My name is Olivia, and i am an independent woman, i hate talking about my past and how i started because it makes me cry, people never believed i could do something meaningful in my life, it made me to become very inferior, i hardly talk most of the time, I'm a very shy person, growing up has been quite challenging.
I come from a middle class home, first daughter in a family of 8 then, now 7, 2 boys, 3 girls and our parents. yes we were comfortable with what we had, my dad was in the movie industry, he produced films and he also markets them, but his business Crashed enormously in the year 2008, we fell from grace to grass, it was really very bad, i was about sitting for my senior school certificate exams when it happened, before I knew what was happening, my dad had sold all his properties, to settle his debts, our landlord gave us a quit notice, we had to go back to the village, my elder brother, a very brilliant guy, suddenly fell very sick, and dropped out of school, my immediate younger sister fell inside a very deep well in my village and died, all my dad's friends in the industry turned their back on us, jeeeez, it was like magic, i could see everything falling apart, my parents almost separated.
Going to school is not really my thing, i loved sports and computers a lot, i wanted to go into sports but my parents refused, (i always respect their decisions), they said i must go to the university, no matter what has happened, i gained admission on merit in college and it has been quite stressful, i still engaged my self in sporting activities to keep fit, and i always browse, i enjoyed finding information via Google search engine, i spend most of my time browsing the internet, without my conscience, my dad kept selling all his properties to make sure he paid my first year school fees, after my first year, i started loving school, i thanked God my parents did not allow me to go for sports instead, when i came back home for a break after my first year in school, my dad called me and told me that he can't continue, that was when i realized what was happening, i cried a lot because i am just a woman and i have been made to understand that women don't have a say most times, my dad's words did not stop me, i remembered my favorite Indian movie "3 idiots", i placed my hand on my chest while crying on my pillow and said "all is well". i can't believe what happened next...
I went to Google search engine and typed "how to be successful" (laughs), well i read through most articles i found online and was quickly motivated, i instantly started thinking about the things i loved doing, i realized i loved browsing or staying online always, i love sports, dancing, singing, playing online games and competing strongly, I'm also into photography, i do electrical works by repairing extensions, sockets, fans, etc, i was amazed by my talents because one of my most challenging problem is that people don't believe i can do anything, maybe because i'm small.... i always feel intimidated... (sad face)... i have to cut this story short, maybe i'll continue with it later...
It is an online game contest which lasted for 5 weeks, 2 people with high scores emerge every week as winners, i am the final week's winner... Are you confused??? Dont be, i will clarify more on my next posts.... Wanna know what's next???... Watch this space
