How I joined steemit [3]steemCreated with Sketch.

Happy New Week. Is time for the 3rd part of this long story, is long because I have decided to break all the events down and not miss any part of it. Previously I talked about how my classmates in high school refused to learn and join steemit, how I was informed that in steemit we don't earn by the number of our followers and I talked about how I was writing some poems while saving money to buy my first android phone.

I kept wrote these poems in some sheet of papers and something happened in December, a friend of mine offered to give me an old android phone without a battery, he said I need to buy a battery as soon as possible. I was so excited because I really needed a phone since I wasn't even getting better hopes of getting enough money to buy a phone for myself.

I bought the battery with almost all my savings and this is to tell you that my savings that moment was still very small, I was totally lacking behind 😢. We bought the battery and the phone turned on successfully, I bought a charger cord for it a friend of mine offered to give me one of his charger heads and I was happy seeing people helping me with joy.

School resumed and I showed James the phone, he was very happy for me but then something unfortunate occured again, I couldn't register for a steemit account because the phone is a copied phone, almost like Belgium phones, the phone was never bought through a sealed cartoon which means from the beginning it wasn't a new phone before it got old, are you confused? The phone is different from major phones and such phones always have one or two problems that can't be solved and whenever these phones spoils they can't be repaired because their parts aren't in the market.

Now the fault of this particular one was the Gmail app. I can't login my Gmail account in the phone and is important I do because that's where I can access the code steemit will send to my Gmail account while registering. I tried to download another Gmail application from Google play store but it wasn't downloading I kept on trying but nothing was successful. I can use the phone for Facebook, WhatsApp and others but I couldn't login my Gmail account.

I got an idea one afternoon while thinking about the situation and wondering why it wasn't working, I remembered I can use my mother's phone to login my Gmail account so the next day I tried to do that but network was very bad, my area used to have a very bad network then as is a bushy environment with less population then. I decided to try again another day but network was even worst and my last option was to take my mum's phone far from home where network is. To be continued.

I can imagine how sad you will be when you realized that the phone can’t work for Steemit

Yeah I was so closed to joining the platform but I believed I will join and the phone really motivated me more.

Have you ever traveled to Europe? :)

No I haven't. Are you on discord?

I don't use Discord anymore, I uninstalled it. Do you have Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp?

That's strange. Am not in Viber yet. But you are in Twitter right?

I don't have Twitter, I don't like it :)

That's also strange.

Done 👍
