Who am I?

My name is Ishola Olamide. I am a Nigerian born and bred female, born in the nineties. I was born into a family of; my Dad (who is a businessman), my mum (a lecturer), my elder brother and two elder sisters. I grew up in Oyo State, South-west of Nigeria and completed my Secondary school Education at Christ the King College, Ibadan which is the capital of Oyo State and one of the largest African cities.

I love reading inspirational books, dancing, cooking, reading books, playing football and I love seeing movies with my family and friends. i could describe myself as more of an extrovert because I'm a very outgoing and easy going person who finds it easy to get along with people around.

My Story So Far

About my personal life, I have experienced so many difficulties in my life, there was a point in my life in which my parents couldn't afford to pay my school fee when I wanted to enter university. I work part-time as a sale girl after my lectures in a company in Akure, Ondo State. But it is very difficult because I have to work hard everyday to pay for my school fee, feed myself and pay for my house rent with my salary to enter university and there are sometimes that it becomes very difficult to eat or buy things. I'm honestly barely coping and just holding on endlessly to the hope of things getting better because everyday is a struggle of its own.

My Goals in Life

A life without dreams is dead

I have so many dreams I wish to bring to reality, plans in my life that I want to carry out, goals i hope to achieve and a constant burning within me that I have to make it. I need to be a great person, I have to start up my own business so that I can be able to afford to pay my house rent my school fees and to feed myself and do other necessary things for myself. I hope steemit will be able to help me do this. This is one of the reasons why I joined Steemit.

Joining Steemit

SOURCE

I was invited to Steemit by @sirsticks and though I was at first relunctant to join, I decided to give it a try. Funny enough @sirsticks was invited to Steemit by @ajremy, who happened to be my junior in Secondary school and who was also invited by @tojukaka, who was my Biology teacher. So having a lot of people like @sirsticks, @tojukaka @ajremy @baboyed1000 and so on who i know personally and who are on the platform and making considerable income was one of the things which made me join. However, I'm not just in it for the money but also because I personally love the fact that Steemit is a decentralised blockchain.

Steemit is all about spreading love on a blockchain. I want to be part of that

Also, I believe in Steem and Steemdollars as cryptocurrencies that would storm the crypto realm and they're already doing just that.

My Appeal

I'm appealing to each and every member of the community to please accept me and put me through on some things to make my stay here awesome. I'm happy to be here and I hope you're happy to have me.
