I can still vividly remember how @starstrings01 and the wonderful @mayorkeys assisted in helping me make my first post on this platform. Those two were(and are still) far more experienced than I was. They helped me wrap my head around the whole concept of this platform. I really appreciate the help guys.
One thing that further helped in easing the transition process was the newbies initiative.
The various tasks, the people I got to meet, the experience... It was all a bit tasking for me, but it was also worth it.
One of the first tasks of the newbie initiative was for the newbies to set the goals they aimed to achieve before the program ended. You can go through my entry here.
In my post, I set a goal of having over 200HP before the end of the program. Well, we're at the end of the program and I checked my account to discover that I fell short by 45 HP. Too bad eh? I know...
One of the other things I listed there was to get better at networking. How did I fare in that aspect?
Judging from my history of not being interested in having relationships with people, I think I fared quite well. Through the avenue of the newbie initiative and Hive itself, I have met and related with more people than I could've imagined.
The challenges I highlighted in the earlier post played a huge role in frustrating me, but I still tried my best to find my way around them and now I think I'm starting to find a bit of balance between school and blogging.
And even though this wasn't part of my goals, I'm glad that I helped in the birthing of a new hive community - the Hive-Funaab community. There is no way I can recount my 2021 without making mention of this. We've managed to achieve quite a number in a very short period of time and I'm honored that I was(and still) instrumental to the cause.
I have also helped in the transition of up to 7 newbies here on Hive. Even though it isn't exactly convenient for me, I'm still happy that I got to help everyone of them.
LOOKING FORWARD...
I don't know what 2022 might bring, but I definitely know what I'm giving it - my all. For this new year, I'll be looking to having more healthy relationships with the people here and those around me. I want to also be more helpful towards preaching Hive to people, bringing them in and helping them grow. And before the end of the year, I'll be looking forward to having over a thousand HP.
I want to appreciate @projectmamabg @eddiespino @aliento @starstrings01 @theycallmedan and the whole newbie initiative team for giving me this opportunity. And to all of my colleagues for this cohort - I'll see you all at the top. I also want to say a big thank you to everyone that has been following me since the very first day up to this time.
I really appreciate the support and help from everyone. Thank you and God bless!!
