The Power of Steemit (My Intro; My Story)

[oliviaderrico]

I've been sitting here, staring at a blank page for the past half hour.

Who thought it could be so hard to introduce yourself to the Steemit community (you lovely steemians). I mean, isn't it supposed to be easy to state what defines you as a person? Probably. I just prefer going above and beyond in details, hoping to turn my introduction into a story (the story of who I am, and how I became that person).

---

So.... Let's start!

Who I am

A 22 year old French-Canadian, an ambitious business student and a aspiring show jumper (I am indeed a horse-lover). I have been studying Marketing and International Business for about three years now. Other than horses, I love cars, blogging, photography, food, reading and much more.

My passion (short and sweet)

Horses have always been a big part of my life. I started competing in show jumping in 2005. For the past two years, and up to last September, I was competing in the big(ger) leagues with my amazing horse, a ten year old Selle-Français mare who has taught me countless life lessons.

I had to make a big decision last year: focus on school or riding (as my career). Although horses are my life, my main goal was always to complete an M.B.A. and build up a very accomplished career, so I went with school. I will post more about this decision later on.

What you can expect from me on Steemit

I was introduced to Steemit last week and am beyond excited to be a part of this community. I look forward to sharing my life and interests with everyone. I recently started a blog most relevant to people passionate about horses, but figured that since I enjoy writing so much and have far more interests, I could connect with a lot of people on Steemit! My goal is to get my amazing readers to join this platform and connect with everyone.

If you follow me and my posts, you can expect:

• Travel
• Business
• Cryptocurrency
• Lifestyle
• Cars
• Food
• Photography
• Etc.
