Holla Steemit world, I'm actually very thrilled right now righting my first ever post here! This is my story. I am Hamza Don Adin and i can't tell myself from right to left so my sister taught me a trick, if i bless myself, so i automatically use my right hand. But don't worry i'm not a crazy religious nut, I'm just trying to figure out which is my right hand. Anyways, as i had said earlier , My name is Hamza which means "The Great Martyr", sounds exciting right? Basically growing up with my Grandparents in my 20 years of existence had never been easy. Yes since i was a baby my grandparents had raised me. My parents were working far away and the only choice they have was to leave me in my grandparents house.
That is me when i was 4. Going back to my story Yes my grandparents became my primary parents. Their unconditional love and support was effortless. I have learned so much from them. My Lolo and Lola has taught me what handwork, determination, perseverance, self confidence and never losing hope actually means.
These are my grandparents. <3
Realizing and thinking how amazing God is and how drastically life can change in just a course of a year.
But life is not perfect as it seem to be. I grew up realizing i don't have the best of both world.I was a happy child: I had the undivided love and attention of two people, and it made me very confident and secure. But one of the things is that i'm a little insecure growing up because primarily i don't have my parents with me. There are a times i felt terror and absolutely powerless and hopelessness. i hated School events where you need to bring yours parents with you. I even cried a lot of times. but my grandparents and my aunts were always there for me. They want to make every day they spent extra special. I grew up having this feeling of urgency of being courageous. I have this mindset of mine telling me all the time "be brave, nobody is there for you. so stand up" It was a revelation because it made me realise that other people felt many of the same things.
throughout the course of my doubts, my family and friends never left by my side. I always remind myself to face my fears and doubts, and good things will come.
Indeed, with the faith in God and love and support i always received i overcome one of the darkest moment of my life. Everything starts when you believe you can. Things are always possible. Do it with your full enthusiasm. I overcome my shyness, fears and mostly my insecurities and I am very much thankful for that.
Sorry for so much drama but at least i'm real.
So this is me at present, so you will have an idea of what i look like Physically :)
I'm 20 years old now and just celebrated my birthday last Friday. THANK YOU LORD for that.
Currently i'm on my 3rd year course taking up Bachelor in Arts Major in History. My interest include Archeology, Geography, Literature. And to tell you honestly i'm more on like the geek or the book nerd like :)
I consider myself a good public speaker, and I have a good sense of humor. I am an animal lover specially dogs, (man's BFF)
Also i am a die hard fan of american reality shows like Survivor, The Amazing race , Etc. I could just lay all day in my bed watching these shows. I also love to watch horror or any cult movie and series. I just love to feel that little anxiety or tension while watching.
I love to write as well , probably one of the reasons i got here is because of My writing as hobby. It gives and provides an avenue for my thoughts and experiences. It is great exercise for me to clear my mind and thoughts.
My strengths as an individual i can say is being optimistic and responsible. Me being positive all the time has gien me all the strength and happiness.When challenges come our way, it may be easy to succumb to negative thoughts but it is always important to be positive and think on a brighter side of it.
I guess i had talked a lot , i hope you enjoy my first post and know a little side of my personality. :)
