I never took life so serious in my childhood. I always wanted to do things that could keep me happy. Unluckily, some of the things that made me happy were not school-based and therefore I had a difficulty in education sector. My performance kept on dropping until a time when my cousin took charge as my teacher. He encouraged me and told me not to concentrate so much on one thing. I found this to be motivating since he never stopped me from doing what I wanted but rather asked me to balance them with education. I then began serious studies since I did not want to let my cousin down. From there my performance improved. From there my mom then started telling me now how I can avoid bad things and be a good boy. Initially it was difficult to change, but when I got to high school I began thinking straight and decided to stay focused.
Currently am working for someone in a salon. Since getting a professional job has become a big challenge in our country, I decided not to just sit there and depend on my parents. Hence I looked for any job that can keep me busy and luckily, I got one. I now work in a salon, sell cosmetics and other beauty products, and do shave. I've been making some savings all along and now wish to open my own salon. Though the amount I have right now is not enough, but am not too far from it. And for that reason am here looking for a loan that can boost my financial capability.
Since I want to be independent I will have to purchase the basic equipments first, starting with the shaving machine, shaving cream and dryer. And now that the amount am being offered is not enough I'll have to use some of the savings I've made. This journey am starting is not an easy thing. So I don't want to rush through and get myself stuck. I want to make sure that I become independent when I already have all the requirements needed to start a salon.
