Greetings everyone, am James, Gift Bassey. Nigeria is my country and I reside in its southern part.
Diversity and creativity has been and always will be man's inner form. Hence, I present myself not just as Gift but as a multifaceted being.
When you bring me to the table I present myself in the form you want and when you tell me what you need from me i bring the part you desire.
As a child I loved dancing, singing, writing as well as reading.
As a teenager I was promoted to the senior choir in church and sooner than I thought I was given the position of a children teacher.
In senior secondary as a mid teen, I was appointed the girls' senior prefect in school and also awarded the best art student due to my writing skills.
The truth is the older I become, the deeper and intentional I become about myself.
I also discovered I loved Athletics as a teenager and was a very good marathoner, which has birthed a whole lot of gifts as well as medals right from my secondary to tertiary. In Athletics I apply my distinct and unique characteristics of decisiveness, persistence with a touch of patience which has never made me take the last position even as a marathoner. I can only manage to be the last person in a race if I decide to shift to Short distance race.
To some, my flexibility and body mass index has given me the ability to do all I do. But, its a NO. I am able to do all that I do by God's special grace,Yeah, least I forget. I AM A CHRISTIAN. I love people who are passionate and intentional about themselves, here are some of them.
Right about now as an adult, I am a student of the faculty of pharmacy, University of Uyo. Here in the faculty, I was a member of the editorial board, an outstanding winning champion in female category Athletes, a member of the editorial board of the faculty christain fellowship.
Currently, I am into millinery work,you can get to see my work at inkhat (A page I write and also present my work as GYPSY K), A writer at HEY magazine and I also make akara for sale. Get to see a little of them here.
As a potential health practioner I have engaged in some health related activities/outreaches that are helpful and will be helpful to me and the society at large and as such earned some good certification.
I am also deliberate about the love I have for the young generation. Last year I have organised street evangelism for the children around my school area, where we shared the word of God, discussed about life and shared food in love.
This is usually an annual activity. Also a home children Bible study teacher where children around and within come together to study the word.
I am passionate about what ever I have in my hands but as determined as I can be, I am only helped by God.
So, next time when we meet you will tell me the part of James, Gift Bassey you would love to meet. Till then, Let's influence together in this space.
Thanks for stopping by to read my introductory post.
For the record, I was invited to hive blockchain by @ddn688 who is still my mentor. It's good to be here.
Byeee.
