A minnow is usually a very tiny fish which is less than the length of an adult's palm as seen from the picture. The insignificant nature of minnows makes it difficult for their contributions to be felt by dolphins and whales. Although I have no much knowledge about aquaculture, I have learnt from discussions with knowlegeable persons in that field, that fishermen usually throw back the minnows trapped in their net into the water.
The Adopt a minnow concept was conceived by 
Hive account@whatsup and given successful delivery by 
Hive account@brandyb. This interesting feat was put in place to help minnows in a steemit sense to bring out their best and may be become dolphins sooner than expected. I am very happy for their concern as I believe that will help to a great length.

THIS APPLICATION IS FOR ADOPTION BY 
Hive account@topkpop
I was drawn to apply for adoption by Hive account@topkpop after I read her willingness to adopt a minnow from Hive account@whatsup post, coupled with her selfless service with 
Hive account@thealliance project. However, I see myself as a far cry from her requirements for a minnow adoption but one of the hobbies I have is not to GIVE UP. Hence, I wish to apply for adoption by Hive account@topkpop and others who will be willing to build something from nothing.
WHY ADOPT ME:
Sincerely, I feel I have been given a great opportunity by 
Hive account@theheralds for introducing me to Steemit because I am shy most times in public, although I can be very fun to be with attimes. Haha. The Steemit community has given me a door of endless possibilities to associate with human capacity builders like 
Hive account@adonisabril on whose blog I learnt how to be more fruitful with my comments, 
Hive account@motoengineer whom I learnt the need to speak out in an organizational setting, 
Hive account@polebird my steemitcrush, haha, from who I learn from her resilience in pursuit of her carrier in poledance, 
Hive account@karensuestudios, who her challenge with her sister Hive account@polebird showed me how having fun can be rewarding, 
Hive account@rymlen who motiva
tional quotes lifts my spirit each day. The list is endless but to cut it short, I will love to be little of a lot of persons here.
How I Will Be a Supportive Minnow:
One of the things that seems to discourage me from making a post most times here is that as a minnow, my post gets little or no attention. As Hive account@whatsup will put it in one of his posts, the minnows don't get the right attention on the trending feed despite the nice ideas they may have. Thus, I will like to work towards ensuring that nice ideas by other minnows gets the needed reward for their post. I remember 
Hive account@erodedthoughts boosting of my post on a contest and I wish to imitate him on that and replicate it if I have the means to do it. I like assisting people to climb the ladder to their success by giving suggestions to what I feel may give them an apian way to a rather long distance. I can be very selfsacrificing to teach or listen to a tired soul too.
HOW CREATIVE ARE YOU?
I will like to answer that based on my perception of creativity. The ability to turn sand, water, cement and some iron rods into skyscrapers is creativity, the ability to draw is creativity, using any given word or group of words to form music (my kid sister 
Hive account@nellyprecy can relate to this in our childhood days, haha) is creativity and lots more. I am of the believe that everyone has something to offer, we can either help them by drawing out their creativity or we teach them to be creative.
I have a confession to make, that is, creativity in line with your requirements elude me but I have interest in video making and song writing.
WRITE A LITTLE BLURB ABOUT SOMEONE YOU FOLLOW:
Last week I had the opportunity to take part in 
Hive account@ramengirl contest to celebrate her 3000 followers status with the hashtag #steemitcrush, I wrote about Hive account@polebird my steemitcrush for her hardwork in poledance and acrobatics and passion but for the purpose of this post, I want to discuss her sister Hive account@karensuestudios.
The thing that interest me about Hive account@karensuestudios is her ability to create fun out of little things as seen from her olympic challenge with Hive account@polebird. Also, Hive account@karensuestudios recently embarked on asia tour with 
Hive account@threebagsfull, 
Hive account@acromot and others, to meet with other steemians across the Asian continent. Her ability to mingle and adopt to the local cultures in each province interest me so much. She even went to the extent of drinking coconut juice, something she has promised herself to drink a lot before the end of her tour, haha.
Hive account@karensuestudios also used her tour to visit some local massage house in Thailand and she was intrigued by one of them, Lila Thai massage house, because of the nature of individuals they employ there. Lila Thai massage house acxording to Hive account@karensuestudios gives opportunity to exconvicts thereby helping them to earn a living and stay away from crime. I was very touched by that because of the willinigness of Lila Thai massage to give second chance to such ones, and I want to thank Hive account@karensuestudios for the support she gave them too.
VOTE OF THANKS:
I am very thankful to Hive account@whatsup for coming up with the #adoptaminnow idea, I thank Hive account@topkpop for the opportunity she gave me to write an application for the adoption. I owe a lot to 
Hive account@karensuestidios and Hive account@polebird for being awesome people. I will not fail to thank 
Hive account@katrina-ariel for her post too because I got inspired by her format of application.
I LOVE YOU ALL
