I was introduced to this site through a daily question and answer game, Crowdini (@crowdini), that is experimenting with Steemit as a platform. I am intrigued by the development of a social news/content sharing site with intentional curation and trying to wrap my head around the concept of cryptocurrency.
Who Am I?
I am a Midwest-born Colorado transplant currently occupying the front-range with aspirations of eventually disappearing into the Rocky Mountains. I am in the process of trying to find my personal balance between being a force of good in society and ultimately checking out of it.
So far this has worked out by teaching high school science and being involved in the fight for educational equity 9.5 months out of the year and using my summers off to do things like backpack 500 miles across the Colorado Rockies or ride my bike coast to coast. In both my classroom and my life I advocate for education through experience and like to learn as I go.
Why Am I Here?
I am a teacher by profession and find joy in sharing what I have learned with others. I hope to use this site primarily to learn about things I do not know much about and secondarily as a space to share things about subjects I care about.

Welcome to Steemit! You have the same struggle with balance I do. What do we owe to the world for what we have been given and what is our obligation to ourselves. Look forward to more posts, will follow.

Hi Emily,
Welcome to Steemit!
Enjoy.
Hi, I'm fairly new to Steemit and cryptocurrency also. This is a fun place to explore because it is so open to a global audience without the typical country boundaries/barriers on other social media like twitter, facebook, etc. that are sorted by country where people mostly see people from their own country.
Therefore, it can be much more rewarding in several different ways both for education and just for democratic and open access to communication with anyone and everyone who has a computer/smartphone and an internet connection.
I believe that places like Steemit are the future of free/mostly uncensored discourse, in my opinion. Anyway, welcome and I hope you enjoy your experiences here. :)
its nice to meet you. what do you like to write about?
Thank you! I'll write about anything I know about. My hope is to talk about eduction and Backcountry travel
Welcome. My biggest connection to a teacher is with Francis Blondin, because he's into memory sports big time like me.
Do you know him personally?
Yes, I personally handed him the cup of Canadian Memory Champion for the last 2 years, with a handshake.
Welcome onboard, Emily. You can teach us too if you want. Just have fun sharing whatever you enjoy doing the most and also keep sharing your backpacking or biking adventures too. :) Have fun Steeming.
Welcome @emilyljulian! Look forward to hearing about your hiking adventures, steemit is a great place to learn - hope you enjoy it!
