A journey of thousands of miles start from somewhere and it takes courage to do what people think you can't. I could remember when my neighbors would said that am of no value just because I failed my senior secondary school examination (waec) then. Am not trying to compared or distinguished this situation I am today with my past.
But for easy understanding of my true story that why I would say those that make jest of me then, where are they today, it started like burning flames at one evening when is about four months after I wrote my SS3 exam. I saw a kid that evening very close to our neighborhood trying to draw something and I sat down with her looking at her hoping she is performing miracle in my presence.
As she continued to draw the stuff, I was eager to take it from her, with time she was able to finished the drawing but to me I was not satisfied with the ending part of the picture. So I decided to take it from her and clean the portion I felt it was not good enough for me. It was my first experience of drawing pictorial effect. After days, I was told that someone came to check me while am not around.
I was summoned by the parent of the girl I help to draw and she was given another stuff to draw. It show that the first diagram drawn was ok by his teacher. So I draw it again for her and am now helping the girl all time when it come to her drawing. To my surprise, one Sunday morning the girl brought her daddy to our compound to express their gratitude over what I have been doing for their kid.
That was where the daddy girl asked that do I know how to operate computer. I respond to him that no, he said he knew about one program that is called corel drawing package on computer which help you to design many stuff like greeting card, invitation card, plastic I'd card.
I was amazed when I heard of that package but at the back of my mind, I was tellimg myself who will pay for this one this man is talking about. After many discussion went on, the man told to come with him that a good friend of him runs a printing press. That I should not worry over what he would ask from me. What triggered my attention towards learning corel draw is the ability and access to computer that I would get.
