Hello Steemians,
My name is Godswill Uddy Akpanowo am from the southern part of Nigeria, Akwa Ibom State to be precise. I am a mechanical engineering student in university of uyo. I love and enjoy working with my pencils and playing basketball.
I must confess that steemit is a community of great and amazing people with mind blowing ideas and potential which are in high need in our society today.
Today i want to write about the things i find interesting about steemit which have made me to fall in love with the platform.
How i got to know about steemit
Well, i was told about this great platform late last year by a colleague at school, he was mainly telling me about the financial benefits which i thought it a scam.
Then early this year a close friend of mine @engrbrain1 took time to educate me of all the benefits of the platform which caught my interest and made me join.
THE INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION
The first thing i noticed about this awesome platform as i signed in was the inspiration that comes with it. Seeing how great works are been rewarded and appreciated was so inspiring to me.
I also noticed that people didn't just post things any how but took out time to prepare great post to meet some persons need these motivated me some much to get started and contribute my little quarter to this great community.
Post from great men like @teamsteem, @runicar, @velinir, @jazmimillion, @surpassinggoogle, @purepinay, @slowwalker, and @candyman have been a great inspiration to me i must confess, thank you sir's you guys are great mentors and role model.
