It’s time to announce the ones who were chosen for my mentorship program!
There were 36 applicants, which was about 7 times as many as last time - I didn’t expect that. And if there’s great demand, I have to be a bit picky to use my time as efficiently as possible.
To choose my mentees, I first checked if they fit the general requirements (some applied and said they’d post about something else than science …), then I read the “Tell me something about yourself!” part. I included this prompt in my application form mainly because I wanted to see people make an effort. I’m going to spend a whole week on you, I need to know if you’re willing to put in some work yourself.
It was important to me, that the applicant will also write about a topic that I either now about or am at least vaguely interested in. Working with someone on a post and knowing nothing about the topic myself significantly decreases the quality of my help. So if you weren’t picked, don’t be sad, we were probably just incompatible.
9 people were finally chosen, and this is the order in which my “chosen ones” will be mentored:
- @katerinaramm
- @donaldpete
- @fololade
- @dexterdev
- @treslotos
- @iamkuyaj
- @pangoli
- @bachuslib
- @mrbreeziewrites
This does not correspond to specific dates!
What now?
I will contact you about a week before I have time for you to confirm if you too have time. If you need to turn down a specific time frame, I’ll just switch your place with the next in line. You will not lose your mentorship just because you’re busy when I am not!
Please keep in mind that I will be working on my bachelor thesis till July, which means I won’t be able to mentor one person each week, there will be breaks. Messaging me and asking when it’s your turn will not make it come faster. @suesa
If you haven’t shared your discord/steemit.chat name with me yet, please do so in a comment so I can contact you when it’s time. If you have questions, feel free to shoot me a message but please understand that I won’t be available for daily smalltalk.
I’m looking forward to working with all of you!
Having a sense of humor and making us feel important at the same time is what I like about you.
"Here you go, take this sword and go slay the evil which threatens the world."
And just like in every good story in which the Chosen One saves the world, instead of doing the main quest you're messing around, throwing chickens in the yard and chatting with pointless NPCs.
Yes, I should start now to come up with something worth reading. But we are "chosen nine" who were selected from 7 times larger group than the first time. And a cat has nine lives. There's no point in messing up with numbers.
@suesa For users who live within the community and who spend 70% of their time creating content that is focused on informing, educating or entertaining. We will always find in these users a commitment and dedication to the growth of the platform, this has an enormous potential in the medium term, since constant and quality work can introduce us to a world of opportunities, where we will also be able to meet different people who are in seeks more knowledge and also want to share with other users that sea of ideas, to create a universe where power is knowledge and our only weapons are the passion to create.
During my time at Steemit I have learned a lot and this has changed the way I see things, everything arrives in its moment no matter the time or the place everything depends on the opportunities that may arise and the capacity we have for take advantage of 100%.
We can build a tower of ideas and turn them into reality, if we focus on what we want it sounds like something that only happens in movies but the truth is that in Steemit dreams can come true, with motivation and vision to the future to achieve what we want.
Within Steemit there are endless projects that have great ideas, others that are in full growth as well as some projects with more humanitarian purposes that really leave the name of steemit at the top of the world filling the entire community with pride . These projects generate enough energy in this platform to continue working on innovative projects. This brings a great responsibility, since our most loyal followers are waiting for good content and ideas that can help us grow as a group and we can share this knowledge with the other users that make up the Steemit family.
Congratulations to all winners. Such a great opportunity you got here!

I'm a bit sad that I wasn't among the chosen ones, I'd probably get picked next time. Thanks to @suesa for this selfless mentoring initiative. You rock
Perhaps the future I will try keberuntangan it. I am one who joined in steemit a few months ago. I am a lecturer at universities in Aceh. maybe later I can help you.
Congratulations to the lucky ones, I look forward to being on the next set of non scientist.
Congrats people you guys are lucky :)
Wow.... I'd love to be part of this, too bad I wasn't aware
Congratulation them for winning person.
Congrats to the winners, best of luck, well done to you @suesa you are a star

"Tell me something about yourself" part was me. Genuinely, I did not know what to say. But Congratulations to all the selected. Nevertheless, will try again the next time, if i happen to fall again under the category. :)
Congrats all the winners for the opportunity to be mentored by a great Steemian @ suesa.
You are among the few who add value to Steemit,kudos to the great work.
Suesa you are a wonderful teacher, boss, leader, and friend. You are everything one could look for in a good mentor. You groom some users here to sound professionals on steemit, which is a nice thing, Thanks for being a good mentor and for guiding people on the right path. I will always be thankful to you.! congratulations to the winners.
I'm so glad i was chosen! Thank you for the opportunity to learn dear. Here's to giving it my best shot!
WoW! Thank you for selecting me @suesa . 😃
Thanks for selecting me. Looking forward to learn something from you. Excited!! :)
I am honored to even be considered and so excited to make it to the list!
I found your mentor ship opportunity something worth sharing with the world, after I saw it from @dexterdev (who is also selected!) and I could not miss the opportunity to contact you expressing my thoughts.
It was a spontaneous action (which I do not always do) but I am so happy I did it!
I want to say that people contributing their personal time into steemit, helping other people are really important. Without them, steemit would be a very different place...
Thank You & Congratulations to Everyone!
Let's expand our horizons and take a dip into knowledge!
Συγχαρητήρια @katerinaramm congrats!
Those who will be chosen must be very lucky for they will have a good mentor. I'm happy to see you mentoring or sharing your knowledge with others @suaesa.
I missed this one how I wish I could be included as one of those you will mentor.
I really need someone to guide me as I am beginning to be discouraged with what is happening to me here on #steemit as far as my earnings is a concern. I felt my time was being wasted. Good thing I have a group to be taken cared of. I am doing my best to be of help to the members even in my own little ways...
Lesson number one: if you're only in it for the money (and don't invest a lot yourself) you'll be really disappointed sooner or later. No mentorship will ever change that.
I agree but I still believe that without guidance and a bit of instruction from people who know the platform very well and how it actually works would make someones' journey here on #steemit a bit harder and somewhat discouraging.
That is why with my little knowledge I am doing my best to be of help to our group members who joined weeks after me.
Thank you for your reply.
Ms. @suesa, i don't know what to say. (screaming inside, waaa)
Anyways, I read this post just know since i have to rest my eyes because i was infected by sore eyes.
Thank you very much for choosing me. It's really an honored to be mentored by you. Looking forward to it. (Yey!)
Thanks again and have a great day ahead!
I am so honored to be one of the 'chosen ones'.. I appreciate your kind gesture. Looking forward to the program.

i love your points , the post is too organized, you make pround on @steemit
Mind Blowing stuff & exhilarated!
This seems untrustworthy, so I'm considering flagging this.
I like the idea but the automated @tts has weird pauses and is generally unpleasant to listen to. I would upvote this if you were a humen reading the post :)
