If am not wrong in my little understanding, talent is quite synonymous to gift.
There are people who have just a talent, while some are bestowed with lots of it, just like the story in the bible about a master that gave talent to his disciples, a talent to one, two talents to another and give talent to the other. The one given one couldn't multiply it and the other ones were able to multiply theirs.
Right from time was an outspoken person, it was in my primary school days my teachers noticed, I like talking and giving speech during school hour, likewise in church too, people in school and at home get to know about this, and mostly at school that was what I was known for. Anytime it comes to debate or things that has to do which speech I can never be left out.
Fortunately for me, there's always an inter-class debate and quiz our school organizes, it's always once in a term where primary three (3), four(4) and five (5) participates, I was in primary 3 then but I with another girl there, damilola by name always come first, at the end of the debate or quiz we are always presented gift for ourselves. This serves as encouragement for me and makes me prepare ahead and incase of emergencies.
Even at church I was always representing our church for juvenile bible quiz, presenting speech at juvenile anniversary and stuffs like that, which make people in the church likes me. This continued till I got to senior secondary school when I started taking children sunday school lesson in church and organizing them for entertainment stuffs at church too, it was always a joy for people as members in the church loves me for it, till it got to the time that a brother in the church then had to teach me how to play the guitar, he sacrificed his time and resources just for a secondary school student, that was how I learnt how to guitar in the first place.
At school, I wasn't only outspoken I was brilliant too, most of the teachers likes me that I started taking private tutorial for one of the teachers son which she was actually paying me, as a young boy who wasn't financial bouyant I took it as an opportunity to sort out my luxurious life. This became part and parcel of me that I got so intense with teaching, after my secondary school I joined a tutorial where I take junior secondary school students also.
I developed my talent to the extent that I was teaching at a small age till I got into the university, it continued as I started a tutorial centre for the freshers, which I use in sorting my needs, which until this moment I am still a teacher which I believe sooner or later, it will take me to higher places.
