Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 98: "My voice, My story"
Hello everyone,
it's @glorystar21. I have been missing in action for a bit, but I'm excited to take part into today's post where I will be sharing my story for the 'My Voice, My Story' contest. Big thanks to the @Steem4nigeria community for organizing this. Let me get straight to the point.
Let me share my experiences that shaped who I am.
When I was 12 back then when I small, my family moved to a new town and settle down to start a life and I had to start at a new school. I was a shy type and scared I wouldn’t fit in the new school. My first day was a bit not good because I sat alone at lunch, feeling like everyone was staring. But this one student Enobong, came over and asked if I wanted to play scrabble game with her and her friends.
I was like scrabble? what's that, she answered and said that Scrabble is a board game where players create words from letter tiles to score points. It requires vocabulary, strategic thinking, and word-building skills. Players take turns forming words on a grid, using letter tiles with different point values, and trying to maximize their scores.
I answered saying that I am not really great at it, but they didn’t care, they just included me. That moment taught me how much kindness matters and made me want to be the kind of person who helps others feel included. Now, I always try to reach out to new kids at school.
If my life were a book, I would call it Keep Moving Forward. I choose this title because life feels like a journey where I am always learning from my mistakes and small moments. Whether it's about showing up when it matters, proving my worth in times of trouble and helping through thick and thin who truly matter.
I am figuring it out that the best thing you can do is to keep going now matter how hard it gets. That title is not a fancy one it's honest and about staying hopeful and working towards being a better version of myself every day
My sister's traditional marriage ceremony was one of those moments that stays in your memory forever. I mean, I have been seen some beautiful traditional weddings, but this one was something special. From the moment she walked out out in her stunning traditional attire, I knew we were captured. She looked like a queen, with her beautiful designed clothes. But it wasn't just her that made the day so special, it was the way our whole family came together to celebrate their love with them.
I remember looking around and seeing our parent's eyes shining with pride, with joy, and our siblings all smiles. It was like we were all producing love and happiness. I felt like I was connected to something deeper and more meaningful than just a wedding. And when my sister and her partner exchanged vows, it was like the whole room melted away, leaving just the two of them, promising forever.
I felt so honored to be a part of it, to stand by her side and bear witness to their love. And when it was all over, and we were celebrating with food, music, and dance, I knew this was a memory I will never forget forever. We laughed, we cried, we danced the night away. I was truly an unforgettable experience. Even now, thinking back on that day brings a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. My sister's traditional marriage ceremony was more than just a wedding- it was a celebration of love, family, and tradition.
If I were a superhero, I totally would be Spider-Man, but with a tag on my clothes "Web of Kindness". My reason is that Spiderman is a good person who is always there to help, cracking jokes and saving the day, even when he’s got his own drama. SpiderMan is not just about web-slinging, he has a huge heart, always looking out for people, no matter how small their problem. That is me, I’m all about giving answers that help and maybe make you smile, whether it’s a big question or something tiny. I’m more about spreading good energy and connecting with friends, like weaving a web of kindness everywhere I go.
In Conclusion,
Life is like a fun journey. It is full of ups, downs, and surprising things that makes us who we are. A memories that keeps you smile through tough moments that teach you great lessons, and the big dreams that push you into becoming your best self. When you look back, every moment whether good, bad, or just okay the way it is adds a special piece to your story. That is what life is all about so awesome and worth living.
