Everyone has a story – and all our stories have something in common… we all started from nothing and knew nothing. People want to hear stories. They want to hear OUR stories — they want to know who we are, where we are from, what we are doing, who and what we love, what we have learnt and where we are going. People also want us to hear their story! Being a part of the Steem network is an individual journey for every single one of us and through this initiative we will share our stories not only with all who are already here – hopefully inspiring, guiding and informing them… but doing the same for everyone else in the world too. Through our stories we will prick the curiosity of those who have not yet arrived and illuminate and widen the already open doors to our one in a million blockchain.

We invite and encourage each and every one of you to participate and share your stories too! You can find the "how to" details at the end of this post.

I met Steemit a year ago, when my uncles Hive account@wendyth16 and Hive account@betzaelcorvo, they told me that they were working on a page on the Internet and from there they generated money I thought it was magnificent, since in my country things are bad economically and not earning extra money It falls badly, for those same reasons I emigrate to Ecuador, and here I am currently working, but I feel alone without my family, although every day I communicate with them, I thought I needed something that would entertain me and at the same time bear fruit. I am addicted to social networks and in a conversation with my uncles they insisted that I enter to be connected in the same way and I did so, I entered this platform thanks to their advice because I feel happy to express myself here and learn or know cultures and more.

Conocí Steemit hace un año, cuando mis tíos Hive account@wendyth16 y Hive account@betzaelcorvo, me comentaron que estaban trabajando en una página en Internet y de allí generaban dinero me pareció magnifico, ya que en mi país las cosas están malas económicamente y ganar un dinero extra no cae mal, por esas mismas razones emigre a Ecuador, y aquí recido actualmente trabajando, pero me siento sola sin mi familia, aunque todos los días me comunique con ellos, pensé que necesitaba algo que me entreteniera y a la vez diera frutos. Soy adictas a las redes sociales y en una conversación con mis tíos me insirieron que ingresara para así estar conectados en la misma sintonía y así lo hice, entre en esta plataformas gracias a sus consejos porque me siento contenta de expresarme por aquí y aprender o conocer culturas y mucho más.

My initial challenges & how I overcame them

---

My challenges that I faced on this platform was the use of mark-down codes when publishing, I wanted everything to be nice and justified so I had a video class called with my aunt @ wendyth16, I also remember that one of my fears was the I use the discord because I really didn't know what it was used for, so one day I decided to go in and start adding communities and I started sharing in Hive account@cervantes where I met people who helped me a lot.

Mis desafíos que enfrenté en esta plataforma fue el uso de códigos de mark down al publicar, quería que todo me saliera bien bonito y justificado así que tuve una clase por vídeo llamada con mi tía Hive account@wendyth16, también recuerdo que uno de mis temores era el uso de la discordia porque realmente no sabía para qué se usaba, entonces un día decidí ingresar y comenzar a agregar comunidades y comencé a compartir en Hive account@cervantes donde conocí a personas que me ayudaron mucho.

My Steem blockchain knowledge

I didn't really know anything, I think the basics, by publishing I got votes and after 7 days I was going to get the money I had accumulated with those votes. By that time I didn't even know what bitcoin was, much less steem, so here I go on the march learning about the world of cryptocurrencies

Realmente no sabía nada, creo que lo básico, al publicar, obtuve votos y después de 7 días iba a obtener el dinero que había acumulado con esos votos. En ese momento ni siquiera sabía qué era Bitcoin, mucho menos steem, así que aquí es que voy en la marcha aprendiendo sobre el mundo de las cripto monedas.

My Steem favourites

One of the communities that opened their doors to emerge were #cervantes @nTOPAZ #qurator #ccc and to which I am very grateful to them. In my blog there is a very varied content, but I focus on talking about my trips where the images are the protagonists, I also like to publish about nature and everything that implies, I love a sunset and animals.

My Steem hood & its peeps

The communities that I currently follow are appreciator cervantes, blocktrades, ccc, qurator, eduvenezuela. I believe that each one has impacted me in different ways, In the discord I speak very little but I am always connected watching the new news and updates, it also has to become a solid tool at the time of some change in the platform because there is always new information because I have noticed that it is changing and must be updated.
