Expressing my gratitude for being the 3rd place winner in the Minnow Support Project

I am a fairly new stemian and a few days ago I ran into a post about the "Minnow Support Project" being myself and a bit curious I decided to click on the post to see what it was about.

At first glance I saw "Give a minnow an upvote and they'll eat for a day. Give a minnow a resteem and they'll eat forever."
which was attributed as an "Ancient Steemit Proverb" with a bit of humor this instantly caught my attention so I read further!

As I read on I began to understand what this post was about. The author Hive account@aggroed (one of the top 75 authors on steemit) attributes a lot of his recent success to Hive account@kaylinart and Hive account@fyrstikken resteeming their posts.

In good spirit Hive account@aggroed decided to pay it forward and help other "Minnows" (new stemians) gain some recognition by starting a weekly based contest whch enabled them to submit a post of their own for a chance to be resteemed from a big account as well as gain a reward.

What counts as a minnow?

If you have less than 500 followers and have earned less than 5,000SP at the time you post then you're a minnow that's eligible for the resteem and the reward!

Seeing how this could be a great initiative I decided to give it a try and posted my most recent post at the time which was https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@thewolfofcrypto/hello-steemit-community-or-my-introduction

Thinking nothing of it as days went on I woke up this morning to a reward and a shoutout in my replies.

THIS WEEK'S WINNERS:

first place- Hive account@deepapoudel for https://steemit.com/steemit/@deepapoudel/5-steem-tips-campaign-an-overview-and-my-journey

2nd place- Hive account@tremendospercy for https://steemit.com/story/@tremendospercy/the-clintons-natural-born-killers

3rd Place- Hive account@axa00 https://steemit.com/japan/@axa00/part-ii-cold-war
3rd place- Hive account@thewolfcrypto https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@thewolfofcrypto/hello-steemit-community-or-my-introduction

Initially I was confused. I didnt realize that I had tied for 3rd place I just woke up to SBD in my account. After further research I remembered that I added my post to the contest.

I am more than happy with being a winner of this weeks contest and encurage anyone reading this to take a look into this contest as they run it frequently. This gives you a chance to be seen by more stemians and grow your page.

This project is amazing and will help many people who are new to the platform. I beleive that there are a lot of amazing content creators here on steemint and more will come as this platform becomes more widley adapted.

Projects like this will keep Steemit a positive place and enables Steemians the ability to support one another.

In the spirit of positivity I began my own weekly initiative here on steemit. Every week I will be scouring the Steemit ocean to find awesome content creators and will be giving them a shouout in order to help new stemians find the best content creators to follow.
