Hullo, ace!
First off, welcome to Steemit!
You'll be wanting to post a verification photo of yourself in another introduction post (it can be shorter since you already did this one). In the photo you should be holding a sheet of paper with 'Steemit' written on it, your username, and the date. This is done to stop scammers and fake accounts.
But welcome. If you come from such a hard working background as you say, then you'll have no trouble succeeding on this platform.
Thank you @jenkinrocket. I will post one of a pic in it once I figure out how to post pictures. This markdown stuff is confusing
Sigh. Alas, it is. You can find some pretty good tutorials online.
For now, just now that you can pretty much just post the link to a picture and it'll show the picture. You can check it out in the post's preview window. And if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask me!
