Hello!!! OCD Community, I'm so happy to be a part of this community and I hope I'm very much welcome here. Words won't be enough to describe how happy I am to be a part of this community and its my greatest desire and prayers that enjoy every bit of my stay here.
Humans are the of the best creations on earth and describing myself by writing is a way for me to express what I see, experience and plan for my life.
I am Dennis Essien by name , I come from a middle-class family in the South Southern part of Nigeria, Akwa Ibom State to be precise.
It's know to alot of persons that nobody enters this world alone; so therefore he or she was born into one family or the other.
I'm from a family of 6 including my mum and dad. I'm the youngest of all and I always try my best to be well behaved and respectful amongst my siblings for being the youngest in the family.
My Educational Background
I recently completed my degree program in Quantity Surveying from the University Of Uyo ,Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. I'm currently preparing to leave for my National Youth Service Corps program. The Nigerian government established the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) during the military era to engage Nigerian graduates in nation-building and the development of the nation. In Nigeria, there is no mandatory military service; nevertheless, since 1973, polytechnic and university graduates have been expected to participate in the National Youth Service Corps program for a year.This is referred to as the national service year.

My Hobbies
My hobbies are, play the piano ,making new friends/ discoveries and most especially drawing. Drawing is a talent I was born with and it something I cherish alot as I derive joy and happiness each time I find myself doing it. Drawing is something over the years that I've invested all my time and effort in just so grow and so far I've been able to spot out series of imprisonment as I progress.

My parents' upbringing over the years has had a significant impact on my habits and how I relate with everyone around me. In the world we're today, it takes alot of effort for one to be truthful with his or her dealing with others and also expressing the truth at all times which is a habit my parents embellished in me all through my up bringing. I make effort at all times not to lie and always convey the truth as I see it. My parents have always told me that I should own up to my mistakes. The truth is that , it has never been easy but I always make an effort to accomplish that at all times. I am aware of how to be thankful to God in any circumstance I find myself as it is just a phase of life and surely it would pass after a while. I try my best to stay happy as all times since I really think that "Happiness is not outside of you; it is within you."
Along with these, I enjoy seeing educative movies as well as a few entertaining shows and publications that contain various inspirational stories as they gave me a valuable moral lesson to draw from
All of these serve to define who I am. Living life fully and focusing on doing nice deeds for other people is how it should be done.
