Don't let your age deter your self-esteem and worth!
This post is a response to one of my students learning how to #format an #ebook from #doc to #epub, #mobi and #kindle formats. He reached out to me and said he's frustrated at the level of respect accorded him by people he considers "seniors".**

So I replied:
"Don't let your age deter your self-esteem and worth!
While I was a teenager of 16 years in the university, I was asked to become the teens teacher of the church I attended.
Even people I regarded as my uncles and aunties were referring to me as Sir.
Most hilarious was when I gathered courage to ask a friend how old he thinks I was.
He said "24years!"
And I had just turned 17 by then. I couldn't believe it but I could tell he was speaking truthfully.
So that taught me:
There are things people see in you that takes you light-years ahead of time and your age and makes them regard you as such.
Accept it, then work on yourself to exceed your expectations and theirs!
You'll be fine. 😁
...
I hope that these helps him.
What other advice do you have for him?
Kindly comment below and resteem for others to also assist.
Thank you💪
