My October As Ecency Guest Curator.

[Photo is mine]
This is my second time as an ecency guest curator for a month.
My first experience was amazing, educative, and interesting.
I got to learn how manual curation is done on hive and how ecency can easily access posts that are boosted with ecency points.
Yes, my first experience was when the ecency post boost was functioning.
I enjoyed that month and hoped to be a guest curator for a month again.

Life happened, time passed, and I was so engaged with offline activities.
I wasn't really active on Hive until recently.
I even thought that there wasn't anything like the ecency guest curator since the post boost wasn't active anymore.
Then, I saw the ecency guest curator internship application for the month of October.
I was so excited I didn't want to miss the opportunity, I quickly rushed to Discord and applied.

I hoped and wished to be selected, so you can imagine how excited I was when I was selected.

The journey began so well.
I found that ecency changed their pattern of manual curation by supporting post published through ecency, which is so cool.
Because I was wondering how the curation is done, without ecency points post boost.
So, you are at advantage when you publish a great post through the ecency frontend.

What I benefited as an ecency guest curator

Regular Discord login.

Being an ecency guest curator made me to regularly login to Discord, unlike before that I hardly check Discord.

Daily reading of amazing post

I always find it difficult when it comes to finding a great post.
The fact is, I hardly even go through post, I was engrossed in waves and short post.
But being a guest curator changed that, I had to read long post most times, almost all the time.
And yes, through reading these posts, I learnt a lot and enjoyed knowing new things.
And these things are from lovely people in various parts of the world 🌎
Yes,I also made new friends through engaging in amazing posts.

Top in leaderboard

I comfortably and easily maintained top 1 on the ecency leadership for three consecutive weeks.
Yes, the comments I enjoyed while curating gave me points to climb the leaderboard.
I do curating daily, so my comments and votes made way for me, in addition to my engagement on waves.
So, I enjoyed all these benefits in a cool way.

Having a sense of responsibility

Some days after being selected to be a guest curator for October, I also started a safety course online, which the assessment was near(same in October).
I joined Crowd Management Unit(CMU) in church, which was kinda demanding.
I was also working in the hospital, with other little added tasks.
I could wake up in the morning and start trying hard to meet up with the required task for the day.
Electricity is a big challenge, I could fight to charge my power bank my saving grace.
Luckily for me, my phone charges fast, so when I see little opportunity to charge my phone.
I am able to manage it well.

I know there are a few things I have forgotten to mention.

The main thing is, I am super grateful for October and for the great opportunity to be an ecency guest curator for the month of October.

Thank you very much, the @ecency team and the entire hive family.
I am glad to be here🥰🥰😍💕

Let's have a great one.
