Hello everyone, I welcome you all once again to my blog and I am very excited to write and share this wonderful piece with you all. Before I commence, I would like to use this opportunity to thank and acknowledge the hard work of the moderators and leaders of this community. It is with no doubt that they are indeed doing great work to continue keeping the community very active.
Today, I write this article with much joy and enthusiasm as I celebrate my first year anniversary on the Hive blockchain, and guess what, what amazes me the most about today is that it’s also my birthday as well, Wow 🤩🥳🥳. When I think about it, I am just perplexed and amazed about how it came about, what a coincidence this is. Nevertheless, it is a great time for me at the end and I am really excited to celebrate this day with all Hivians across the blockchain platforms.
My journey on this platform has been marvelous, aside from the challenges I have faced within the platform. I joined the Hive platform on the 14th of October, 2022, exactly one year after I joined. I made my introduction post immediately the day I signed up for the platform. Hive is an excellent web3 platform which is a good place to invest your time and capital as well if possible. When I first joined the blockchain, I used to be busy but then I tried to make or publish a post every day, later it came to a time that I stopped writing articles for like a month because of my busy schedule.
At first, we all know, that as a newbie on the platform, it will be very hard to earn upvotes on the blockchain without much engagement. In the beginning, I realized that I wasn't engaging much on the platform because I didn't put much of my time into the platform, but later on after the one month of break I embarked on, I came back stronger this time around, trying to find out a place that fits my niche on the platform. I also realized that on the Hive platform, one needs to explore more in order to know the community where you best fit into.
So far so good, I have been able to adapt myself to the Hive blockchain ecosystem in no time. It hasn't been easy but then I am glad I made it here on this platform. I have been able to achieve a lot here on the blockchain within my first year being a user, some of which include; successfully completing the newbie initiative program, achieving more than 1.5K HP, reaching a reputation of 68.729, having more than 100 followers, and having a post count of 4,842. It hasn't been easy achieving all these within such a short period.
In addition, not forgetting the city of Neoxian family, I love you all guys, I can't mention names 
Moreover, I would like to say a big thank you to 
Furthermore, just as I said, a lot of supportive and kind users on the Neoxian City, I would also like to say a very big thank you to 
If I continued to mention names, I think I wouldn't end this post today, and for that, I would like to say a special thank you to everyone who in one or the other has helped me in my journey here on the Hive blockchain platform. I think I haven't written anything yet about my birthday, but I am celebrating my 25th birthday today, and I thank Almighty Allah for the blessing and the life he has granted me till today. I pray for Good health and a long life.
Ops, sorry I nearly forgot, I have successfully completed my Bachelor's Degree in Biochemistry as well this month and I thank God for all this achievement in life.
Today is indeed a special day for me, and I really have to celebrate that but then maybe later part of the day because I have to be at my friend's wedding place today too, haha, after that, I think I can go for some small chilling drink and party small for myself lol. Guys, I am really grateful and much appreciated as well. Thank you all for your time and attention to reading my post. Have a nice day and take care.
