My first adjustment for my appearance, I worked on my look
Hey my name is Joshua abiye am a student at the University of Benin nigeria. I was introduced to steemit by @tikhub November 2017, before I came to steemit I was struggling with life. Life felt meaningless, I thought their was no hope any more, a lot of negative taught came through my mind, i was totally losing it(mentally and emotionally).
In 2016 I had so many plans and expectation, that year was very fruitful for me, money was coming from both side, I had earlier planned on getting a car and setting up a business for my self, later the line I was introduced to "mmm" I had seen and heard so many testimony about it and decided to give it a try... I started with a little amount and then proceed to a very big sum of money with even much greater expectations ,I had planned on how I was going to spend the money only for me to learn my first lesson about life, that good things never last forever and money does not come that easy.... Funny to say I gamble everything and I lost heavily, I was totally empty, penniless, broke, and depressed.
Still sad and depressed, a friend of mine @tikhub told me there is a site where I can make money from writing and commenting on content. I declined because I have signed up with some money making sites (ponzi) and after working, money does not come out or the site and along the line I will be fraud and that has discouraged me.
Amazing adjustment on steemit so far - I supported my family
He begged me for hours and forced me to give it a try and said this was different from other websites, still I was not convinced, but after much hour's of pleaded, I decided to give it a try.... I signed in and after a day of registration the verification link came and for days I didnt verify not until one morning I heard that @tikhub has hit it big on steemit, I was shocked and surprised and I then realized it was Real!!!, immediately I verified my account and started commenting and upvoting on steemit before I made my first post and till date, it still looks like a dream come through.
ADJUSTMENTS FOR ME SO FAR.
When I got my first payout, my life changed completely, I have been able to help myself financially at school.
I started up my poultry farm
- I changed my looks and my wardrobe
I have been able to support my family.
Along the line I have been able to convince to so many people around me to join steemit. Witness are @cjsonia @femiandrew.
I have been able to think deep, become creative and learn new things so I can give back to the community came in.

Would you mind removing the #witness-category tag on your post? It could be viewed as tag abuse. The tag is for steemit witnesses to give server updates.
