Hi! It's my INTRODUCTION POST. GOT A PENCIL STUCKED IN MY LEFT EYE. IT ALMOST MADE ME BLIND!

Hi!

So I am sixteen days old on Steemit but I have not really done a proper introduction of myself. This is a story I have always wanted to share.
Interestingly in the past ten days I have been in the #dolphinschool. Its been an amazing journey as I have learned a lot about Steemit, blogging and writing. You might want to check out @dolphinschool and @markrmorrisjr.

Introductions are coated with boring stuffs which are never the less necessary so I decided to add another layer. I would not expect you to laugh or cry, yeah you can empathize. I would love that but most importantly learn!

I am writing a series currently on bullying supporting me would mean a lot as proceeds would actually be going to my audience! Read it here

Can you beat that?

Sure you can beat that!

I am @donjyde though beyond here I could also be addressed as AFOLAGBADE OLAJIDE. Its a native name you know. I am from Africa, the western part of it. Nigeria!

One more thing its important you know I love to write with a great zeal for poetry plus I so much love what Jesus did on the cross and how he resurrected on the third day that I might have life. I believe!

So that's it for the introduction.

C'mon wont you ask me about the story in the title?

Yeah it was a true one.

I was ten years old and in my final year in elementary school. As usual Mum dropped me off at school with smiles and hugs. I took my lunch box and proceeded to class just before the bell rang for assembly. It was towards the end of the school session and everyday we bragged to our juniors how we were leaving them behind to go to a secondary school. I always wanted to be an Engineer. It was a dream.

Am I boring? FORGIVE ME!

Third period came and my school proprietress called for an emergency meeting of all teachers. So suddenly we became free. That was an incentive to play. And yes play we did.

Here comes the sad part!
I asked a friend to help me with his pencil, I needed to quickly work on something in my math book so I could be free to play with others.

He was obviously in the throes of his playfulness and could not come over. I practically had to scream him into hearing me call him then he...

He threw it!

I was no David De Gea and it did hit my left eye.

That was the beginning of a long medical journey that could have ruined my Engineering dream but it did not.

I learnt forgiveness a lot through this period as the family of the boy refused to take on responsibility especially for my growing medical needs.

I later came to forgive them when I found the sweetness of God's love and how unconditional it is. I feel privileged.
That's my story.

Do you have anyone whom you will never forgive?

My advise: Forgive!

Whats your unforgiving story?
