My Introduction and Journey of Life.
I'm new here.. My name is maryene. I like it when I am been enny. I am a native of Benue state, in Otukpo local government. Nigeria. I am from a family of 11, 4 girls and 7 boys. And the first daughter and third child of my family.
Already you know I have 8 siblings behind me🫣🫣. I grew up in the military barrack as my dad was a soldier, that's where he gave birth to all of his children. I am 35 years old and permit me HIVE COMMUNITY as I take you into the journey of my introduction to a single mom.
I grew up in a barrack that comprised of different languages and caliber. You can hardly pick up an accent in the barrack. I became a tough skin due to the way my father handled his children. No fear and attitude, you can not threaten a barrack child 😃the barracks have their own way of life from the outside vicinity. It's difficult to speak your language while staying in the barracks because of different languages 😃. Life in the barrack could be fun and at the same time, it could be tough. At the age of 18, I was done with O level and got admission into the university where I was supposed to study science laboratory but something came up along the way... My introduction comes with a lot of experience that I will be sharing with HIVE
I was so excited at my 19-year-old that I got admitted into the university. I was so excited that I can now experience another part of life aside from staying in the barrack all my life😃. Unfortunately my joy was cut shot from the 2nd month of my stay at the University 😭. Love is a beautiful thing that everyone is entitled to have in their lives. My case was different. I got pregnant after 3weeks I was disvirgin by my first lover I met in the university. My parent was disappointed in me and that lead me into dropping out from school.
At 18, I was ballsy, bold and grown up and so – in the prideful foolishness of my decent look. It wasn't easy as I tried in keep the pregnancy of my teenagers age.. I wasn't comfortable living with my parent 👨👩👧. My mother was ashamed that her first daughter was pregnant. Her young, unmarried, "from a Christian home" daughter was pregnant. She was ashamed as if it was her fault. As a Christian, I had to stand by my conviction that abortion is wrong, so it would not be an option. So im having a 👶
Despite the challenges I went back to school.
Though After 3years,Deciding to return to college after dropping out poses more challenges.
Attending college once more as an adult means it’s very much likely that I will have a handful of duties and responsibilities to diligently take on at home and in the workplace and elsewhere in between.
While working on my college degree, l have to commit to my studies as well as taking care of my child
It’s due to this reason, I have to strategize and create a solid plan on how l will attain a balance between my personal life and career while at the same time doing everything that I can do to successfully complete my undergraduate degree program.Without a workable blueprint, i might find yourself dropping out of college all over again. So I got involved into modeling. I tried all I could to take modeling as a paying job for me as a student, but it was not as I thought because working with the right agency and manager would have helped me build up my career and then get more exposure and finding more amazing opportunities. But how do I find the right one😟.. I noticed that it will take a long time to start getting paid, and so I quit and look for another thing to do
Acting is what i do everyday at home, school and a lot more. Acting movie is fun and a easy thing for me, going to audition countless times to get good roles and also get connected to producers and directors.. Unfortunately that's was not for me as most of the directors are Hi not willing to give me a role I merit according to my performance, the are looking for ways to take me to bed, so I stepped down from the movie industry .. What next for me🤷🏼♀️
Given up is not an option for me as a single mother.. I had to go into selling of footwear and her painting job in order for me to pay my school fee and my daughter need. Due to this process, I was able to see myself through the university. All thanks to my parent who were the one looking after my daughter as I go down the street to hustle.
It's fun to share my experience with HIVE community about my experience in the university, let's me talk about my hang out with my friends in the college. Taking selfies is a great way to preserve memories of your friendship . They are a lot of memories I can hardly forget about my friends. Though some have traveled outside the country and some are in another state doing well and I lost one of my friend in a motor accident but the memories we shared are never forgetting. I could remember the places we went together to have fun like the Karaoki night out, we visited the amusement park, we went on wine tasting, shopping together and lots more.. In order to keep the relationship healthy, we visit each an everyone of us favorite place to hangout and that kept us going until we graduated from the college
Let's me talk about my likes and dislike
Every person have their likes and dislikes as a human being. I will be specifically pointing out 5 things I dislike the most.
being judged for once choice
interference in personal space
disgusting odors😠.
I dislike audience members who talk rubbish throughout the movie when I'm seeming a movie at the theater
I disliked been caught when I'm watching porn🫣
Whatsapp avatar
My likes are simple and that's what makes me different.
I like random act of kindness I like listening to cool music 🎶. Especially when I'm trouble and I go into my quite time and play the gospel music and immediately my spirit are lifted high. I love using my hands to wash my dress than using the washing machine I clean and organized my room because I love clean environment ♻️
I'm excited to be privilege to be part of the HIVE community, I'm happy to share my journey of life experiences with you all. A big thank you goes to @treasuree who introduced me into this platform. Sharing my experience of life with HIVE has made me to remember lots of memories of my college days.

You look astonishingly beautiful!
And I am so happy that you made it to Hive and thanks to Treasuree that you're here! I have a new friend and I have made you one by following you.
To make your posts go viral on Hive, I am introducing you to Dreemport. "Dreemport is a pay-it-forward curation platform. It allows you to get guaranteed eyes on your blog/content every time you share a link to your blog on the Dreemport website. The way it works is this:
You register on www.dreemport.com by signing up with an email address. It is quick and easy and takes about 2 minutes.
Then you go to the menus running along the top of Dreemport site and select Earn Dreem and then Curate. You will be presented with links to 5 randomly assigned blog posts for you to visit, read, and rank on Dreemport. Once you have done this, the option to Submit your own post for public curation will be accessible under the earn dreem menu. You click there, drop in your post's URL and the URL link to your post's header image (by right-clicking on the image in your post and selecting copy image address, and pasting that into the image field in Dreemport).
Once you submit it, your post will be screened for plagiarism, image sourcing will be checked and it will be reviewed to ensure it meets Dreemport guidelines which primarily rest with the requirement for content to meet PG13 standards. The following day your post will be visited by public curators where it is situated on your blog. In this way you get to meet fellow writers and curators, establish friendships and integrate into the community. You will likely receive some comments on your post and potentially upvotes too... and you may do the same for those whom you read. You will earn Dreem tokens which can be used in the monthly treasure hunt and Dreemerge cards which can be collected and levelled up to earn rewards on dreemport.
I do hope you will take a look and give it a try. It is very useful for new Hivers just starting out to have a supportive community around them."
Let me know if you'd like some help getting set up - it is really simple and super quick to do trust me!! It would be awesome if you would give it a try as I'd love to know what you think.
In the meantime, I am going to share a few of your posts in Dreemport this week to increase the engagement on them if that's okay for you☺️, so you can get an insight of what it feels and look like.
Cesca. Wow. Thanks for sharing this with us on DreemPort. The post just passed through screening and will be curated by our public curators today.

Your story is so touching. One thing I love about you is that fact that you never allowed any of your circumstances made you give up.
You are truly a hard working woman, if I was in your shoes I would have probably given up long ago. You are the first female painter I am coming across, keep it up. In no distant time, you will become a wonder.

Ok thank you
What a story Mary Ene and you are simply amazing. I love the ballsy attitude and the fact you will try things but stop when they are not paying or trying to bed you etc.
Our life experiences make us who we are, my god it would be boring if we are all normal towing the standard goody two shoes line. Your likes/dislikes number 5 made me 🤣. I used to work in Nigeria and other West African countries and love you guys (well most anyway!).
I came here via #dreemport and I am so glad you have joined Hive.
If you ever need anything do drop me a comment here or in Discord, you will find many communities are on Discord and Twitter of course.
I see you have been bombarded with novels to read in the comments ....
Anyway far too much nonsense from me for you to read when you be hustling!
@tengolotodo thank you for taking out your time to each through my introduction and life experiences.. I hope you will read more of my up coming post. Thank you.. When you visit Nigeria, hope you taste our local meal😂.
You are so very welcome Mary Ene, I was in Nigeria for two years so I ate many local meals cooked by some wonderful ladies. Now that I think of it a man never cooked me for me once!
Yes Hive can be complicated and lonely as you think your posts are not doing well etc. But building connections and with your cracking gists on life you will rock it!
Congratulations

Aww thank Cesca but I did not know you were part of #dreemport staff now @cescajove?
Thank you in all seriousness Amber, I love commenting on a newbie's blog they get inundated with books of generic stuff, it feels good to talk to them on an individual basis..
hehehe cesca has been Dreem teem since... hmmm 2020 I think 🤔 😂😂😂😂
haha really dreemport staff, and to think at one point I used to tell her what was going on ... it should have been the other way around @cescajove 🤣
hahaha and she probably was just nodding her head quietly LOLOLOL
Which is odd as normally she says how it is!
well you know - there were times when she was away for a bit, as she got busy - so maybe when you were telling her about things - she just thought you were checking up on her? hahahaha who knows! LOLOL... all i know is one thing.
i have the best teem ever ;)
Who knows indeed, and yes you do DreemieWeemieSeeme, have a wonderful weekend!

Yeah never say never you never know what will happen!

hahahahaha i LOVE that!!!!!!!!
I just saw that you had a podcast today - and I was gonna sneak on! hehehe
yes that is one of the plates I had to stop spinning lol... i had an idea for a podcast also and had even started it!!! and it was a collaborative one too! hehe but - time.
i think podcasts and videos are SUCH an important part of growth in our space too! but darn it. TIME!! hehehe
someday i'd like to do it again because i very much enjoyed it hehehe
All about time, but I like the podcasts, it is all off the cuff poor Mrs T does not even know what the episode is about until I hit record haha
Time it really is all time and finding which plates are worth spining!
LOLOLOL this is EXACTLY what we did with ours too!! @penderis wanted an itemized schedule of what we'd be talking about.
I said - nooooo lets just talk and let it be live and flow!
I think it would have been great!!! the 2 episodes we did (and didn't publish) were awesome hahaha but... meh. he's a party pooper 😜
Oh so he was the party pooper! Well dayum!
me likey the sound of that hehe !Hug
I sent 1.0 HUG on behalf of @samsmith1971.
