Hey friends
It’s been a minute, welcome back to my blog space, I have missed you all thoroughly. I am making this post not with as much enthusiasm as I should have hoped to because we have come to the end of our newbies initiative program. You know how the feeling of being a part of something significant and beneficial makes you feel whole and gives a feeling of belonging?, that’s how this program has made me feel for the past five months. It was meant to last for three months but I guess we are a lucky batch.
First I would like to say my sincere gratitude to the organizers, this is a program that makes the newbie feel included and without a doubt from experience NOT LOST. We all know how we started on this block chain, roaming around, feeling lost and clueless, the #newbies-hive gave every single one of us new identities and with each passing tasks and lessons, we became the IT kids on the block too. Thank you @starstrings01 @projectmamabg @aliento @theycallmedan #hive-learners. For the effort, for having the newbies at heart, and for the support all through these months.
It’s sad to know that I am writing my very last task for this program, but I do so with the joy that I have made friends and equipped myself with all necessary informations I need to thrive and soar on this block chain,
So let’s get into it
Without coating words the newbies initiative is the best support and learning program organized on the hive blockchain. For a newbies, the hive block chain is a wide place and one could easily get lost or discouraged when not properly guided. The newbies initiative provides all. The guide, exposure and information a newbie needs to thrive and excel on hive. It helps expand your connection horizon as you would most definitely make new friends and find yourself supporting each other in your own little ways. It gives you a sense of belonging to a community and the responsibility you need to be part of that community. Through the tasks and lessons, a newbie is informed of how things work on the hive blockchain. The whole idea behind this initiative is a well thought out one and I appreciate the conveners for such thoughtfulness.
Like I mentioned above, the informations and lessons thought, learnt and understood are what the newbies translate in each tasks. That means one has to first learn and then translate what had been learnt in each or the task. In the process, educating the general hive community that comes across such task post submitted and also the writer is being educated too in the process. For every task given, the conveners make it a point of duty to first give out lessons, and then also have general meetings where the lessons are being explained thoroughly for the extra understanding of all. That for me is the best form of learning, When one is able to explain a given topic in his or her own words from what they have learnt. That’s what each task does for the newbie in this program.
Each task gave a more easier understanding to how things are done and achieved on hive, for example the markdown task, thought me so much I never knew before the task, same with the hive keys and security task, myself and a lot of my hive friends learnt how to retrieve our accounts and how to keep safe our account.
Like every organizations or work body, there might me one or two loopholes, although the initiative is doing a superb work already and had a great system of doing things, I believe they need more hands to do the work. With more hands a lot of the other little lapses here and there would be covered and taken care of.
For our first task we were asked to make smart goals we hope to achieve by the end of this program. All through the program I find myself thinking about the goals I made and I ask myself if I am even close to any of them. Well due to a few lack of consistency here and there along the way recently, my goals have been stabbed, but still I am grateful for how far I have come in just eight months on this block chain, many thanks to the newbies initiative program.
HIVE POWER:
At the beginning of this program my hive power was at 186.792hp and now I am at 513.952hp, although my goals was aimed at 700hp, I will still give myself a small pat on the back for coming this far.

My reputation was at 61 and now it is at 64, like I mentioned my goals had definitely Been stabbed due to inconsistency in the past few weeks, but from now on I am going to do better, for myself and my blogs and even though I didn’t achieve all my goals during the course of this program and as it is coming to an end, I still owe it to myself to make my goals come through. Also I made a significant increase in my following and followers as seen below.
