Thank you for this opportunity to express myself.

So, I am a very regular online user, but I only visit few sites. I'm very popular on the Nigeria biggest forum My profile I can visit that site like 100 times a day. I visited as usual on the 29th of January, surfing the site and I saw an interesting thread so I decided to check it out The Thread

I picked interest immediately and started asking some questions. I have been looking for a platform like this where I can earn cash so I hurriedly opened an account and It was approved after 5 days.

I joined Steemit because I need to add something to my pay check. I needed to see reasons why I should subscribe to my monthly data plan.

I'm a very shy person that believes it will be so difficult for me to make friends with people outside my country. I wanted to see how far I can go. I took it as a challenge to push myself.

I am not also good with my writing skills so I said to myself "You will only have to comment since you can't write" I felt like I can't make it here cause of my English writing skills so I decided to push myself to write. I wrote my first article and got $0.085....It was like a dream come through. I never imagined someone could actually read my blog and upvote so it grew my confidence. And today, I post on my blog at least once a day.

Steemit is an eye opener for me even though the earnings aren't coming so well now, but I have met a lot of friends that accepted me the way I am. People who understands that my writing isn't perfect, but they could spare few cents just to encourage. I have regained my confidence to a certain level.

Honestly, I am so glad to be part of this great platform. It has really helped me a lot in some many ways.

Thank you for this opportunity to share my story. Cheers!
