How I joined steemit [5]

Previously I talked about how I kept on trying to login my Gmail account in my mum's phone to begin the registration process and it didn't work at the end because network was too bad at home and I just needed to take the phone out, my mum never allowed me to take her phone far from her and the old phone I was using later got spoilt in the classroom, I was so devastated about that.

I went ahead to inform my parents about the phone and I can remember how I used to type some scenes from one of my story book inside the phone's WPS office so that I can print it out and publish the book or sell it to someone far away for me. Deep down I knew I can't get what I typed offline if the phone isn't repaired. My parents felt bad about this too and I went to the market with my mum to see if we can fix the phone.

Alot of people were saying they can't fix the touch in the phone screen because the phone is copied like I said in one of the series, the phone is among phones that weren't brand new or bought in sealed cartons, they are Belgium phones and whenever they spoil they can never be repaired, we kept on asking and asking but no one was able to fix the phone and I went back home with my mum sorrowfully, I really needed a phone.

My dad said he will take it to a computer village quite far from our home and is a very big place filled with alot of guys that repairs phones, laptops and computers. They also sell these things there too and I was surprised when he went there and showed them the phone they said they can't repair it that the parts doesn't exist, they are unique phones without parts and they went to the extent to try to convince my dad to sell the phone for them, they want to use some of the parts to do other things and they called a very small amount for my dad.

Amount that wasn't even up to the price I used to buy the phone's battery. My dad refused because is not his phone and he needs to ask me who's the owner, first before selling it so he came back with it and that was when I lost all hope, I got very angry with myself because I know the only thing left was for me to buy a phone l, for me to continue my former plan of saving money to buy a phone for myself even when I don't work, I was always wishing I didn't carry that phone to school the day the phone spoilt, at least it would have lasted longer.

The only way I get money then while in my final year in high school was just the snacks and transport money my parents normally give me, is less than 300 naira which is less than one steem. In a day that's the little money I carry for both transport fare to go to school and to come back home as well as my snacks money which was 100 naira, way too small for a student in it's final year in high school. To be continued.
