Poverty is a bastard and I will like to thank @chant for giving us this contest. **Have you ever seek for help?** I was not lucky enough that I was not born into a rich family and so moments life is good and some moments life is tough I always thank God for that because he knows what is good for me and I have asked my friends for help on some many occasions and so were able to give and other didn’t even have to cater for their self than to give me and so I have seek for help in some many time and up to now I am seeking for help from people. **What was the reason for you seeking help?** When I was going to school my parent didn’t give me enough money for me to use it and it got to a time that my food stuff finished and I was not having money with me and I called my parents to send me and they were giving me stories and I have never asked my best friend for help and so one that day and I know his side is good and so I called him to send me and I explain everything to him what I was going through on campus and so I asked him to send me money and he said he will send me. **Who do you seek help from?** A part from my parents my best friend is someone closer to me than any other person and because of what I am going through I asked my friends to send me money. **Did they respond positively or negatively?** He responded negatively When I asked him to send me the money he told me he was going to send me the money and I waited patiently for hours and I was not seeing an alert on my phone and that day evening I called him three times and he didn’t pick up and the only time he picked up my call was when I was in the house because of what he has done to me I don’t want to ask anyone for help apart my family. **Did you learn any lessons from such situations?** Never uncounted help from your friends they may Also be finding things difficult on their side the only people who can help you when you are in critical situations is your family. **Give out a word of motivation to someone who needed help but had no one to help out** When something like this happens to you, you need to realize that if you don’t work harder for your self no one will provide anything for you and you need to use these pains as a lesson to work hard to make your future better. **Conclusion** Somethings is meant to happen in our life at least once or twice and we learned from them and we make sure that it never repent again and I will like to invite @chenty @tymestwo77 @rubilu123 to participate in this contest. 15% payout to @steem-cameroon
