7 months past since I opened an account here. I didn't make my introductory post all these while. Honestly I forgot.But I'm still very much welcomed as a newbie😁😂. As a prodigal son in quote. 😂😂 I have decided to finally make my introductory post and start blogging , I hope you guys pardon me. My dear fellow Hivians😊. ![IMG_20230723_165112~2.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbtVbp7jSH4nhbxqCcYJHT4fgbZv7DBBMQTvs9AYjCH5W/IMG_20230723_165112~2.jpg) By the way, I'll like to thank @imohmitchel for putting me through this verification process.

**Name and Background**

| -| My name is Udemeabasi Sunday Andrew in full, but I answer a lot of short names like, UD , USA, yhudee , Udeme, Andrew or even Bobby which I know not how it came about. I grew up to realize that it was one of the names my relatives do call me. I'm an indigenous young man hailing from the Ikpe akpa ewe village of Oruka Anam local government in AkwaIbom state, Nigeria. But I'm currently residing in Uyo, the capital city of AkwaIbom. I'm the first born of two. And we're four in the family. Me, my little brother, my mother and father. Just like my name USA, I've always dreamed of studying and living in that country. But life is constantly happening. But one day, I'll be therebto stay for sure.😜 I chose this username– @us-andrew because it's unique to me. I've found that most of the short names I mentioned up there are so common, so I decided to be exceptional. I think the name sounds a bit formal and prefer it like that. It's U S ANDREW. Almost forgot– the little boy you see up there, this is him now; ![IMG_20250709_165941.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbwKWknEeiyx1Vrshg5DD4XQoGGmGUFgWf5y4A21yieQX/IMG_20250709_165941.jpg)|![IMG_20241215_151238.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmUfFh94Qehu8Ap1cf4QcHM5Q9ZKyvuU3piMwpKLUmmhcW/IMG_20241215_151238.jpg) -|-

**EDUCATION**

| -| I was enrolled in a simple but modern Nursery school called Assurance Nursery And Primary School,back in 2007 and I later graduated from primary school to a secondary where I did my secondary school education for 6 Years. Although we were not celebrated as graduating students like it was always done in the previous years. It was due to the COVID-19 protocols then. But I still love the school –Heritage College. Still located in the heart of Uyo. I'm currently an Engineering student in the prestigious University of Uyo, AkwaIbom state. I'm pursuing a degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and this is my 4th year. Soon, I'll be a graduate 😎😎

**WORK/SIDE-HUSTLE**

| -| After my secondary school days, I stayed home about a year plus. But while I was academically inactive, I decided to learn a trade, a technical skills that was in line with my proposed Field of study in the University. I learnt how to repair Electronics and Electrical appliances. Normally, to gain full or enough knowledge before practicing the technical skills as a professional, you need about 2- 3 years of experience. But after a year, I got an admission into the university to study electrical and electronic engineering. I took a break from work. But subsequently, during public holiday and school breaks, I usually got back to work. Then gradually as time went on , I completed at least two year, which I was them given a certificate for practicing the profession. I became a certified Technician. While still in school, I practice the profession actively. So if you have any electrical appliances or electronics that needs repair. You can always count on me. Aside the major one, I'm also a crypto trader , a writer and and UI/UX designer.

**HOBBIES**

| -| Things, I do for fun includes; wickedness😂😂. Okay I'm joking. I love singing, my friend sometimes do commend my good voice, but sometimes when jealousy overwhelms them, they'll say I can't sing😂. I also love drawing, and I'm very good at it. While growing up at our former resident, there was one of our neighbors who was an artist, he would make realistic portraits of people, animal and numerous things. And i always like to go and watch him. On day , he gave me on of his drawing paper and told me to make a sketch of any animal. That if I did well , he was going to by me drawing tools. Guys I passed the test. But he never bought the drawing tools😂. He gave an excuse which was understandable and He compensated me with three of his pencils, which I still preserve till today. These are some of my art works; ![EEEoA8oLaAxsTkPYAARp78o5cJA1o6Chv9x98TzCFT6v5GWPfSWiD5Yki3RbbBWUeKhFoguf8FDonPzY1w5uUiqEhXSLo1X15cfiFBjB8xrSXJHezM6uP4t9RZ1TxSGP1w7dmbEaBibf1GxS5oBav.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmW7t88yqkBZCbHBso3nwYwxfNYHUpTz6sQNdiksYq8qN1/EEEoA8oLaAxsTkPYAARp78o5cJA1o6Chv9x98TzCFT6v5GWPfSWiD5Yki3RbbBWUeKhFoguf8FDonPzY1w5uUiqEhXSLo1X15cfiFBjB8xrSXJHezM6uP4t9RZ1TxSGP1w7dmbEaBibf1GxS5oBav.jpeg)[Source](https://steemit.com/world-of-xpilar/@us-andrew/pencil-drawing-new-competition-no-48-a-beautiful-friend-of-mine) ![7258xSVeJbKkzXhyseBP4PYz11eBDT8sW2oR1a4vfVFS6JTjNgt1Z7N8TFGSUexiRnYVgzfxYCvHAkv8XVYvYVoXpgFoUGm5GoUXHjBTSzgSFrqRyXkRjios6TUgAsrvQxSXqMbTKg8wx.jpeg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmNs3sLdbR87VzD5TmNbCFZyW9zQtUXod2q6UdnEe2QHja/7258xSVeJbKkzXhyseBP4PYz11eBDT8sW2oR1a4vfVFS6JTjNgt1Z7N8TFGSUexiRnYVgzfxYCvHAkv8XVYvYVoXpgFoUGm5GoUXHjBTSzgSFrqRyXkRjios6TUgAsrvQxSXqMbTKg8wx.jpeg)[Source](https://steemitimages.com/0x0//https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQme8QtMSTMemsohkW7Q9j4eVs7UwniEZbtw7tjXxJjH22y/IMG_20241023_160520~2.jpg) I also love playing soccer, table tennis, basketball and other forms of sporting activities. On boring days, you can find me surfing my phone and watching TikTok videos or movies on YouTube and Netflix. And Maybe blogging on paid platforms like this one. I also write stories in books, create comical series and make up bedtime stories for children 😎😂. I'm very good at crafts making. Like building houses, cars, structures and decorative artwork with cardboard. Seems I have a lot of talent. But those are just a few. Because I'm currently learning how to play the keyboard and guitar. Cooking? We're you about to ask? 😂😂 Yeah, boys like me can cook. That'll be my first post after this one. Okay , that's enough about my self. Consequently, you'll get to know more about @us-andrew... See you in my next post Bye!!!!!!
