My Passion for Community Steered Me to Steemit

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)

Mabuhay! Welcome to my page!

I couldn't wait to get myself into this community the moment it was described by my close colleague, @ybanezkim26. Following the contents of my other friends, @legendarryll and @thegaillery, I realized that there's an indefinite expanse to what your mind can tell and sure a platform like this would be perfect for anything possible.

My name is Queen from the Philippines and I am a chemical engineer by profession. Although I immerse myself 8hrs, 5-6 days into profuse technical endeavors and decision-making, I largely feed myself with thoughts of better ways to spend my free time. On weekdays, I engross myself with chemicals, reports and journals; weekends, conversely, are about trying to squeeze a quick trail run, a 20-lap swim or another form of activity.

My decision to join the Steemit community is essentially attributed to my growing passion for the kids, education, and the community.

Last 2014, I spearheaded Project LIBRO, a community-extension service program which aimed to install mini-libraries in remote rural schools in Cebu. With the support of my organization, University of San Carlos Chemical Engineering Society (USCChES), the project currently has 3 beneficiary schools and has received national recognition after being one of the finalists in the 2016 TAYO (Ten Accomplished Youth Organization) Awards. Since then, a lot of opportunities has opened up for schools and students in the form of facility improvements and partnerships.

I hope that by joining this platform, we will be able to expand the support for rural areas and inspire others as well by sharing the same passion for the community.

The details of the program, its sustainability and how this project became the foundation of my goals and aspirations will be featured in my future contents.

For now, let's make this quick acquaintance be a portal to possibilities between you and me. Cheers!

Thanks @legendarryll! Brighter future ahead for Project LIBRO!

Wow. This is amazing @queenielee. I'm so proud of all your endeavors. Thank you very much for being an inspiration to us, and to the Filipino children

Welcome to steemit @queenielee. Have a great time here!

welcome to the community!!! can't wait to see your future posts! :)

Thank you for your warm welcome and kindwords!

Welcome to Steemit @queenielee. I really appreciate what you are doing for the kids. Indeed, we should introduce to children the love for reading. That's one of the best things we can do for them 😀

Exactly, @raquelita. One primary goal of the project is to develop the reading comprehension of the students. With this, we believe students can transcend farther.

Welcome to Steemit, @queenielee!

Wow, I am so impressed by everything that you are doing. The fact that you are a chemical engineer is really neat and I would love to hear more about it. Still finding time for physical activities is such a wonderful thing. I think that project LIBRO is absolutely incredible. What a beautiful thing to see those children enjoying the books!

Hello welcome to Steemit! I have had a great experience so far and I hope you do too! There are a couple of things I wish I was made aware of when I first joined. Ill bring up some uncommon things I've at least noticed people don't mention too often.

  1. Steemworld.org/@(your username)
    -a (nearly) complete interactive page that gives you a better overall experience and overview of what is really happening on your steem page.
    -steemstats is not that good
    -steemviz is a good pending payout site(does not include curation but has total pending payout including comment payouts)

  2. steemengine.net
    -in my experience voting on steemengine.net does not give or bring better upvotes in a significant manner to make using your voting power worth it. HOWEVER...the followers gained is unreal. I gained 50 just yesterday. If you want you can use my referal link not required though...

    https://steemengine.net/join?r=633

  3. steemit school with @dobartim and @flysky https://discord.gg/q9VEn5n
    A very informative and supportive group of people for minnows. Its fairly new but great basic support and tips there not to mention lots of contests and giveaways and love!

  4. if your going to buy upvotes for post promotion try and follow grumpy cat and his rules...
    -https://steemit.com/grumpycat/@mikel2la1/grumpy-cat-making-a-difference

These are some uncommon things I wish I was made aware of early on when I first joined! I wish you the best and much success here helping us all grow this amazing platform!

Hi sis @queenielee! I never knew that you wrote so well. I hope you'll share more of your passions on this platform. Now that you're here, I will send to you the SBDs that my post about project Libro had accumulated. When time permits, you can count on my full support for the project :)

Hi sis @thegaillery! Wow, this is a huge compliment coming from you. I appreciate your support for Project LIBRO. Let us keep working together to spread this passion for the community.
