Today I want to write on how I got my first income and how motivated I was. It was a little girl's joy to earn her first income for the first time.
It happened when I was about 9 years old. My dad has moved to a new apartment in a very big compound with many neighbors. At first, we were always indoor because my dad never wanted us to mingle too much with the kids around. But anytime he went for work, he will leave us with one young lady to take care of us.
The lady was a very good hairstyle and I just kind of loved her for many reasons. She was welcoming, playful, a good cook and also a good hairstylist.
During the weekends, people always come to her with their children to make their hairs against the upcoming week. Whenever she was making their hair do, I'll always love watching her and also assist her in any way I could. She saw that I was learning very fast and she had to draw me closer and she did something that I was not expecting at all. She told one of the child to sit down and she asked me to make her hair. At first I thought it was a joke because I was not sure if I was really going to do well but surprisingly to everyone including myself, I did really well.
After that experience, people saw that I was really good with the hair I made for the little girl. One Saturday, a friend of mine was looking for where to make her hair because the person that normally makes her hair was not available so she asked me if I would be able to make it for her. It sounds crazy but I said "why not". Should I say that was one of the worst answers I've ever given. She had a very full hair and it was also very long. Could you believe it took me almost two days to finish making that hair? Saturday and Sunday after we came back from church, she had to take half hair to church 馃槄馃槄.
After I finished making her hair she looked so beautiful, she loved her hair, even her parents too and they paid me #300 for my services rendered. At that time, that money was huge for me and after that first work I always tried my best not to make a hair for more than a day and it has been going well. Finishing that hair was a really great push for me to do more, I was motivated by the pay and I kept learning more so I can deliver more.
This was how I got my first income and how I became an hairstyle. Thank you for reading through, see you at my next blog 鉂ｏ笍鉂ｏ笍.
