Hey read.cash fam. I have missed you all. Hope everyone and everything has been cool since my time out.
I don't know if anyone noticed, I have been away from read.cash for several weeks. I'm still in high school and living in the school boarding house, with no access to phones and the internet. So since resumption I have not to visit read.cash to read or publish an article.
How am I online when school is still in session?
We were given a few days off since we have been in school on extension through the holidays to prepare us for the various exams we will be writing this year. I'm in the final stage of my college life - the most stressful and difficult times because of the three major examinations we will be undertaking which have roles to play in determining our progress to the next academic stage - College.
I'm back, what did I miss?
Well, I have been online for hours reading and trying to get updates on possible events or changes on read.cash. But I failed to notice any. The only update I got was about our darling coin, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) - it crossed the $1000 price line some days back and currently trading at $854 at the time of writing this post.
Wow!
I seemed to have missed out on the excitement and also taking advantage of the surge in price to have an increase in my BCH asset. Though so little, I sold the BCH I earned before my time away, to help purchase some of the items I needed at school so I had no BCH in my wallet during the pump. But thanks to BItcoin cash, I was able to buy some of the things I needed.
When I visited my read.cash, I met about $7 in my wallet - earnings from my last few articles. I was happy I had something.
Before I left for school, my earnings on the platform have been very poor and discouraging. I barely earn up to $0.05 but that didn't discourage me. Perhaps my content is not good enough for the random rewarder's generous tipping. I'm still working on my writing skills. I hope to improve so I can publish better contents which will hopefully earn me some good tips.
Time in School
My last post on the platform was 3 months ago. That how long I have been inactive on read.cash. I had to resume school after the Christmas holidays and have been in school ever since.
I can't recall if I good you guys, but I'm the school prefect. That gave me a lot of responsibilities added to the academic work. I had a lot of expectations on my shoulder. It was difficult at first but I have managed to adapt and found a way to carry out my responsibilities as the head prefect diligently while also making out time for my academic activities.
Life in school with the other boys gives a mixed feeling. You miss home, you are happy to be with very close mates and other unfriendly students keep annoying you and getting in your way. But in the end, I have found a way to stay sane and happy in all situations.
I mentioned staying in school during the recent holidays for extension classes. It is a preparatory period for the examination marathon that is to come. We are currently in Senior Secondary three (SS3) which is the last stage in a Nigerian secondary school. We have three examinations to undergo organized by three examination bodies - West African Examination Council (WAEC), National Examination Council (NECO), and Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB).
The first of the three examinations will kick off in June and the last will end in September. That's 4 months of intense studying and exams.
I'm working hard in preparation for these examinations so I can come out in flying colors and increase my chances of getting admission into my University of choice. I can't afford to fail any of the subjects. I will do my best and leave the rest to the supreme. I believe my best and His grave will be enough to see me through.
The Break
We have been allowed to go home for some days to freshen up. and restock on things we will likely need as there may not be room to go home again till the end of the examinations. So for the next few days, I will be very active here so I can earn as much as possible to help in getting some of the things I need for school and also get to read from you all.
Thank you for reading.
I can understand you. Trying to cope with being in SS3 is just too much but one has to study well to come out with good grades especially in WAEC as this is one of the prerequisites in gaining admission into a University. I hope the supreme God would help and favor you in all examinations. Good luck to you.
