When we meet people for the first time, we always ask that they tell us about themselves. We could learn about them along the way but asking at the initial stage of familiarity is necessary so we know what we are going into and know if our goals and values align.
Hey everyone, I'm new here on Hive and I would like to give you a glimpse of my personality and the kind of content to expect from me on this platform. Thanks to for encouraging me to step up and share my knowledge here.
About Myself
My name is Achenyo. It's an Igala (a Nigerian tribe from Kogi state) native name which means goodness. If pronouncing Achenyo would be a hassle, you can just call me Goodness. I live and school here in Nigeria. I'm a freelance writer of storytelling. I've been writing and telling stories since I could remember myself. I remember vividly those nights when I would sit my younger brothers down and tell them stories.
Writing makes me feel safe, it makes me happy, and it gives me fulfillment.
Another thing I enjoy besides writing is reading books. I love how words form beautiful stories, and amazing people and stir emotions in me. I think writers are superheroes. One of my favorite writers is Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Akwaeze Emezi, Chimeka Garricks, V.E Schwab, and Khaled Hosseini.
My Personality
If I was asked to describe my personality, I would say simple, bubbly, jovial, spontaneous, and bright. I'm an extrovert and I love people. I enjoy being around people, talking, playing, and sharing ideas. I'm a social person but my circle is small because I'm too lazy to keep tabs on so many people and also because I prefer it that way.
One of my toxic traits is procrastination. I think I deserve a medal for being the best. If there's no looming deadline, rest assured that I'm not getting the work done. I tend to leave everything for the last minute. In my defense, I work better under pressure. Still, not an excuse and I'm working on doing things when they should be done.
If money wasn't a problem and I could pick any profession, I would be a writer and teacher. I read wide and far and I happen to have a vast knowledge of several things. I've never been stingy with my knowledge that's why I find happiness in sharing them with people of any age group, the young, middle-aged, and old. I have three young siblings so teaching is something I've been doing for a long time.
My Plans On Hive
Here on Hive, I plan to combine my love for writing and teaching and make something beautiful out of it. I would be sharing life experiences, stories and lessons, and anything I learn along the way.
I look forward to having the time of my life here and hope you all enjoy my posts and support me. It's nice to be here and I look forward to forming a strong community and meeting like minds. Feel free to tell me how I can thrive well in this community. It would be very much appreciated. It's a pleasure to meet you all.
