Hi my name is @teachaxie obviously i am into axie infinity. I have been here for almost 2 months already and witnessed the some crucial events already but still i didn't give them a damn.
My life before Axie.
I am a professional teacher that do not receive any salary monthly. Why? Because i loaned them already for 5 years. And repeatedly renewed it everytime there is a little proceed that i can recieve. But recently, it get too deep that my payslip reaches negative. I am so much devastated by that event, so much. I already considered death as the easy way but i woke up realizing i got tummies to feed and a family to live.
What lead me to negative salary?
There are 2 events that lead me to debts.
- The Super Typhoon Haiyan.
I am a newly hired public teacher before Haiyan happened last November 4, 2013, creating devastating damage to Tacloban City, Philippines. Before the event happened, i loaned money for the repair of our house,bought gadgets like projector, desktop, laptop and printer the equipment i need for teaching. And also i spent also money when my wife give birth to a healthy and lovely baby 4 days before the tragedy.
All of my things and investment got destroyed, washed out during the super typhoon. Leaving me into debt, unprofitable debt. So what i did, i add some loans to rebuild our house and yes, another dead investment.
- Scammed
Shall we call Kapa Investment Scam. The very juicy and promising scam ever happened in the Philippines. This investment scammed billions of money from investors before the government got an eye on them. And i am one of the victims.
I manage to borrow money from different people,friends and colleagues just to fund me with a promise that i will be returning the money after a month. With the juicy 30% per month i am blinded to invest more than i can earn.
The next struggle, Pandemic.
After those event i tried different things just to earn a living. But one of the worst scenario is about to come, Covid-19 combo event.
Why Combo event?
March 11, 2020 the house we where living at was sold by the owner giving us no option. And we cant complain because we are just living there for free. So we were forced to rent a house near my working station a whole room which we rent at 4800 pesos/ month. The hustle is, pandemic arrive and lockdown is declared that gave too much headache thinking how can i earn money for the rent since my second source income is about facing people.
How we managed to survive?
With the help of some friends and another debts to pay we are able to survive just for 5 months. My wife give birth to a healthy baby boy during pandemic but thankfully 1 of my boss sponsored the expenses knowing the fact that i dont have money to spend. After giving birth, we then leave the house we were renting and move to my parent's place and we are living here upto date.
And another problem arise, the baptism of my baby Anthony. Where to look for money and how to look for money since the movement is so limited because of pandemic. I got no problem when it come to food since i learned how to catch fish and gather rice for our daily need.
How did my son get baptized?
It is through the help of Axie Infinity.
Who introduced Axie Infinity to me?
It is my very good friend of mine, who never leave me alone. He mentioned to me the word Axie Infinity and what i did, without a trace of doubt i immediately commence on hunting for scholarship.
How did I acquire my Scholarship?
Since i am a teacher. I created some slides and teaching materials just to add up value to the community. I consulted some pro players before posting one slide per day. And luckily for just 2 weeks i was hired by @X1Abe and given me the chance to be part of the Team Tank family until now.
Now if you asked me, What can you say about Axie?
Well, they pets who rescued me. Even if i am still recovering from my very hard fall, all i can say is i can breath a little already. Axie infinity helped me a lot, from the baptism of my baby to the payments of my bill and even serve food on my table everyday. The cute pet rescued me, yes they did with my family. This is my main source of income as of today until the day ends i will always be grateful.
What is next?
Will i cannot say, what is next after axie infinity because i do not consider any P2E game as next to axie infinity. It will always be axie infinity until i recover and i will never stop giving back to the community.
What are my Community activities?
I with my friends started an ayuda drive which is on the version 2 already. If you wish to know about the details of the Ayuda Drive 2 just visit me at twitter @TeachAxie i provided link there and the summary of the activity.
How about you, who you are before axie infinity? What make you passionate when it comes to axie infinity?
