#untalented-adjustments: Amazing Adjustments that have happened in my life since I joined steemit

Hey steemians
I really want to appreciate my friend @jaff8 for introducing me to this awesome community, I have enjoyed every bit of it and amazing changes have occurred in my life due to this.
I also want to sincerely appreciate our Baba Terry @surpassinggoogle for giving me the opportunity to share with the community the amazing and wonderful things that have taken place in my life since I joined in. God bless you.

my story

One sunny day my very good friend @jaff8 came to my room at school and told me about a platform that rewards authors for posting creative and quality content. At first I didn’t believe because I had lost a good sum of money online to Ponzi schemes so I didn’t even bother to take a look at the website not until when he came back a few weeks to tell me of how he made N11,000 from selling the platforms currency, SBD, online. Then I decided to join in the first week of November 2017 and since then my life has changed for good.

Amazing Adjustments

• Before I joined the steemit community one thing was very sure, I had no money. As a photographer, student, bassist and an elder brother to four siblings I really needed money to attend to the various areas of my life needing monetary attention. I needed money to procure equipment for my photography but then I lost most of my money to fraudulent people online so I was really broke and I had no means of financing my photography projects but after I got my first @curie upvote on a really quality post I authored my November and December changed. I was able to get a new hard drive to accommodate more pictures from my work, get a new phone to always be online on steemit 24/7, repair my broken computer and also pay for my sibling’s tuition fee at school, get new clothes and also celebrate Christmas and the new year in a grand style. December was fun!
  
  
  

• Before I joined steemit I was quite lazy when it came to putting my brain to work but now my creativity has improved 100%. I now put my brain to good use as I am no longer idle and no longer waste my time online because I now spend my time thinking about creative and quality contents to share on steemit. My writing skills have also improved too as I now write better articles and author quality posts. I have even learnt new words from the ton of articles I see on steemit every day and most of all I am now a better thinker.

• Steemit has changed my social life as I now socialize better especially here on steemit. I have joined so many groups on discord and steemchat where I meet new people every day and share quality ideas with them. I have amassed a huge amount of knowledge due to the tons of information I absorb everyday on steemit.

• I am now better at business due to the business ideas I get here on steemit especially when it comes to the buying and selling of cryptocurencies.

• One very important adjustment that has taken place in my life is that I am now better at helping people. I and my friends @jaff8 @omonosa @hboi and @fona created a whatsapp group for steemians here in Benin-city, Nigeria. Here we help new steemians find their way around the community to make their journey here easier for them.
  
  
  

We reply tons of messages everyday giving answers to their various questions. I even help with my photography skills by providing them with pictures for posts. I even went as far as teaching some of them how to use a camera so they can always use my camera to take picture for their articles or posts. I gave them the Lightroom and photoshop software to also edit these photos to make them more appealing. Below is a screenshot of the whatsapp group which currently has 35 participants.

We are growing every day and we intend to increase further just like @ejemai is doing too. Three members of this group have become successful authors since they joined, they are @druids @earthangel and the singer @yourmercury.
This is pretty much what has happened since I joined this great community and all the thanks still go to @jaff8 for bringing me here. Once again thank you @surpassinggoogle for giving us this opportunity to share our joy with the community. We would continue to spread the word about steemit here in Benin till all the youths are engaged with it. Steemit is the future!!!.
Thanks for reading. All images here are my original works.
