This is my first entry to 
**Joining steemit was the best decision I made in 2017.
MY LIFE BEFORE I FOUND STEEMIT
Talking of the present without making any reference to the past will make one success story incomplete and uninteresting.
Yeah! I was living an awkward life before i came about steemit. The life i was living then was nothing but a waste! Are we to talk of the time I engaged myself in ponzi scheme or when I was into betting?
I have always been thinking of stuffs I can do online which will keep me busy, doing what I like and surely give me something back in return. Even though I did see, but almost all of those things I found myself doing then wasted my precious time and even take away my money.
I was once a fan of bet9ja. I spent almost everything I have on betting which in turn gives little or no return.
I can even remember a time I invested half of my monthly allowance in school into ponzi schemes and everyrhing got lost , nothing in return!!! I waited still having hope that very soon they would pay but all to no avail. It was painful though, since I already exhausted all the money in my bank account and I had no choice but to starve myself throughout the month. Tough times!
HOW I CAME ABOUT STEEMIT
I have been hearing of some sites where you can work online and earn but most of them wasted my time, like I said; at the end of the day, it wouldn't be possible for one to withdraw or make use of the hard earned money. I was tired of everything!
Let the story begins;
I heard about steemit last year(2017) december when I came back from school for holiday at home.
It was that fateful sunday after sunday school, our sunday school teacher asked a question that apart from all these church activities, what can we as a youth be doing that will give us something in return? Everybody, including me gave some awesome answers, but the one I held on to was that very answer from 
He said steemit!!! I was like steemit? I started making enquiries about it and he gave some nice answers.
After hearing from him, i went straight to my phone browser and search for steemit from which I learnt it's a social network that gets its members paid from their creativity, intelligence and tenacity. I was like wow! Just like that? So on getting home that same day, I quickly registered for it to be among the lucky people. Fortunately, within a week my account was approved and i started blogging.
The first week I couldn't make any upvotes on my post, damn!!! This happened through the second week, then I informed
Hmm, I heeded to his advice and continue doing what he asked me to be doing. After the third week things started turning out for good.
MY LIFE AFTER I CAME ABOUT STEEMIT
With the little time I've spent here on steemit, i can point out that these are the good things I have been able to use the money realized from it for, i'm grateful. In my previous post with the link ;(https://steemit.com/photography/@acheever/all-about-yesterday), I included a note, which reads; "Thanks to steemit for making this possible"
To be sincere, I never thought of going out with my friends to explore my country, even my state!!! But through steemit it was made possible!
I always have the peace of mind that there is always a place to run to when things are not going well and that is steemit.
I will forever be grateful to 
A common saying says one person gives birth to a child but other people in the society nurture him along with his/her parents. For this, I am also grateful to 
HOLD ON, IT'S YOUR TURN...
