Hi bro π€ , I'm so happy for your this new achievement and I'm so glad I'm also a part of it , as I joined you in one of these contests....hehe. So to answer your question I chose this question.
What is the backstory of what brought you to Steem?
So to say that I have to say from the beginning..
So up until last year , I would say my life was okay okay , yeah we had our fair share of problems , financial and medical , especially my parents. But it wasn't a news to me , since I was used to it all.
But then last year , my one and only sister became very I'll , we never knew she had a problem with her brain ( I hope no body knows about this , that's why I have never posted about it , cause I really want to respect her , plus it hurts my heart ) . Yeah , this made all of us very depressed , and then again her medication had a lot of complications , and it was very expensive. All we could do was pray. But the saddest part was , me , I couldn't stop crying , and every time I call home , I will crack jokes and pretend like everything is fine. But I couldn't do it anymore that's how I started blogging here on steemit.
But that was just the tip of the iceberg of my life. We all didn't know that our house was on this big case . And we were losing hard. My grandpa never told my dad . So we all didn't know , and last year was when he told.. it was like many problems all coming at once. Okay so we are going to be homeless ?! That thought made me more depressed , just by the fact that both my parents have been working all their life , and they are not even healthy people , but all for our sake . And now that they even wanted to settle down , we might not even have a place to stay.
So it really depressed me. But again , Everytime I called home , my mom would be all crying so I had to be strong for her. Then came the next problem , my mom got these bleeding throughout the month , it was so hard . And my dad has his problems too. So me , I had to somehow help them out , but I am still in school.
So I decided to do this and make some money to help my family . So that somehow we can survive you know. And also to keep me from going into the dark side. There were many times when I feel really sad , really hopeless , but many people whom I met here have actually helped me alot . To stay alive you know.
God bless you brother.
