GTKM: Getting To Know Me

namranna (49)in #introduceyourself • 7 years ago

Hello to you! Yes, YOU!

This might be the first time that you get to read a post from me, might as well give me this opportunity to let you know more about me.

Let's start start from the basics...

I am Arman Ann Trazo, @namranna -- 22, Electronics Engineer, Private Math Tutor, an Entrepreneurial Enthusiast, Personal Development Promoter/Fanatic and above all, a Work in Progress.

Ooops, maybe you're now having ideas about me being an Electronics Engineer. You might be thinking of diodes, resistors, schematic diagrams, semiconductors and the like, or even antennas.

Sorry to tell you, I've already buried most of them in the Land of Forgotten Lessons. Haha, just to note also, I do not repair TVs or any electronic gadgets. Still, I am proud I survived 5 years of BS Electronics Engineering. That being said, you might be wondering where am I right now? Well, I'm here in my room writing a post for steemit. Haha :D

Kidding aside, I am currently developing myself in the I.T Industry and working as a Developer in one of the best I.T company worldwide. You've read it right, I am still "developing myself". I'm still a newbie in this kind of job and I am no pro at reading/constructing codes but I am trying and learning in the best way I can. Programming didn't interest me when I was still in college but really, I have appreciated it so much in this point of my life.

Moving forward, I am also into accepting Math Tutorial sessions. I have started tutoring students so young and now that I am older, it is just so hard to stop. Tutoring has really made a special place in my heart.

Aside from Filipino tutees, I've also had tutees of different nationalities already, such as, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Americans and English. Well, all of these experiences were one-on-one tutorial sessions, I haven't tried online tutorials though because of two reasons: First, I lack resources to use for online sessions and Second, I prefer live interactions with students. Anyhow, if ever given the chance to do online sessions now, maybe I can make arrangements.

I am also an entrepreneurial/business enthusiast. Never in my past life have I dreamt of being an entrepreneur. I hated selling when I was young not until the turning point that served as my inspiration to love entrepreneurship. I was also greatly influenced by my boyfriend from his newly found interest-- business and investing. After I graduated college and passed the country's board examination, in my journey as an unemployed graduate without experience, I have come to appreciate the beauty behind the idea of business, profits and especially service. I have come to realize that one great avenue of service for others is through entrepreneurship. It is not just about selling and making sales, but it is also about how many people you've reached through your products/services and helping each of them address their individual needs even without your presence. How great is that!

Why am I here?

I like writing, I like sharing and I like earning (Hahaha). It is just so amazing to know that these three are combined here in Steemit! I am truly happy to discover that this kind of platform exits, wherein I can share my heart out at the same time earn because of it.

I have already liked writing, even though my write-ups are just for essay contest and composition writing for High School. Well, my future write-ups would still be stuck in my head and never getting into a medium if not because of my mighty and amazing friend @smaeunabs. I am very grateful and thankful for she is very diligent in encouraging me to join this amazing platform. She has this astounding vision to spread how great the Steemit world is and yeah, she's taking it seriously!

Thank you so much @smaeunabs! I am so proud of what you become right now and I am looking forward to share the same thoughts with you about financial literacy and spreading the good news about Steemit.

My views about Steemit

I have done some minor research about Steemit, but unfortunately, I cannot picture out the system aside from knowing that I can blog anything here and earn. I have come across terms such as SBD and steempower that really sound alien to my ears. As of this writing, I have not fully grasp the idea of these because I am not that familiar when it comes to crypto-currencies.

Let me again thank my friend @smaeunabs, she willingly gave me a glimpse of the bigger picture and made me look at earning and sharing from another perspective. She made me understand and at least helped me connect the dots on how this platform works. You can read more from her posts!

Furthermore, I strongly believe that experience is the best teacher and I am living it up to Steemit to make me understand further. I wanted you to know guys that I am beyond willing. My fellow steemians, feel free to enlighten me more along this shared journey.

What can I contribute to the Steemit Community?

1. Book/Conference/Seminar Reviews

Since higschool, I have already found joy in reading books. It's just that now, I have shifted my preferred genre from adventure, magic and love stories into inspirational and motivational ones. Also, reading about business & investments, personal development, self-improvement and personal finance are so welcoming and felt like home. With this, I am thrilled to share to you my reviews, realization and learning from the books that I have read of the famous to not-so-famous authors and from the events that I have attended. At least, I can help you what books to read if ever you find my review worthy.

2. Financial Literacy

When I was still in my college sophomore years, me and my best friend talked about mutual funds and long-term "saving". What do we know about investments? We lacked knowledge and were so young to hunger more about it. I have not focused more about it since I was busy balancing academics and my extra curricular activities. However, the vision came back and became vivid after graduation. I started to love the idea of long term investments and personal finance with the help of my boyfriend who just became a Certified Investment Solicitor (CIS) under one of the known investment companies here in the Philippines.

I will help promote Financial Awareness to my fellow Filipinos in order to at least share to them that it is very important to prepare for the future and to not live it up to what is of the moment.

3. Personal Experiences and anything under the sun

I believe that Steemit is a great platform to share anything!

My Expectations

Upon knowing some background about Steemit, I am expecting 3 Major Things:

1. Build myself through writing/reading/sharing posts.

Steemit consists of different kinds of writers, bloggers and contributors. In connection to this, I am looking forward to learn different things from you my fellow steemian. I am also considering to build my writing skills here, for through your upvotes/comments/interactions, it can improve and boost up my confidence.

2. Build and develop connections.

I am looking forward to share this journey with you! We might have different perspective but I am certain, that at one point, we share similar mindset such as being here at Steemit!

3. Contribute and make an impact to you.

As much as the things that you have contributed in my development and growth as an individual. May you allow me also to contribute to yours. Cheers!

You reading this is priceless. This is my first post and your comments regarding my post will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much and "read" you around! :D
