Hello Steemit, my name is Kakra Detome. I never thought i would be able to muster the courage to be able to write this but here i am. I got to find out about Steemit by Craig Grant, a youtuber who normally has videos about bouncehouses and crypto currency(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCEVzoj5KQAZBmuHWH1GM1Q).
I come from Ghana, West Africa. An Awesome place so make it a point to go visit there soon enough or else
I'll look for you ...,
... and i'll Spank you haha.
I came to America almost five years ago, this September, to pursue my education and i currently i'm a Computer Science major at Southern Connecticut State University(http://southernct.edu/). I love it :)
I'm a twin who likes to design and program things on the web. I've been fascinated by technology ever since i was a kid. I get a thrill and a sense of accomplishment every time i create something and see it in action. I feel pumped like Stewie haha
Oh and I'm also a handsome cookie ;) Check my innocent face out Haha
Just kidding. Don't mind me Haha.
I major in Computer Science at Southern Connecticut State University(http://southernct.edu/) and love anything that has to do with programming and Web Development. Well anything with technology i should say. I try to involve myself with technology as a whole telling people about it and trying to get them know that it's fun to do so they should get on board. Girls especially feel it's a male dominated field so they get intimidated But NO NO NO it's not. Anyone can do it. So girls, get your geek on :)
Sad :(
One of my latest projects has been been to join hands with the Computer Science department at Southern Connecticut State University(http://southernct.edu/) and organize a hackathon for middle school female kids to create excitement to girls to get into Computer science.
These were the mentors, and i was one of them :D
I was pumped again like stewie haha.
Anyway. I love Programming and i know to a very reasonable extent languages like html/5, css/3, javascript, jquery, java, php, sql, a bit of c++ and some objective c. I'm working on a youtube channel(https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEcMq-4mBjvb0wPTTTwymxw) this summer to try to solve all the programming challenges in this book(Starting out with java from control structures through objects by Tony Gaddis) to help both myself and others. If it can help even one person, i'll be very happy :), so check it out if you're interested. You should or else ...
... again, and i'll Spank you one more time. Haha.
Well with regards to pictures in Africa, Ghana, by the way i'm going to visit every one God willing this Christmas so i'm very pumped for that one too like stewie :) Yeah pictures ..
This is me at my sisters wedding :)
Handsome cookie right ;) lol
This is a picture of my family. My late mom(in the beautiful multicolored clothe called kente), my two sisters(One in red and the one married in white), one of my sisters husband(the taller male) and my twin brother(far right). And me(the handsome cookie) ;) lol on the far left.
That's all i can think of for now. I hope it at least put a smile on your face. Looking forward to knowing you all more. Thank you everyone for reading this and thank you Steemit :) <3
wellcome
Thank you :)
Feels like I just got to know you very well, after communicating for these past months on youtube, I am happy how the steemit platform is enabling me to get to my youtube friends better
I'm very glad. I feel very close to you already Craig. You're a great personality and i've learnt a lot from you. Thank you for all the positive bright light you shined in all of our lives. Believe it or not, you have. Your singing, your way of life, your ups and downs, your risks you take, your family, your perception of life, i can't even mention it, your craziness in your videos and i'm sure your life too and how free you always try to live your life. Basically everything about you is full of bright light and that's great. Keep up that spirit. God bless :) ... "Like pasta sauce and sphagetti" That song is marvellous and i love it, always :) By the waaaaay the price of steemit keeps going kakakakakakabooooooooom ! :) Take care Craig :)
I read this comment like 3 times, and my eyes water
Awww wow such a warm heart. No please don't cry haha. You are a very awesome person Craig. Much Love :) My prayer is that i experience more of your bright light. Thank you again for everything :)
Even if all crypto fails tomorrow, the fun ride and all the experience will always always always be worth it and i'll be proud of it :)
Handsome cookie, my ass! That first picture looks like you, at the police station, after refusing to spit out the pot-brownies (lol). Welcome.
Hahahaha. You know I couldn't help it, those cookies were soooo gooood. Hahaha thank you 😊👍🏾
I upvoted you.
Thank you :)
Glad to see you have joined the steemit community. You will be a welcomed addition for sure. You have quite the personality and I look forward to meeting you one day in the slack. Here is a resource respository you may find helpful, a lot of the best posters on steemit have contributed articles here: https://steemit.com/wikiversity/@boardwalk-steem/lets-start-a-steemit-resource-repository
Thank you so much. I didn't know about the resource repository. I'm taking a look at all the articles now and they're golden. Steem really has a lot under his sleeves. That picture of citadels library is really good :) How do i get an invite from steems slack? Thank you :)
Welcome to your new home. :)
Thank you very much Sir :)
Welcome to the Steemit family!! Great post:)
I'm glad. Thank you very much.
Hi Kakra,
I read your post and liked it and up voted it. Welcome to steemit, I am new to steemit and believe that steemit will be bigger than facebook one day. I would love to talk to you about an idea I have for a steemit app....I am not a programmer or developer, I think I missed my calling with that but maybe you or someone you know can help with the idea. Thanks and Happy New Year to you!
