Minnow Of The Week: The Birth of a social entrpreneur

I want to specially thank @runicar for this great opportunity to be rewarded on steemit. He has given a voice to minnows like me. Thank you!
MY STEEMIT JOURNEY
I started my steemit journey on the 23rd of December 2017 after a friend @vwovwe showed me proof of his withdrawal. Prior to this, I always saw steemit as a ponzi scheme and never gave it a second chance at a first impression. You won't blame me, I lost a good amount of money in Ponzis.
My research into the workings of steemit further fueled my love for it. I saw posts of someone paying the school fees of another student through earnings on steemit and I was wowed! I made up my mind to also use the community for the best philanthropic cause. My goal is to empower persons with disability with part of the proceeds from steemit. I already started with one person and I will give a full report in due course.
My journey so far has been amazing, I bless God for an awesome community like this!!

INTRODUCING MYSELF
My name is Emmanuel Akpe. A passionate business fellow from Nigeria with a mind for business and a heart for the world. I am a SAGE and ENACTUS global alumnus. When you don't see me on steemit, I am quietly devouring a book in 'one corner'.
That's it, thanks @runicar for this opportunity!
