In one way or another, we all have skills that benefit us, but not everyone actually has a skill. But it is good to be good at something. If you have a skill that gives you money, then you will understand what I'm saying perfectly well.
As skills are one of those things that make one go far in life, apart from the fact that you have a certificate as a graduate, you must also have skills you are good at.
During my college years, I realized the importance of skills. Though my parents have always been disturbing me to get particular skills, which I did not find fun of, when I got to college, I found a skill I have so much interest in, and since education is not a source of income, especially in the country in which I found myself, I needed to find a way to survive. So I learned two skills. The first thing I learned in the year 2104 was phone engineering hardware and software. I learned this when I realized education is not enough in our country, and for a man who is trying to survive, you need to have something you are doing.
So I told my parents about it, and since that is what they want, they are so eager to be in support of it. Ever since I was little, I loved to deal with everything that dealt with phones, so in one way or another, I'm pretty good, even before I got to learn the work. It was so surprising for my boss to realize how good I'm when it comes to phone software. I became his second-in-command whenever he was out.
I learned these particular skills for a good three years, from 2014 to 2017. When I finally became a graduate and finished my learning with my boss, I opened my own shop before going for my degree, and I must say that these particular skills helped me a lot. When I finally went to university, I also became so popular for the skill.
At the university, it was these particular skills that helped me financially in almost everything I'm doing. I was able to sort myself out and pay my bills because of these skills.
Furthermore, when I was in college, I also learned taekwondo, which makes me so popular in school. At some point, I represented my school in this game, and I caned out in flying colors. I have a lot of students at the university to whom I taught these particular skills, and most of them are now representing the school, even after I'm done schooling.
This skill also feeds me and puts food on my table. I could do a lot of things regarding this taekwondo skill. I wouldn't forget that fame was also part of what I gained in school, and I have some people who gave me a salary ending every month for teaching their children both fitness and martial arts.
The two skills did not just make me famous but also put enough food and savings in my pocket. And yes, I was able to teach some people who were willing to learn.
