Hello Hivers Family! I am delighted today that I have this opportunity to share my story with you all. From previous years, I’ve realized that sharing my stories and life journey with other people can be inspiring. Therefore, let me introduce myself to you, explain what motivates me, and explain how Hive fits into my passion in life.
So here we go, I am Chechi, a 25-year-old farmer-island boy from the last frontier of the Philippines, the province of Palawan.
As someone who grew up on the farm and in nature, I have my interest in farming and environmental conservation, which is why I studied Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.
This degree took me 5 years to finish and finally graduated last year. The challenges I’ve experienced during my studies is not easy but because of dedication and perseverance, I finally got my diploma.This experienced taught me that it is really important to always be firm with your dream, keep chasing it whether you’re tired scared, broke or alone, just keep on going.
I believe that education and learning never end, that’s why after I graduated with my bachelor’s degree, I decided to study again the professional education majoring in mathematics. I took my licensure examination for mathematics last January 2025, and through God’s grace, I passed.
I am so grateful for all the people who helped me to achieve it, as they had supported me in my educational career. I believe that my knowledge and experiences in life, either personally and professionally, are worthy to share, as they would have a huge impact on someone who might read my story. And that is why I am so glad that there’s a Hive community.
Moreover, technology is one of my core passions, everything is here. There are a lot of opportunities I can get online, not just for educational purposes but also for my personal growth.
Aside from being a farmer and mathematics teacher, I am also a content creator. Creating content is something that I have a huge interest in because I believe it is rewarding, especially if people enjoy the content I’ve created. Aside from that, since I live on the island, my heart goes to nature and the environment, which is why I travel and see the wonders of nature.
I have volunteered with an environmental organization since it is aligned with my advocacy. Through online platforms, we promote environmental conservation on how we protect the earth from climate change for our future generations. Since people are mostly active on social media, it is a great way to spread the information to reach more people for awareness on how we could protect the environment.
In addition, during my spare time, I read books as it is a great way to expand my vocabulary and also to learn new things. I love reading books about science fiction, fantasy, and love stories.
I also love listening on podcast particularly about journey through life. Aside from that, music has been part of my life, whenever I listen to music it helps myself calm and relax. I also have passion for photography, videography, writing and blogging.
Writing and blogging help me a lot to express my thoughts through blogs and journals. I do want to maintain my blogs and be part of this community through sharing my stories, lessons that I’ve learned, and things that I want to share. I am also excited to share my captured photos and videos that allow us to see certain places from a different perspective, and that is how I came across Hive. I’m hoping that through sharing things that I’m interested in, I hope that I can motivate and inspire someone to do the things that they love and to keep the spark in their hearts and let their life shine from the dark. To believe that there’s hope and to let them know that small progress is still progress.
If you are going to ask me what motivated me to become part of this decentralized community. Well, among the mainstream platforms I’ve explored, I can say that Hive stood out, and I believe it’s because of its transparency, the community is active, and it also focuses on rewarding genuine contributions.
I’m so thankful to Sir @jedum, as he is one of the reasons why I discovered Hive. I just saw a particular post of his from a certain platform, and it made me curious, so I conducted my research and I asked him some questions about Hive. I’m so thankful for his kindness for sharing his knowledge and letting me know about this opportunity to be part of this wonderful community. I was strongly interested in the things I’ve heard from Sir @jedum about Hive, which made me decide to join here as this will be my space where I can grow, and also to share my contribution and learn from other people. As a new member of the community, I will be committed and active in creating high-quality and engaging content, sharing my knowledge, insights, and learnings with other people, and continuing my advocacies, which are diversity and inclusion, including the journey of discoveries.
I believe that joining Hive is an important step for me in terms of my digital life and engagement in the community. As someone who loves to contribute and share knowledge and stories with other people, this is the best space for me. This will not just help me to discover different stories but will also help me to grow as an individual and as someone who wants to improve a skill in content creation, writing, and digital storytelling. With this, I am eager to provide my ideas, skills, passion, and other things that I can offer to the online community.
