Hello everyone, how's it going with you? Thank you for stopping by my blog. It feels good to be able to write on this topic : 'That one skill'
I'm going to need a little bit of your time as I take you on a ride down the lane of the skill that I have that pays.
I was in the first semester of my final year when a pandemic happened that made everyone to pause studies.
I had been in the house for a couple of months until I got sick of the house. I mean waking up to a daily routine could be so boring.
I did not have a good phone then, so I could not access the Internet. Ouch! You can imagine the monotony.
I practically read all the novels I could lay my hands on. I did a lot of writing most especially poems.
The only thing that used to take me out of the house was church and this did not happen often.
One day, I was in a discussion with a friend. Damn! This guy is a good conversationalist. I mean it. One thing I love most is that you can't sit with Tom without learning something. He asked me a skill that I could love to do. I told him writing. Yes! I love writing and reading so much that I get accustom to not leaving the house without a text. As a reserved person, the things that keep me company are my novels, books and pen 馃槢.
I'm working on that part of being reserved actually
After telling him that, he said it was lovely but he was asking of a skill that can be lucrative especially in a time like the one in which we were at that moment.
I told him I had non and he advised that I make use of the break to learn something.
I scanned my head to find something that might interest me馃槙 but anything I could think of was out of my reach. He gave me options but I found most of the things he mentioned as stressful even after he expatiated on each of it.
After all was said, I chose fashion and design. I knew I loved creativity and fashion but the act of sitting of a manual machine to paddle to me would be very hectic.
I told him I will think about it any figure out what I at least like.
Finally, I resolved to fashion and design. It was hard to cope at the onset but I could not let my mum's money and effort to waste-- I am not that kinda child. At some point I started getting used to it-- the usual back ache and headache. I thought I would not be able to last long but I was surprised at how things turned up.
I started making clothes for family and friend with their fabrics. I mostly used their fabrics to learn new styles before I could see for any other person. I did mistakes sometimes and learn from it.
By the time the pandemic came to a halt, I resumed school with a fresh skill though i wasn't so perfect. I started sewing cloths for friends in school and that stood as my side hustles and I was able to sort out some bills without asking mum of it.
Though lectures did not give me time to stay throughout the year I applied for. I'm still grateful that I did not waste that chance that I had to do something meaningful.
Even after I finished school and went for another program, I still used the skill I acquired to pay most of my bills till date.
Below are samples of my work, I hope you'd love it
I am happy I learnt a skill that pays.
All the pictures seen were taken by me
Thanks for having me 馃槉
I love you 鉂わ笍
I am
