We all have names but do you think we own it? They call us names but somewhere out there, other people use the same name and it was never difficul to find someone who has identical name with you. We differ in our skin colors; in our nationality; in our heights and weights; and in our attributes but do those things really describe the inner you? Well I was asked recently by someone, “Who are you?” It made me wonder and questioned myself, “Who am I?”
When I was a kid, I have someone who I always lean on. I am a cheerful kid and I do not sweat blood about the things that bring me pain because I had someone who was there to help me. I am close to my parents but I am more attached to my sister. When she died, I have been lost for years. It seemed like I do not know myself anymore or it is just that I have never known my very definition since I always depend on her and been hiding from her back. She is the oldest sibling I have and now that she's gone, I am carrying with me all the burdens and responsibilities she used to bear. As time goes by I slowly realize the pain she has carried when she was alive but she still managed to make me believe that it was easy to cope up with everyone’s expectations. Then my world changed. The world I used to believe in changed. It was supposed to be a lively world and that all the people that live here are tenderhearted humans but I was wrong. I woke up! The world is full of monsters! And then on, I wanted to change people by knowing them and giving them a reason to change by themselves.
I am strong and upbeat they say though they do not know that at night I cry for missing my sister, for all the troubles I am dealing with no one to run to, and for all the people who kept on pushing me down. But I trust myself; I want to return all the hardships of my mom and dad. I just don't like being so caring at all times. I give my very best to help who ever needs it as long as I can; I care for all those that needs someone; I give some pieces of my heart to those who feel lonely, but in return they turn their back at me and tend to forget that I exist without me knowing any reasons why. At the end, I am left with nothing but too many whys. People never knew the difficulties I bare and they always believe that I am a happy-type of a person who does not deal with knots and they also don't know that I am a cheerful person not because I don't want to show my weaknesses but to make people around me happy. I love to love people without asking for anything in return. And that makes me unique. I am still amaze knowing my very self.
I love children and for that, ever since I was a kid, I wish that my profession will be as a teacher. I even day dream that I am already teaching, I have my own cubicle at the school I love to work in, and that I am wearing the uniform of the noblest profession. But that dream was long forgotten when my sister died. She asked me before she died, "Please give mom and dad a child who is Engineer. Please do it on my behalf". Since it was my sisters last request, I willingly did it. Now I am currently studying the same degree my sister took which is Electronics Engineering. It was hard at first for the very reason that I have no ideas about it. Aside from loving numbers and mathematics, I have nothing else to offer to this course so I have been lost and I do not know where to start with. But bit by bit I embraced it and now I kind of love it. All I ever dream now is to be a successful and professional Engineer in the near future to make my parents proud, to make a better future for my family, and to make my sister happy.
Before I knew about Steemit, I have been contemplating on where I should work for part time to have an income and give my parents a lesser burden when it comes to financial. Then a friend introduced Steemit to me. By the time I indulged myself in Steemit, I discovered a new part of me. I am not so used to interact with other people but I learned from Steemit how to cope up socially. All my life I needed someone I can share my experiences and also learn from him/her. It was not all about the money I can get from Steemit, rather the involvement, new friends, discoveries and knowledges I gather there. I now have a better view of life, a new perspective and a much meaningful world. There are way better and meaningful things inside steemit than steemit itself.
I write most: about travel since I love going to places, I really want to share my experiences on Steemit and to show other Steemians the places they have never been but still a go-to-place; about science, technology and engineering because I love embracing the knowledges I gathered at school and I really want to let people have a wider view of things in life and not only focus on one thing; and also about arts which I learned from a friend and every time I draw something I see a much colourful world.
Since my day 1 here in Steemit, there was a man with a huge heart that really loves helping minnows like me. I tried my best to walk along the road of success here in this community but I felt like I was a baby that it seemed like I am in need to crawl my way in. It seemed that in every step I take, the gate also walked its way away from me. I felt so susceptible but a man held my hand, taught me how to walk and stayed with me till this very day. I still tasted the bumpy roads where it seemed like no one cares about the blog you wrote. Then he reminded me of his wisdoms. He told me, “If you use your story you can’t be human rather you turn out to be extraordinary. Write a post with full soul”. People started to know me. The comment section that was a no-care area was filled with people who admired me; I felt love that is way more than the money I got from here. He even let me have a very great privilege to be part of steemecrets. Most of us must have known him with his username 
Somehow, people were so endeavor in attaining their success in steemit community thus it would be a great success in their part endulging a breakthrough on their blog. If I were given the chance to have this shot, I would rather have everything in a way that my co-Steemians will be satisfied and gratified with my post. I will focus more on sharing my knowledge or educating other steemians through my learnings. Why? For the reason that in this life I treasure more about the knowledge given and shared to or by other people because I believe that it is the only thing that can't be robbed, snatched, stole, or taken away from you.
Who am I? Who are you? Well a single word can’t describe us but one thing is for sure, each and every day we grow as a person.
Yours Truly,
SISSY
