Hi, my fellow steemians. Best wishes in the day and have a wonderful week ahead. I want to appreciate the contest organizer. Thank you @sduttaskitchen for the contest.
Do you believe dedication depends on determination?How?
Let's see dedication as an effort by someone to carry out a task that is important. And determination is to strive to carry out a task.even in a difficult situation.
Yes, I did believed dedication depends on determination is because if someone has a task so serious to perform he can achieve it`` through determination.
Once one is determined to do something and he is dedicated in doing it. he will excel.
How can we increase our dedication to definite determination? Describe.
By increasing our dedication to definite determination is to have courage and resilience. Having courage and resilience in all we do at any point and time will go a long way to increase dedication.
You can share your challenging stories( both in your personal and professional life) to justify the term.
As a rational human being, there are challenging stories. I was born into a less privileged, poor and illiterate family.
We are family of thirteen and a polygamy and I am the fifth born on the side of my mother. The idealoggies of our parents is that not all the children will go to school,for some will stay back and help in farming to support the other ones.
In addition to the level of poverty of my parents I was a victim and I was denied being schooled.
All efforts to allow me proved fruitless.
When I grew to some age where I could make some rational decisions I went to primary school on my own, yet my father will go to my class and drove me out, to the point I was denying meals at home.
I have no option but to bow to their pressure. But because I have a passion for Western education, I lobbied my brothers who were in school to teach me how to read and write.
This was how I continued, and I was lucky, adult education was introduced and moreover, it used to be held in the evening, I then enrolled myself, and that was how I was able to read and write in addition to the efforts of my brothers with me. I did that after returning from the farm.
I managed and obtained a certificate as an adult then. I later sat for the common entrance examination which ushered me to secondary school and sponsored myself with the little resources I was able to gather.
I graduated from secondary school while my aged brackets graduated from the universities and secured jobs already
Because of the zeal I have for Western education, I applied and secured admission into the Polytechnic but with tears, and some of my aged brackets who were already working assisted me throughout my program.
I went into the labor market,it took another seven years for me to be engaged, and that's where I am today.
I read a professional course at the Polytechnic and I found it difficult to practice my profession when I was in the labor market because I was not buoyant enough to register and proceed with the professional examination.
The more time I delayed the more the registration fees increased. When I was engaged, I found it a bit difficult to proceed with it because I began to face family problems.
I managed to write the first part of the examination but couldn't proceed with the last stage which will qualify me to have a practicing seal.
So far, this is the stage I am currently in.
Do you have any suggestions for newbies who want to be successful on Steemit? Please share (if any).
Yes, I have one newbie who wants to be successful in Steemit. However the necessary gadgets to help him out are not available, and he is in a wheel chair because of the spinal cord injury he had.
In a nutshell, like any other rational human being, I faced some of these challenges of being denied Western education because of my parents' ideologies that it is not every child that must go to school, some children must stay back and farm to support the ones in schools.
And for success in Steemit, there is a physically challenged friend who wants to go into it but can't.
This is my story for the week and I would like to invite @vickyson @josepha and @dave-hanny to join the contest.
