To start with, out-selling is important and gaining one or two skills is very essential in today’s world because a job nowadays is not even sufficient to survive. So we need an extra income to make us live a better life. So I landed deed making during my service year in Quarra State for my grandmother. I had the opportunity to stay with my grandmother and I served in a school that closes around 2pm. So whenever I’m back from school, I just draw my grandmother in bead making because she does that during a leisure time and whenever she feels she is bored, it’s either she’s knitting or she’s making beads. So I feel so happy that I was able to learn bead making and aside that, I think bead making is very challenging and it brings the best out of you. It encourages you to do more. For example, whenever I’m trying to make a piece, then I search online, I get to see different designs. So I do not have a choice other than to sit and crack my brains to find the means out of this. So eventually when I finally get the actual design, I am so much happy and this helped me so much in brainstorming. I think beading is beautiful.

To start with, out-selling is important, and gaining one or two skills is very essential in today's world because a job nowadays is not even sufficient to survive. We need an extra income to live a better life. I learned bead making during my service year in Kwara State from my grandmother. I had the opportunity to stay with her while serving in a school that closed around 2 PM. Whenever I returned from school, I would watch my grandmother make beads because she does that during her leisure time or whenever she feels bored; it's either she's knitting or making beads. I feel so happy that I was able to learn bead making. I think bead making is very challenging, and it brings out the best in you. It encourages you to do more. For example, whenever I'm trying to make a piece, I search online and see different designs. I have no choice but to sit and think creatively to figure it out. Eventually, when I finally achieve the design, I feel so happy, and this has helped me a lot in brainstorming. I think beading is beautiful.
