Hello everyone, I'm happy to be part of this big Family.
My, Oh My! I was intrigued. I was innocently and passionately interested.
When @Immaculate50 introduced this platform to me.
How come I have never heard of it? It is not widely known, I guessed.
How many people are on the platform?
A thousand?!
A million?!
He said, maybe A million.
By the way, my name is Israel.
I hail from Oyo state, Nigeria. A west African country.
I'm a microbiology student in one of the prestigious University. Adekunle Ajasin University Akungba-Akoko (AAUA) Ondo state, Nigeria.
I specialize in Parasitology, medical microbiology, biology and chemistry.
I am a mobile photographer, movie lover, music addict, a writer (both fiction and non-fiction)
Currently, we are on strike, 6-months and still counting.
It's disheartening, gaining Admission was hell of a job for me.
Also to graduate with a first class in my Country is a tough job. (Not going into full details)
Prior to gaining Admission I had a paradigm shift.
I found myself constantly in this thought...
"Why have we been programmed that getting a college (University) degree is a must to getting successful in life (I'm not saying getting a university degree is bad, it surely has its advantages).
It has become a stereotype.
Our parents that were raised in the "Industrial age" has forgotten this is "Information and Computer age" because they will definitely disown me (Lols) if I submit to them that I don't want to go to College (University).
I started thinking outside the box and I began to make important and life changing decisions (More to come later).
During this period, I came across Hive Blog, thanks to @Immaculate50 who introduced me to this big Family.
I got interested in a platform where I can network with like-minded individuals.
I see it as a platform to develop and share my thoughts, life's work,ideas, problems I want to solve and give out value and hook up with great minds, at the same time get financial returns (smiles).
I am a beginner and does not know everything about Hive Blog, so I'm open to learning and advice.
I hope I get a warm reception.
Shout out to the creators, moderator and admin of this big Family of value.
God bless you for the opportunity
I can't wait to dive into this Ocean of great opportunities.
Thank You.
