About Me
To start with,i am glad to have a chance to express myself.
First,i was born and brought up in a rural set up,where just like any other child, i grew while gong to school and helping my parents with domestic activities like taking livestock to the river and collecting firewood.However,my parents were peasants and depended on cultivation to get food and educate us.There was both cash crop and food crops.Born in a family of eight,i am a seventh child in our family.When i finished secondary school,my parents were old and not much productive so they managed to take me to a technical school where i acquired skills of an electrician.
Besides being an electrician,i used to love and like drawing of arts and Galleries.When i moved to town to look for jobs,i started staying in my uncles home.Much of my time i used to do drawings that could not only for fun but to decorate my uncle's house.Every time visitors come to my uncle house,they were fascinated by my drawings and wanted to have me draw one or two for them.It later emerged that it is indeed a talent i had and it is the time to realize it and concentrate with it.Today i do commercial arts and galleries with orders.Most of my supplies are in hotels and home decoration.This is how i came to start my own business with a sustainable source of income.the unique thing about the society i live is that,people respect and uphold the dignity of human values and it's contribution to the welfare and well being of the society.My children would want to be feed well,get educated and equipped with necessary skills for job market and nurturing talents.My unique hobbies are drawing and helping young people realize their talents and shun drugs and violence.Thank you.
My Business
Meanwhile; besides being an electrician and talented artist,my business ranges from offering both services and products or goods.
To be specific, i provide or sell Art work,wall picture with best landscape and well framed.My art work is very wide in terms of the choice of the picture and background i want to create.Also i offer services of electricity repairs and wiring.These goods and services are in demand because everyone like and appreciate decorations especially at a living room and even at the business or even in a church.On the other hand,faulty electric wires are a danger and mostly everyone seeks the services of a profession and an electrician.It can be a new house that need wiring and my services becomes on demand.I choose these jobs because,one live pursuing my hobby of Arts as well as skills that i learn t in technical school.Also i choose these business because they are more profitable.
My typical cost are cost of buying drawing materials ,ink of different colors,pens,rubber,turpentine,drawing instruments.Also i spend buying electric accessories and cables.Most of my profit goes towards meeting my expenses paying bills and buying equipment for my work.I also help my old parents back home and others i reinvest.
Thank you.
