Hello! What's Your writing story?

Hi everyone. My name is Godwin, I'm from Nigeria, I speak, English, Igbo and French and intend learning more foreign languages. I'm a mechanical engineering student studying at Federal University of Petroleum Resources, warri, Nigeria and should be graduating 2 (-3 because of the lockdown) years from now. I started from being a great lover of stories as a kid, in some cultures here in Nigeria, story telling is very typical and always a thrill to look forward to. No, not bed time stories haha...hmm we can talk privately for details or I'll just make it my next article lol. Then I began to love telling stories too and became really good at it, that at a time, every other kid just wanted to listen to me tell stories as many as possible that I always ran out of passed down stories. But that 10 years old me would never allow himself disappoint anyone, so I would immediately form stories based on some movies I saw and some things I saw and even the things I wished for and it turned out I enjoyed telling my own stories more. When I got to highschool, I began to find interest in poems and articles...they became my new thing, because I'd write down an article at every single spare time I got. I had a girlfriend because of my articles some time in school. Something happened to that craftsmanship I developed anyways. In Nigeria, getting into college/University is always big deal and the good schools fiercely competitive to get a slot. I soon forgot about writing to focus on reading, until I got to the university, met some writers and then remembered I used to be good at this. Although I still find it difficult to write articles or poems that I'll love, but I've decided brush up that skill again and this platform is a great opportunity to challenge myself. Merci!
