There are set of four questions which touches the subject of axie infinity and it's importance in the life of scholars.

QUESTION 1-What factors bought you into gaming?
ANSWER- I really want to earn money as early as possible. People around me tend to say I should just enjoy my youth by everytime I look at my parents, I cannot think I should be hanging around. They are getting older day by day and I want to give them a good life as soon as possible. So, I was looking for a way to earn money online while studying. I stumbled with freelancing, forex trading and crypto. But, the problem is I got money to start. Until I saw a vid on Tiktok about Axie Infinity. I search stuffs about it and I started looking for a scholarship.

QUESTION 2- What you did to gain scholarship by axie buzz and how you felt after receiving it?
ANSWER- Being part of Axie Buzz is actually a very unexpected event for me because papa Buzz was actually not my prospect that time because I was eyeing 2 other managers. I was just randomly tagging him in my axie infinity memes. And one day, I was shocked he messaged me to join the discord. Since then, I continued posting memes until he said Im on the waiting list. Actually, same day that day I sent an application form in other guilds and 1 week after that I passed. But,, I rejected the offer because I don't want to break papa Buzz's trust. I told him he have my trust for trusting me first. (Shout out to you man!)

QUESTION 3- What additions/changes did this scholarship bought into your life?
ANSWER - The scholarship gave me the chance. The chance to give my family a better life. The chance to save time by earning money now and the chance to meet people virtually. In addition, the game itself made me test my patience, train my critical thinking skills, and my time management.

QUESTION 4- What set of advices will you give to anyone out there looking to grow in their lives?
ANSWER- Just do it. The hardest part of starting something is starting. Because we're afraid of starting, we end up being stagnant. Don't be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble -- just take the first step and everything will follow.
