Introduction time: Hey there, this is just another human here to introduce herself and join the community.

Hello Hive, hello on here,
I'm Gloria but I very much prefer to be called Schoolgirl. It's what I've always been called. I'm Nigerian, a student of Obafemi Awolowo University. I am a polyglot— A native English speaker, an intermediate-level French speaker, and I dabble in languages like German, Japanese and American Sign.

I am a writer, I write fictional stories; romance, suspense and thrillers, slice of life, crime, sci-fi. Most times I prefer my stories evolve around tragedy or tragicomedy. I am also a poet. They say I talk a lot so I channel my words into writing, if humans complain, papers definitely wont. I love poetry because it makes English more enjoyable. I recently ventured into spoken words and voice acting and they are an interesting lot.

When I was in secondary school, JSS 2, my fine art teacher taught various definitions of art, I never really loved Fine Art because it was stressful and he was a scary teacher, but out of the many definitions, I picked one. "Art is an expression of feelings". Since then, most things I do, my hobbies and way of life go by that definition. It's more like a principle now. It helps me to leave "the box" and explore.

I love cooking, I see it as experiments and each time I'm chanced, I try other methods of cooking. I always want to find out "what happens if I don't follow the set instructions or ingredients that has never been used?" And no, I don't cook rubbish😅.

I love trying out new things, sometimes it's scary but what is life without little fears that breeds excitements? Learning new skills, meeting new people, standing before a new audience, I love challenges and no matter how scary it is, I still face them.
I love sports too!!!🤭🤭 After God, family and dancing, it's sports. From football to basketball, to badminton, to volleyball, I love them all and I play a few too. I love watching anime. It gives me this soothing calm when I'm frustrated or have the kind of headache that paracetamol won't understand.

Sometimes I forget I'm a fashion designer. I love when people bring ideas, are scared that it won't be possible to bring to life and then are wowed by it's possibility. I don't just sew clothes, I design them and give the clothes the ability to speak for themselves.

However, after all said, I am just an introverted girl trying to leave her "hole". I am just human and I hope to settle well in this community. I look forward to every positive thing, opportunities and whatnot that the community has to offer.
Cheers.

We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.Welcome to the Hive community @schoolgirl!

Seven suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, Keychain, Peaklock, and Hivesigner,
  3. The master password and the owner key are only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your password or keys; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own.
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
  7. DO NOT OPEN any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Hiveans available who can help you; you can click to go to The Terminal in Discord here:

Have fun and happy Hiving!
