what is my passion?
what drives me?

Let me tell a short story first, seven years ago, when was about going into the University, I was asked what I would like to study, I said chemical engineering...
Why did I choose chemical engineering? It was because I was so much in love with basic sciences,i wanted to be at the forefront helping the society, solving energy's problem in my society, I wanted to contribute my own quota to the growth of the society... It then became my driving force..

After 3 years in the University, I wanted to expand my expertise, didn't want to be just a chemical engineer, I wanted to be more. I wanted to lend a helping hand in every angle I could, so I went for computer hardware maintenance and repair training.

what motivated me to choose computer maintenance and repair?
In the school environment where I stayed,almost everybody had a laptop and just like other electronic devices, they do developed fault demanding repairs,but the repair fees were too exhorbitant. Being that most of them were indigent students,repairing their laptops which was so essential in school means going hungry for some days or cutting down the number of times they eat or eating substandard food at their own detriment. I had to intervene.
After my training period, I started first with fixing some faults on my own HP 15 laptop, when they saw how competent I was,they had confidence in me and I became the sole computer technician in my yard...
Due to their financial capabilities, most times,i fix their laptops free of charge. The joy and satisfaction on their faces was enough payment for me.
The joy in putting a smile on someone's face is unexplainable

A year to my graduation, precisely 2016, I had some of my juniors in school who confided in me (what made them confide in me,?..... I don't know!!). They told me horrible stories of what they are passing through in their families, communities and even among their peers. Sometimes I shed uncontrollable tears for them. I tried encouraging them in the little way I could and they were somehow relieved but the burden of their stories really hurt my soul... This pushed me into writing.....
@rexdickson's work on facebook was a push for me,so I started writing poems offline. I'll just write them in my diary and read them every morning, every poem I read pushed me into writing another.

When I joined steemit, the motivation tentupled. I started posting some of my poems. Most of my poems can be read in my blog @sammynathaniels.

So I can now say that the things that drive me are
1. The will to be a source of inspiration to others.
2. The will to be the reason for someone's smile and lending a helping hand when and where I'm needed

And my passion is writing and fixing problems both emotional and material

The last peom I wrote called Brave heart talked about being brave and strong in the midst of pains... My protege inspired me to write that poem... You can read it .here
