About me.

(Edited)

Hello and welcome to my introduction post.
First, I would like you to know about meeee. My name is Mercy Omotosho hence my username Mercytosho.

I am African and a Nigerian to be precise. I am proud to be a Nigerian. I love my culture too. I belong to the Yoruba tribe which is one of the major tribes in my country.

If it's okay to say that I am multilingual then I am one. I speak fluently the English language which is the official language in my country. I speak my native language—Yoruba really well too. Recently, I started learning the French language on Duolingo and I can to an extent speak and communicate with it.

My love for reading and writing started at a very young age. My dad would buy me story books to read. My childhood bestie also shared her books with me. I really loved reading every single one of it. I wrote some short stories on my own but that was way back. Having to write essays made me like English class in school better.
Going to art is a decision I am proud I made because it helped build my reading and listening skills.

I am a young lady, very young as some people will say. I think it is better to put it that way. I am in my late teenage years. I can't believe I will be an independent adult soon. That is why I am holding strongly to these last few years I will be living as a teenager and trying to make the best I can of it.
Also, trying to earn as much as I can to help out at home is one of the reasons I am here on Hive.

I am a college student. I am currently studying Mass communication in the University of Ilorin which is the University with the largest land mass in my country. I am in my second year. I would love to major in journalism.

I am a young baker. Young because I am still learning. And since I started, I have lived and enjoyed doing it a lot.

I love plaiting hair for people too. Trying new styles can be challenging but daring to do it is what I think matters the most. Thanks to my mom and sister for lending me their head or is it hair to practice. I find it interesting and very rewarding because the more I do it, the more I get better at it.
Knitting and beading are part of the things I enjoy doing as well.

I got to know Hive some days after joining Read cash through the articles posted by some people there. At the end of each of their articles we are asked to connect with them on Hive. I was curious to know what really happens here.

At first, Hive seemed really complicated and I did not just understand anything about it. Asking questions from people really helped shed light on what looked dark to me about this platform. @princessbusayo was very generous in putting me through.

It took me a few days not just to draft this but to publish it. Was it fear of making a good first impression or shyness? I don't really know what delayed me. Maybe I wasn't just ready. But now, I am all ready to explore and discover what is in here for me. Of course, with you guys help.

For reading this far, thank you! I hope you found it interesting and were able to catch even if it's just a glimpse of me. Thanks once again for your time.

Welcome to Hive !

I hope you enjoy your time here and have lots of fun.

When starting out it is good to find a community that posts the same sort of things you do. This way when you post in their community like minded people see your post and you are more likely to have people interact with you. This way you can start to build up your account.

If you need any advice don’t be afraid to reach out to others on Hive. Most people I have meet are happy to help and their advice can be invaluable.

Have a great day!

Hey Mercy! That is a great introduction post 😍 I see you already took advice from other users to add pictures to it and this complimented your intro even more.

You are very young indeed, but this is your strength. I have always been into writing, but back then there was no internet where I could expose my writing and earn while learning. Such early exposure will sure prepare you for journalism major you’re dreaming of.

If you look at the bottom of my last article, there is a banner which will take you directly to Discord channel of The Terminal. There are many extremely helpful people there as well as plenty of resources to help you take your first steps as well as make your articles even more beautiful. You can ask questions there about all thing Hive as well as Discord operation.

That said, enjoy your time on this amazing platform, connect with as many people as you have time interacting with and see you around 💙

You are right. This is the best time to give it all my best, the earlier the better.
I still keep wondering how life must have been back then without the internet. My mom says it was still very fun.
I already joined the Discord channel group which I know will be of help.
I appreciate you so much for taking your time to read and for also commenting.

It is my pleasure 😇

Life with no internet was fun indeed. All of us were much more fit back then 😂 If we wanted to know things we would have to buy books and magazines or walk to libraries and spend hours there looking for things we want to learn about then carrying bags to books back home to read. We would visit our friends rather than text them and make up games to play. We were more fit and creative 😉💙

It sounds really fun. No wonder they say knowledge is experience, they said it from experience.
I forgot to thank you. I joined the Terminal channel on Discord and I have been loving it there ever since.

Always happy to help when I can 💙

I’m not sure about the device either. I only ever use my phone to take pics and phone/laptop to post.

@mercytosho,


Hello there! Happy Friday from my world... You asked the following:

By device do you mean a phone or digital camera?

Yes indeed! You will learn things at The Terminal, as well as through trial and error experience. But in regards to proper sourcing... it's always good to keep people from questioning your content. Plagiarism is a huge no-no... So it is always a good idea to use proper sourcing techniques. Simply adding the following to the end of each post would be a very good start.


All content is mine unless otherwise stated


You can also add this, as well as some of your favorite banners/footers via a template. That way it is saved for later use. Hope this helps a little!

I didn't know this. I just thought since it's a picture of me that it wasn't necessary. Thanks for mentioning. I'll make sure I add it in my future articles.
Thanks once again 🥰
