Hi, I am Christian Yocte, turning 30 on February 19th. I have been on steemit for 2 months already.
When I was studying in college I experience the goodness and generosity of other people. As a working student, I know how difficult is budgeting. I only received 2000 pesos for 15 days of working. That amount of money is my 15-day budget for food, fare, tuition, and school projects. There are really times when the budget was not enough but there were also people who supported me in my difficult plight.
- My classmates were generous enough to provide the materials I need in school to do our projects.
- My managers and co-workers were ready to lend me money for fare.
- My ex girlfriend who live in the states sent me money to pay for my student-teacher uniform.
- My family who has always been there to help me.
Now, I am a professional teacher. I owe this to the people who have helped me! So, I am also doing my best to help other people now - especially my students.
I have an outreach program every December where I feed children and host a children's party for them. I am also very active in the church as a youth leader and a lector in our parish. These are my ways to give back to the people who have helped me succeed in one way or another.
Wow what a journey you have had, you have come so far! I love how you are giving back to the people who have helped you succeed. This is my first month on steemit and it has been great. I am also just about to finish college and have been on a very strict budget. It seems we have a few things in common!
Its nice to meet you Christian, my name is Chase.

Happy almost belated Birthday just 2 days away from mine. I know how tough it is being a student and working to support yourself. Luckily in Florida I was able to land some decent paying jobs I could only imagine how difficult it is in lower income areas. So glad you made it to become a teacher and are helping the youth.
Thank you very much. It was real difficult during those times but I thank God I made it. Now I am glad that I am the one helping.
Wow, what a great story! Pretty amazing that you have accomplished so much in your education and career! It’s great that you give back so much and even throw a party for the kids!
The kindness of people I met in the process taught me so much. my little help cannot really pay.
