Hi Steemians . I am happy to join another contest authored by @mermaidvampire's challenge Look What Steemit Made Me Do
I am grateful to @catietan for introducing this wonderful and great social media to me. Its an avenue where positivity thrives.
First of all, this platform taught me to take that first step. When I joined this February , it took me two weeks before I was able to post my introductory piece. I'm thankful for my mentor @sashley for helping me out and teaching me the basics. Most of the time , it takes just a little push , a nudge here and there, for us to TAKE THAT FIRST STEP , AND WHEN YOU DO, AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN
Joining the daily challenges like the colorchallenge @kalemandra and daily photocontest @juliank set the ball rolling for me. I became aware of my environment and started to take notice of mundial things , little by little I learned to appreciate the trees , the food I eat , the people around me and I started to CARE and be thankful of the blessings around me.. ALLOW POSITIVITY TO SURROUND YOUR BEING , FOR WHEN YOU DO , AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN .
Shortly after I have written a few articles at Steemit, a contest was posted at our Steemit North Luzon group chat .I decided to join and will be forever grateful @mermaidvampire for authoring my first entry. Its a DIY card making contest and I was lucky to win Second place. DONT DOUBT ! IF YOU DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING, GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT AND WHEN YOU DO, AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN

After awhile , another contest came up authored by @korinkrafting .Its a scrapbook making contest. I chose a topic and theme that was close to my heart which is my family and our travel experiences. and when the winner was announced, I placed Third place . WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING, GIVING YOUR BEST IS NOT ENOUGH , STRIVE TO GIVE YOUR ALL AND GO THE EXTRA MILE, AND WHEN YOU DO, AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN

Before Steemit, I was quite shy and aloof , but after joining this site , I learned to express my thoughts and feelings , on one occasion , I was browsing through my photo galleries and came upon our travel to Cebu , I wrote an article about it , being grateful for our Cebuana friend's hospitality . I was beyond words when that article was featured " In the Spotlight " of @gratefulvibes. WHEN YOU DO SOMETHING, LEARN TO LOOK BACK AND REMEMBER TO APPRECIATE THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED YOU IN YOUR JOURNEY, AND WHEN YOU DO , AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN

Through this wonderful system , I gained new friends , a stronger bond was developed with people i formerly considered as mere acquaintances , people I just met unselfishly shared their knowledge and encouraged me to go that extra mile. I gained confidence in myself and was always a recipient of other people's support and care. In Steemit , “Compassion can’t be measured in dollars and cents. It does come with a price tag, but that price tag isn’t the amount of money spent. The price tag is love." ( quotes by J. C. Watts Jr. ) ..So when Sir Terry @surpassinggoogle asked for support , I decided to step forward and return the favor. I made a video in support of his advocacy to include Steem and SBD wallet in coins.ph. WHEN PEOPLE GIVE THEIR SUPPORT TO YOU , LEARN TO PAY IT FORWARD AND WHEN YOU DO , AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN

My fellow Steemians , In my two months journey in Steemit , these are just a few things that I was able to accomplished in this awesome platform, a place where positive exchange of support , care and concern are the core values to be found and felt. So Im excited and I look forward to what bigger things I can still do in the next few months. Be it crazy , weird , impossible tasks , Always remember , WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS , GRAB IT AND WHEN YOU DO, AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN.
So my Steemit friends what are you waiting for ?@ajasmin14, @fherdz, @catietan, @sashley , @mavicalipda, @mariajuanahao, @girlalugirl
Come and join the fun. FOR WHEN YOU DO , AMAZING THINGS WILL HAPPEN . 😉😉
