. Before joining steemit I was having serious financial issues and also was not making good use of my time because where I come from there is little to do to fetch you money.
I wanted to acquire some hand skills but there was no money for the registration, school was going to resume in few weeks and I had no money for fees and even books not to mention clothings. The thought of how to solve these problems continued to depress me because I felt like I wasn't making good use of time and there wasn't much I could do.
Few weeks into december a friend @yourmercury introduced me to steemit. On december 25th I started blogging and right from that moment everything changed. Within weeks of blogging I started earning real money online and I started developing a new hobby. My way of thinking improved and the I started solving my problems bit by bit. I joined a steemit community #steembenin created by my buddy @jaff8 and made friends with great minds like @estheromoyiwola and a host of many others . steemit helped me in purchasing a phone which I now use mainly for steemit related purposes.
All thanks to @damarth and many other kind steemians for their upvotes I've been able to start saving funds for my school fees and textbooks and hopefully I'll achieve my target soon.
When I resolve all these issues hopefully I wish to start investing here on steemit and when I'm big enough I will bring up different platforms to give back to the steemit community.
Steemit community has shown me that I can become a part of a revolution and I'm glad for that.
