🌸 Introduce Myself ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* I'm back! ° (^▿^) /° EN

Hello again! It's been more than three years since I wrote a post.... What nerves... ♪(┌・。・)┌

About 4 years ago I started in this world of "Blockchain" on the Steemit platform, on the recommendation of a friend. The truth is, I had no idea what it was. So I spent some time investigating and appreciating various publications, which motivated me to share one of the things that I loved to do as a child, but never motivated me to develop, due to, among other factors, the lack of support...

... What I loved to do most as a child was to draw, and it was thanks to this platform that I found a place to share my "start and progress" as an artist. In the process, I participated in various art contests, which helped me to be creative and challenge myself, allowing me to constantly improve. Likewise, I found support from people who were complete strangers to me, but who made me feel appreciated and motivated to move forward with what I am passionate about.

However, a little over two years ago, I got sick with Malaria and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (Yes, both at the same time ಥ_ಥ ), which left me in very bad health. I became very thin and it aggravated a little problem I had been having for a few months: my hands were shaking as if they were living in a constant earthquake!

Well, a few weeks ago I found out about this platform, thanks to a friend of my sister's friend. He mentioned to her that Steemit users had "moved" or "migrated" to a new platform called "Hive".

The mention of that place where I shared wonderful moments and the opportunity to start over, led me to what I am doing right now, my new "Introduce Yourself", so that those people who supported and encouraged me, know that I have also moved, and hopefully, I can meet new talented people who have similar tastes, and from whom I can continue to learn.

My name is Arlet, I am Venezuelan, I am 24 years old (in a few days 25 years ಥ_ಥ), and I am finishing my studies in Chemical Processes.

I am currently waiting to present my research work related to the evaluation of clays to adsorb acetaminophen, which is considered nowadays an emerging contaminant. In future posts I will tell you a little bit about my work or thesis. It is quite complicated, but I will try to explain it in a simple and understandable way.

Soy aprendiz y practicante de Karate – Do Tradicional del estilo Shotokan. Un arte marcial que se ha convertido en mi filosofía de vida y me ha ayudado con los años a aprender acerca del camino del BUDO. Y que a su vez, me ha presentado personas maravillosas que hoy en día forman parte esencial de mi vida.

Likewise, I was a gymnast from the age of 5 until I was about 12 years old. It was a sport that taught me from a very young age, the importance of discipline and perseverance to advance and achieve our goals. In addition, it gave me the joy of having a strict teacher who taught me these wise words: "Fear is natural in the prudent, and knowing how to overcome it is to be brave... Only with perseverance and dedication, we will be great winners".

I don't have pictures of me practicing this beautiful discipline, but I do have some pictures where I am with my teammates and trainer, whom I remember with great affection... ❤

Basically, the content I will be producing and offering to this community, will be my new beginning and progress as an artist. Taking into account, the difficulties that I still present to draw (my hands are still shaky and I'm taking my studies via online that consume much of my time). I will be giving my best, to draw with this condition.(∫˘▽˘)∫

Likewise, I will be showing you a photographic record of all those projects I do in my free time (idle), among which stand out: costume jewelry, crochet knitting and if possible, my scientific advances.

Without further ado, I say goodbye to the #hive community in general, for the opportunity to share my art and experiences. I am also grateful for the work done by #cervantes to promote the Spanish-speaking community within this platform and who at the time, helped me a lot and even without knowing it, motivated me to move forward.
