What is your strength?

I've heard people say a lot of hurtful things about God and for real it breaks me down. How can you say he doesn't exist when Milly Alcock who was living in an attic washing dishes just woke one morning and heard she got the lead to play Rhaenyra Targaryen of the series House of Dragon, I say and I repeat that it can only be God because who else would do such a thing.

Hearing of her story really inspired me a lot, not to wash dishes or try to replace Daemon in the Series but to look for a job. I'd been without one for a while now and if you know the phrase "feeding from hand to mouth" then you'll know that I couldn't even afford such a luxury and instead of die I decided to have a little faith. First of all to go job hunting I needed a good C.V, non of which I had except faith.

So on a faithful day, I got up, removed my white shirt from under the bed perfectly iron, I used the hair cream I was managing to polish my black shoe and wore on top of that the oversized suit my dad gave me, suits me really fine. Then I knocked on the door to my neighbors house and asked him to help me with just two cups of garri. Feeling generous, she decided to bless me with 6 cups instead and gave me a little change to buy sugar and groundnut.

Without wasting time I sold the garri and headed out, sure that this time I wasn't going to trek. I walked for a while till I saw a notice sign, one requesting for a "security guard" for hire and the location was a little far from where I was. I stopped a public transport and asked him how much it took to get to my destination. Thinking I was a novice (they always think that when you ask for Price), he told me triple the actual amount. I just laughed and walked away, got another one and entered. The guy by my side smiled at me and started to try to engage me in a conversation but when he heard my stomach rumble he decided to leave me alone.

I got to the establishment and it was a large warehouse. I immediately climbed up the steps excited, forgetting how hungry I was and still having so much faith. I got to the front desk and spoke with a really chubby receptionist who just looked so uninterested. I finally got in and the interview began immediately.

The interviewer asked me without wasting much time, "tell me your strength", with a very keen interest in his voice.

First thing that came to my mind was, ""I finish other people's sentences"*, everyone praised me for always doing that in school.

He scrutinized me from head to toe,"Okayyy, uh..can you-

**"Resume work on Monday? Absolutely", I could see the shock on his face. Then I shook his hand and with a big smile I left, walking all the way home to save up transport for Monday.

Monday came and I was reporting for duty as early as possible. I got there greeted everyone and the interviewer didn't say too much, he just showed me around and finally pointed out that as a security guard I needed to watch the Warehouse. I'm on season 5 but I'm not really sure what it has to do with security.
