Skills in Action: My Digital Expertise

A few years ago, the only digital skills I had were wasting my data away, texting and watching videos. And all that those skill did were waste my time away. I wasn’t earning from them but I was rather investing my money and time with no returns.

But, my life changed a lot when I decided to learn some digital skills to help me in one way or the other. One thing about me is that, I love to take advantage of every situation I find myself in and I’m not shy to learn. If I don’t know something, I make sure to humble myself and learn from those who know. And that has made my life better in so many ways.

Through my curiosity, I started a web design study session with a friend and I was doing pretty good. Currently, my progress is really slow but as they say, slow motion is better than no motion. Now, let’s look towards a skill I would say I’m becoming a pro at.

Everything I know and do today started from curiosity. Most of my friends are into photography and they’re making big money out of it. So, I also decided to use the opportunity to learn from them as the curious and humble woman that I am. First, I started taking shots with my phone and I had my friends laugh at me so much cos the pictures were terrible. They then told me to do this and that and slowly, I started to capture great pictures.

I didn’t have a camera then and as a newbie, no one wanted to give me their camera. First, I needed to learn with my phone before touching these expensive cameras cos if I should destroy it now I won’t have money to pay. Straight to jail.😂 So, I used my phone to learn and I got quite good at it in about half a year.

Then, I started to use my friends camera to take my shots but I also planned on saving to get my own camera. Today, I take very great pictures both with my phone and with my friends cameras ( until I get mine). But since I don’t have a camera of my own to start business with, I’d just have to stick to mobile photography.

Looking into the future, I hope to get a high tech camera which I can use to start a photography business because I believe every moment is worth capturing. I love the pictures and photography at large because every picture has a story.
