You made it, friend. I appreciate you joining me today as I share my heart and what has been on my mind lately.
Over the past couple weeks, I decided to run a couple giveaway contests to give back and bless the Steem community.
I have to say that I was absolutely blown away by the responses received on those posts. Thank you for participating and for helping me celebrate hitting major milestones in my Steem journey.
With that said...I want to do something fun. I want to know you better and more intimately. Friends are priceless to me, and I want to know you on a deeper level so that we can have a real connection here on Steem. Also, I want to share my Steem with a couple people who participate in this activity.
I am giving away 5 Steem each to 2 different Steemians who take part in this activity. I may have said differently in my video but I changed my mind after filming.
Here's what to do:
1 - Leave a comment below telling me something interesting about yourself. Let me in on who you are and what your background is. Share your hopes, dreams, passions, ideas, family life, business life, etc.
I will then do my best to leave a comment on your comment, letting you in on a piece of my life that I want to share with you.
2 - (optional) Feel free to follow @kenmelendez if you haven't already so that you can stay up to date with more giveaways and activities I run in the future.
3 - (optional) Resteeming this post helps me to get to know even more Steemians across the globe. I appreciate resteems in this activity but it is not required.
Participation on your end is important to me, as I want to build genuine connections here on this incredible blogging platform. I want to be able to encourage you and inspire you on your Steem journey.
Last day to participate is Saturday, June 9th.
I want to be that person who supports your passions and plays a large role in your future successes. Join in on the fun and leave that comment below about yourself.
Looking forward to reading and commenting on each response below. I hope that this post cheered up your day and that you are blessed because of it.
I love you friend. I care about you and appreciate you.
Until next time, remember...You Are Awesome.
Take care.
-Ken

Hi I'm going to be honest at first I'm clicking your video because of the cool color of your Dtube t-shirt but I listen to you all now so I would like to enter the contest :)
My Name is Anne and I come from Thailand. I'm so happy to be here. Age is just the number by the way haha. I started my dtube channel not so long ago but I try to post almost everyday. I'm a super busy person though I have so much work. I never want to stop doing something I'm a hyperactive person and I wish 1 day have 48 hours or I wish our body don't have to sleep. Maybe one day we can charge the battery and still can use our body in the same time haha. Now It's 5 am. I'm still working. I just like to do so much stuff but time .
I love to work(you might think I'm crazy nobody like to work lol) ,doing art , start to love editing videos now, I love enduro motocross , I love travel, I like to learn about nature and I love nature. I like to learn about crypto but still not confidence to make video about it yet. I love cooking and for sure I love to eat too. The most important thing is I love to improve myself in anything I'm interested to. I believe everyone can do everything if they are put the heart in it.
Nice to meet you !
I don't know so many of guys here I focus on ladies in the past. I think its time for me to start to know more guy friends in here. :P
See you around :)
@anne-c glad you like my DTube shirt. I will be doing a giveaway post for a free DTube shirt in the near future.
Wow...looks like you are busy! Haha, that's a good thing though, as long as you are being productive at the same time. Creating content can be exhausting, but it is also quite rewarding. So glad to learn more about you. If you had the choice of traveling somewhere...all expenses paid...where would it be?
-Ken
Hi again Ken :)
I would love to go to Amazon River to see all wildlife there. Its kind of scary though but I still really want to see it. What about you?
Hawaii. I want to take my wife there for our 10 year anniversary.
Wow Happy anniversary. Today I just say happy anniversary for another couple on Steemit 14 years of marriage. You guys so lucky you found each other :)
Hi Ken. I appreciate the whole hearted connection here on Steemit. I am 24 and live in the United States. I went to college for finance and work a corporate banking job.
I also have been working out for 12 years and want to bestow my knowledge and encounters over the years to help other people reach their fitness goals ! In just 6 years I went from 150 lbs to about 185 lbs all in muscle, while maintaining the same body fat of 8%!
I also like to post health related articles (alcohol and sugar related), economics, crypto, and personal finance articles as well.
I have been on Steemit for about 6 months. I hope our connection is genuine, and we can both be successful. See you on the top. Cheers!
@jfitmisc Awesome!! I used to be a personal trainer so I know the importance of working out and staying in good health. 150 to 185 is fantastic progress in that amount of time. Do you want to keep working in the corporate world or do you have other passions you'd rather pursue?
-Ken
Oh you did? You have a lot of exp. thank you.
I like the corporate world for now because it is structured, pays very well, and I get to use my mind. Maybe if Steem or crypto takes off and I make a million bucks and live off of the interest, then I'll do something else :P.
I would love my Steem account to grow. Nothing set in stone. I take everything a day at a time.
Hi Ken, great idea! It's awesome getting to know our community better and the people that we actually interact with. It's been great getting to know you in the partner program with Jerry. Below is a quick bio with a little bit more about me and you can visit my latest post here with a full video presentation : https://steemit.com/art/@abrockman/creativemornings-anything-is-possible-or-aj-brockman

"AJ Brockman – Award-winning artist, entrepreneur, and visionary.
Recently named 2017 Young Professional of the Year, Brockman is a highly esteemed entrepreneur and visionary in the Town of Lake Park. He is an award winning digital artist who has been wheelchair-bound since the age of two due to Spinal Muscular Atrophy. In 2012 he had the honor of painting a family portrait of former President Barack Obama. AJ has always viewed himself as being “differently abled” rather than “disabled” and lives life to the fullest every day.
Currently serving as the co-owner of The Brewhouse Gallery & The Kelsey Theater, he has revitalized an entire community through art with the birth of The Lake Park Arts District. His crowning achievement is the over 900-foot continuous mural (taking up an entire city block) which is one of the largest mural projects in South Florida. His commitment to the arts and community is unrivaled.
Brockman is no stranger to the nonprofit world and spent most of his childhood, raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and countless other organizations. Kelsey Cares was the natural progression, to create a legitimate 501©(3) to further his vision. He has already raised over $75,000 without any subsidies or government incentives (with average donation levels of less than $100), which just shows the number of people that have been impacted."
Good on you mate I liked reading that such an inspiration for many my mate here from an accident riding a wild bull here in Australia charge on
@abrockman you are truly gifted my friend. Your incredible artistic nature, combined with your desire to help and serve other people is remarkable. Yes, the partner program has brought us together and I couldn't be more thankful. So glad I got to know you better here and look forward to interacting with you more.
-Ken
What an amazing heart you've got. I did my introductory post yesterday and in here you can know me better. Maybe not all about me, but the best and worst you can know about me is here
https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ladywayne1/meet-ladywayne1-introducing-myself-and-my-foundation-to-the-steemit-community
I hope it's worth your price. Thank you
@ladywayne1 I appreciate you participating here and glad you shared your introductory post with me. Living in Nigeria must be really neat. I like that you share your heart and wish the best for others. Great to meet you Debby, thanks for letting me in on your world.

This is such an amazing write up.
I love steemit contents especially regarding sports, tech savy nd various life hacks.
Great content @kenmelendez
Hey @kenmlendez. It's my pleasure to always participate in your contests and your give away contests are such a great opportunity for a good number of steemians in this platform.
(My picture while promoting steemit)
My name is Munyakazi Jonathan (@jona12) I do study in Uganda but from Rwanda. My life has been so amazing and it's really awesome looking at myself in just few months and the changes that happened to me. Two years back, I didn't have any plan for the future and could just be trying everything that comes my way. I tried agriculture planting cabbages and then after shifting to bee keeping and then after stones in Uganda. I tried all these and had some of bad time and good time. My worse moment was when I had lost all my cabbages due to drought that hit Northern Uganda and my best part was when I really found a small water pump for my plantations.
I would say that I had always wanted to earn some small money as a student and by God's grace I did but couldn't stand for long since I had challenges all facing me up and down, either financial, social, psychological and moral. Well, I still hope for the best in the next season.
I do like mathematics as a student persuing applied statistics. I'm passionate about discovering some hidden truth while doing my research either in the field or using statistical softwares as SPSS, R or STATA.
My life is all amazing and I did found people who really supported me in taugh times. Some even that I've never seen. This made me love people regardless of who they are, tribes or origin. Well in Africa, all these issues happen and all I do is to thank God for every human being all around my life.
Moreover, the precious gift that I would share is that I'm a Christian and I really trust and believe in Jesus Christ. Well, I was trained by my dad and mum and I really treasure that gift. Yeah, it is really hard as we grow up all temptations moving into our lives but I'm thankful that I'm still standing up to now no matter what really stands on my way.
I would share more of myself but in case you are interested in knowing more about me please do not hesitate to contact me on discord @jona12 #3241
Hello, my name is Senouci, I am Algerian, but I live in Russia for more than 8 years, I am on steemit for more than 1 year, on dtube the second month. The thing I am doing is creating a new community that support all dtubers, the project is @dcooperation.
I've done a few interviews with dtubers and I have a discord channel as well, I will be very happy to be a friend of such interesting person. We need powerful people in our community. My skill is to create community, my skill is internet marketing, my skill is to come up with great ideas. ☺
I will not tell you all the details of my life, because it's private, but I can tell you that living for 33 years, I have a big experience to motivate people, because I had a bit hard life and a lot of things happened in it. You are young and full of energy and I like that you are a partner of @jerrybanfield , he is a powerful guy as well.
If you want please let me know and let's make a collaboration together, I like your videos and the ideas that you spread, I am trying to choose the most interesting dtubers to interview, plus I have more than 4500 followers, maybe be you will be interested to be promoted to them. ☺ ( Most people I've invited to steemit and most of them are new, so they need your motivation and inspiration as well. )
wow that's cool,I am looking forward to learn from you and I am so enthusiastic to learn about audience building and internet marketing.
Hi ken!
Well... My name is carlo and im from Venezuela. I am pretty newbie here on steemit btw.
One interesting fact about me (i think so) is that i can speak two languages, i study two different careers, i am DJ/beginner music producer and i like a lot create films; make videos with my friends. Btw, i'm seventeen years old (almost eighteen) and i am such a dreamer.
I think that one of my biggest dreams would be becoming a famous DJ (or famous person) and if it doesn't happen it'd like to be the best film maker/photgrapher.
In my bussines life i work as a DJ and actually im getting some extra money from steemit. My country's situation gets me a little down (in a sentimental way) because is the worst situation i've ever been (in all the ways possible) so im tryna to reach some money to emmigrate.
I think this all i have to say, i like your content and i hope you read my comment. Peace!
Take your dream and make it happen,Hold it strong and shake off the doubt.You can eventually get anywhere you want.
One interesting fact about me is that I was born on an Island and still live there today. The only way to get to the mainland is by using a very slow ferry boat system. Obviously I've left the island a few times but I'm such a home body that I prefer to just stay here!
Get out of your comfort zone buddy,Because
if you don't you will never know How much potential you have,How fast the world is changing,And How great things you can do to the community.And How beautiful life can be outside your comfort zone.
Greetings @kenmelendez
So I am a brand new creator on Steemit & DTube but not new to content creation. I was tipped off to this platform by a friend a month ago and immediately applied for an account which was approved two weeks ago.
I only posted my introduction video post today. I spent the first two weeks just exploring the platform, taking in the content, reading posts, watching videos and while doing this just commenting and engaging with the community. Just by doing this I have built up my reputation to 37,9 in under a week and I have around $7 in rewards curating from just engaging with valuable feedback.
I am proud to be bringing some fresh new entertaining content to Steemit & DTube in the form of Dance & Performing Arts.
I invite you to have a look at my introduction video and look at what I am going to be bringing to the platform. Winning some SP would really help me get the ball rolling with the content I am going to be posting much faster.

hey @kenmelendez , exiting thing i will share with you today about me is tham am a student of Agriculture from the giant of africa , NIGERIA., i always loved agriculture since i was little , so when i grew older and discovered how people were suffering due to scarcity of food , i then went on to the university to study agriculture , am presently in my third year and i wish to feed kids from the whole world and tackle malnutrition.
My name is Oyewo Tobi Emmanuel.. A new beginner in steemit. The account was purposely opened for me and my beautiful wife given by God. My wife takes all the pictures uploaded here on steemit while I do the write up...
My background has been awkward and tough but thank God I'm not the product of what I passed through. Coming from polygamous family is not easy at all, so I have to struggle for my education to university level.
I have a Passion to help the orphanage home which pushed me to give my one-tenth of my salary to them every month. I considered doing this because of the hardship had experienced in life..
My dream in life is to become the president of my country to liberate my people from hardship and also make the orphanage feel important.
On my business life, presently I'm a logistics manager in an haulage firm and also running a rabbits farm in my backyard.. Looking forward to get a land and have it on a large scale.
Hello Ken and to my fellow Steemians , first of all I would like to commend you for initiating another qualify contest. Great Job!
I am Zam by the way from the Philippines, college student and a DREAMER!
So that is me so that you'll have an idea of how I look physically. So basically I'm this nerdy type of person, a book work and a person who just love learning new things. I was raised by my grandparents throughout my 20 years of existence and I am very thankful to have me in my life. They have been through my ups and down and have molded me to be the best version of myself. They motivate and inspires me to achieve my dreams in life.
I can say that I am very courageous and always love to challenge life, I have been through many difficult challenges in the course of life that had made me tougher and braver which also strengthens my connection with God. That no matter what problems and trials we face , there is always hope and solution on it.
I am a dreamer ! Right now I'm am currently in y 3rd year college taking up Bachelor in Arts in History and planning to pursue law school someday. I know it is a very tough road to come but if you have goals and dreams in life, everything is POSSIBLE ❤️.
THANK YOU GUYS❤️ Keep steaming and help one another!
I love how easy it is to give back here and the built in motivation to do it @kenmelendez!
@jerrybanfield we have found such a wonderful person here on steemit. Actually, everyone talk
about him here in Uganda. We believe that he can one day visit us here cause his heart is really incredible. He doesn't have much but shares the little he has.
I did also apply for this contest but I feel blessed even if i'm not selected. Just seing people participating and all yarning for the rewrds makes it awesome to see.
Moreover, when we look at the 5 steem give away here in Uganda, it represents a lot. I actually do earn my life with just a steem dollar per day. Now imagine 5 steem. Totally a miracle with the current income level and unemployment hitting the country.
My prayer is that he should continue but also people should support him too so that he should be more encouraged.
Furthermore, we would love to see also your support towards the uganda team. It will be our pleasure to really see you upvoting our contents and atleast raising the level of unemployment that hit the country currently.
Thanks @jerrybanfield and @kenmelendez

Hi Ken, I am a lecturer in Aceh - Indonesia. When I join steemit I was planning to adopt this platform to the academic atmosphere in any way, but until now seem I don't have enough power to do. So, I am building my power with daily blogging activities on steemit. I hope someday I will bring it into reality and encourage my student to get familiar with a scientific article on steemit.
hello ken, I made a video about 10 things about me for Dtube, It answers your questions and at the end, you will know me better . you can watch it here
://d.tube/#!/v/rogers.advents/5j8teheyHello @kenmelendez, i am @hermannsol. A 22yrs old guy whose passion has always been about computers. I love the computer related fields especially IT. I am a devoted Christian which is one part i never leave behind. I carry it everywhere i go. I love to travel, meet and connect with different people from different places and cultures. Thas is one aspect of steemit i enjoy so much;meeting new people and making new friends.. You asked about dreams so let me state a dream of mine here on steemit. I want to be very successful here on steemit not really for myself alone but to extend a helping hand to others here on steemit and to the world as a whole. It's a secret dream of mine to become the greatest philanthropist ever and everytime i see someone in need, i boil with that passion to stretch out a helping hand. I believe we can change the World through love and showing that love to each other. I have seen a need for change in the world and i want to be that person who can stand up and be the change that i so desire. I want to make a change to my world. That is why many people out there will strive so hard to make it and be rich to make a name for themselves but i want my name written in people's hearts. Even as a minnow on steemit, i have already started supporting newbies here on the platform and as i continue to grow here so will others do through my support and mentoring. I believe i will be a whale soon and will help to raise other whales because that is what i do. My sucess is marked by the success of all others around me.
This is who i am "I am but one shining a light in the darkness".
My name is Uwera Marie(@mariez) and iam 29yrs old.
I was born in Uganda in a family of six and iam a fourth born.
I graduated from nkumba university with a degree in science in journalism but unfortunately for 5years i haven't been able to find ajob because most companies want people with experience.
God has blessed me with 2 amazing children and I have resorted to become a house wife until I get money to put up my own business as I offer the best love to my kids.
I love reading,writing,making new friends,adventure and listening to gospel music.
I hope to become asuccessful business woman in the next 6years.
My dream is to make it big in business and employ other people.
Am so pationate about God and helping people.ie the poor and the sick.
Iam anewbie on steemit.I joined early last months.I was introduced to steemit by my husband who heard it from his workmate.
Am hoping to to make it on steemit and earn my living from steemit since I haven't been able to find ajob.
Thankyou so much for this amazing opportunity @kenmelendez.
With love,
@mariez
I'm really happy to join your contest again. And here is me
