RE: Win a Free Trip to Lisbon, Portugal to Attend SteemFest II

in #steemfest7 years ago (edited)

I was just a regular kid who didn't fit in with the 'cool' guys. But that wasn't a problem when I was younger, It was when I got older. For me it was really difficult to find a job because I was really shy and not physically strong enough. I had few friends (and still have) that I have spent my free time with (and still spending). But yeah.. I needed money.. And my only source of money were my parents. But my parents couldn't give me it every time I needed money... Ok... enough of crying..


Why I'd like to go? Well my sisters husband who is really close to me that I can even call him my big brother (he is a big steemit user now @good-karma), showed me this site. I used it for my English improvement since it's not my native language. But one thing I noticed is.. That from learning and gaining experience for my English language I also started earning money. Which I didn't even expected. Well yeah it wasn't a lot. But it was something.. For me, a teen that never ever have earned something. In almost a year I learned a lot about steemit. I have started earning even more reward. But of course my growing follower base is more important than that since it really feels good to know that some people actually like what I do.
So now, when there is a chance for me to show my parents that I started 'making a living' I would really like to use this opportunity and make my parents proud. That their son has reached something.. (really weird to write this sentence). And if I get an opportunity I will take my parents to steemfest with me.


*P.S I know that I went off topic a bit.. But I hope you still understand me.
