Hello Everyone!!
I am @elshgrce, a newbie here at Hive and this is my story. If you're someone who's afraid to try new things, then we are similar. Trying out new things is really not my thing since I was a kid. I was the shy kid growing up, but what can I say? There's no harm for trying right? Even if the feeling of being left behind by others will stay, everyone will always have the chance to get what they wanted. Life will never be race, so there will always be a first time in everything. If you're someone like me, then don't worry, because something will go in your way at the right moment. I hope that we can all get along and build meaningful connections with each other.
About Me
Are you curious about who I am? Well, worry not because I will tell you all about myself. So, my name is Elisha Grace and you can just call me by my nickname Shang or Ishang. I am a 1st year student, currently taking Bachelor of Science in Psychology at Cebu Roosevelt Memorial Colleges. I just turned 18 this year, on June 25 and we actually went swimming on my 18th birthday. It was really fun since I get to be with my SHS friends. I have a brother and I am the youngest child out of the 2 of us. I'm currently living in my hometown, in the Northern part of Cebu called Bogo City.
Based on the personality test that I took way back in August, I am an ENFP but despite being labeled as an extrovert, I am quite shy to new people and I don't approach others first. I'm in between an extroverted and introverted person since I can recharge my social battery with other people like my close friends but at the same time I can also recharge just by being by myself. I'm pretty social with my close friends and my extroverted side will really show, unlike when I'm surrounded with the people I'm not comfortable with.
Hobbies
I really love playing online games, like Mobile Legends, Genshin Impact, Valorant or even Roblox. It is one of my favorite things to do on my free-time or times when I'm stressed and bored. Through playing online games, it gave me a connection to other people, either to the people I know in real-life or simply through online. I haven't played Genshin Impact and Valo for a while now since my storage couldn't handle it anymore, but I still do play other games since I really consider it as my Therapy.
Nowadays, I'm only active on ML and occasionally on Roblox since my phone can still handle them. I also have friends to play with so I really need to manage my storage properly, especially on Mobile Legends. Other than eating, playing games really have a huge impact on my life like being my comfort thing and I am so thankful for that. If anyone would like to play with me on Mobile Legends or Roblox, then feel free to add me, just follow and message me there and say that you found me here at my intro blog.
I used to go to the gym way back during my Grade 11 to 12 days and I really liked the energy there. The people are really friendly and understanding to the newbies.
They are not afraid to help others especially people new to the gym like me and my friends before. Gym is also one of the things I really loved doing, but when I reached College, I went hiatus since I need to be more involved here now that I joined the APS (Association of Psychology Students) Council.
I joined on our Department's Organization and I am currently the Mass Media Officer 2. This is actually my first time joining something like this so I'm quite new to how orgs work. But I am trying to give what I can to the organization and be responsible for my actions.
At first, I got scared to try something out of my comfort zone but something in my mind kept saying that I will regret this if I don't try it, so i just made up my mind and tried despite having no experience at all. I've meet a lot of new people because of the organization which made me more social to others and become more approachable. I actually learned to love what I do as an MMO 2 like making Pubmats for our page and make captions.
Reason for Joining
I joined Hive because I really wanted to enhance and practice my writing skills since it is connected with what I do in the organization. I got interested in here actually since it can also help me enhance my writing ability and to gain experiences. It can also be a way for me to find the right words to communicate what I felt. Other that that, I was actually already interested in making blogs, but once again, too scared to do so. This is the first time where I gained up the courage to try and of course I was also influenced by my peers.
The things that I can contribute here is my time and energy for sharing my daily life. I can also be a figure where people can find comfort in my writing and be the reason why they won't feel like they are all alone. Life is tough, but with certain people in our lives, it can become more bearable. Let's not forget that there will always be people who would stay with us, either it may be our family, friends, or even our significant other.
I was introduced to Hive by my close friend mr. @junnyjun when he told us his experiences with blogging in this site. We've met this year during our college years, and it seems like we've known each other for a long time. When I first saw him in class, it was during our day 2 of the starting week of classes when we introduced ourselves to the whole class and had an activity. He's fun to be around with and there's no days that we are not laughing, together with 2 of our other friends.
I also joined the orientation of Ms. @jeanmazing and the orientation was really informative. It was a good start for me as a newbie since I started off with no information to this kind of stuffs. She taught us the do's and don't in Hive and what we should expect. I'm really thankful because she helped me a lot and she even told us how we can be more engaging to others, in order to boost one another's confidence in ourselves. She also gave us tips to enhance our writing and how we can improve our abilities.
At first, I was hesitant to try this because I'm not confident enough with my writing. It felt like it wasn't enough or I wasn't good enough to try something like this. But then again, I realized that If I would keep on letting fear block my path for growth, I know that at the end of the day, I would regret my decision for the rest of my life.
It's better to fail while trying, than not trying at all. We should not let the fear of failure be the reason for our downfall, because mistakes mold us into who we are today. Let's learn to accept our mistakes and become the best version of ourselves. This marks as the end of my introduction and I hope we can find a connection with one another. Have a nice day Everyone!
