Samuel said, "I did not think
about that while joining the
social media. What I thought of
was to get a new media where I
could have a voice. I saw social
media as a new media where
you could have a voice without
necessarily spending all your life
savings. We tried normal
television for a long time but it
was not working. We had to
spend a lot of money and my
uncle's job could not afford that
always so we had to look for
other ways to be heard."
She said there is no problem combing fame with school "They don't clash. I am
still a kid and I am happy that my
uncle is not treating me like an
adult but a child that I am. I think
things can only go wrong when
they start treating me like an
adult because I cannot become
one overnight. Nothing has really
changed about me since I
became popular. The only
difference is that I am not usually
at home most weekends because
there are several events I have to
attend. When I am home, I live
my normal life and I am not
treated like a celebrity except
occasionally when some people
in my area see me and tell me
they love my videos. I don't have
any issue with being popular. It does not affect my
school that much. During this
holiday, I have started shooting
for next season so when I
resume school, I will just begin to
release the videos. By doing this,
it does not clash with my school
work. It is only when I have an
emergency shoot that I can be
permitted to shoot when school
resumes and it is usually on
Fridays."
