"We all experienced being called first timers. We all have different beginnings, different struggles along the road and even different endings. Some continueDdthe journey and others do not. Some succeeded and some also failed."
I want to share to you my experience here in the steemit community and how I was blessed by it.
I am a person being so curious of everything, observing things that will caught my attention. When my friend Jonathan (@jon24jon24) introduced this steemit to us last October 2017, I got curious of what it was. He just send links that testifies it is a good site that can benifit people and also one where you can find posts with a quality content like inspirational posts, about travels, life etc. Being not so busy that time, I took time to sign up and I just believed in him and followed all his advices on how we will start. Of course as a first timer and slow learner it took me months to be familiar with the site. I dont really know how it is working, what post should I be making, what picture should I be taking, what caption will I put, how will I make it catchy etc. All of those questions ran into my mind. I always asked questions with others like ate @kborillo, @rjd, @dranren , and @jon24jon24 regarding those staffs. With their help I was motivated to continue on. there are also contests in the site which gives me rationale to posts pictures daily. I joined the contests sponsored by @jiliank, @kalemandra, @sol25 and others. Thanks to them because I was given the reason to take photos and make some posts during my first months in the community.
At first, I only get few upvotes from others and I understand because I dont really know how can I earn their upvotes and to put comments on my posts. I even get 0.00 value even if others upvoted. Sometimes I just laugh about that and sometimes also I got disappointed and feeling small about myself. When I saw the posts of others and they are earning a value of 2-3$ I got so motivated. I tolll to myself that I will still try and go on. So again I took photos where ever I am going and just keep posting everyday by joining different photography contests.
Months after, I saw subsequent posts of people who cashed out their money. I got inspired trying to convert my SBD that I have earned and so without much doubts in mind, with the help of @ankarlie and @rjd, I was able to cashed out also my first money (16, 732. 00) in steemit through Cebuana. Nights before I will be widrawing the money, I wasn't able to sleep well. I thought about it for how many hours if is it really true that I can hold in my hand that cash of money. So I prayed to God if this is really His blessing to me. When I was waiting inside the office of Cebuana, my heart beats so fast, my knees shakes and my hand is getting cold that time. What if they will question it, what if there is really no money.. haha.. but when the machine sounds on as it counts the money then I was relieved and thanking God for that big big blessing He entrusted me.
Having the money in my hand, I separated the 10% of it for my tithes and i used the other money to buy food for my family and other relatives. We even had a good day with my boyfriend because we enjoyed our food trip. I was able also to buy boots to the child in our neighborhood who absent himself from going to school because he has no boots to wear during the rainy season.
The other money was with my mother. She will keep it for good.
My big big thanks to this steemit community and to @surpassinggoogle who helps and supports us first timers to level-up, and also to @bayanihan, the @steemitfamilyph, @untalented etc and to @jon24jon24 who introduced to us this steemit community and who encourages us to have a relevant posts that could impart good ideas and thoughts to fellow steemians.
AGAIN, THANK YOU AND MAY GOD BLESS US ALL.!
