My First Progressive Report

Hello steemian family. I am pleased to write my first progressive report. I want to first apologise for the delay in submitting my progressive report and I hope I am pardoned. I never knew I could write an article until I joined steemit.

MY COMMUNITIES

I have joined several communities on steemit platform which are 24 in number. After my introductory post, I joined these communities because I saw them inviting and interesting and I really wanted to read and learn more about the platform. Amongst these communities are some that I love and fancy most and they include:
Steem for BetterLife
Steem Venuezuela
Steem for Ladies
Steem for Pakistan
Steem4Nigeria
Recreative Steem
Hot news community
Steem Fashion&Style
Steem for LifeStyle
New Comers Community
Art

I love these above listed communities the most because they use to organise contest topics that are related to our personal lives most of the time which makes it easy for us to write. Even though once in a while they tip in challenging task for people to perform. I love them because the contest organisers always give the guidelines on what or how to write on a particular topic.

MY POST TOPICS

I have written and posted several topics especially diary games and some other them includes:
Letter to my father Post
My love story post
The food I love the most post
Importance of time post
Shocking moments post
A better life - comfort post
Expressing me in peace post
Domestic violence post
Time machine post
My childhood post
And many others that you can find on my post block including diary games, women in the spotlight, one picture and one story, etc.

KEY PEOPLE I HAVE INTERACTED WITH

I have interacted with different people on steemit. The first person is my best friend @blessedbee who introduced me to steemit, without her I wouldn't have known about the platform. Another key person I have interacted with is @goodybest who I found kind because she corrects and guides newbies with love. I will also like to mention @irawandedy who caught me the first time I made a mistake of letting my husband help me write a post which led to me being labeled "PLAGIARISM/AI" by @steembetterlife. I crossed my heart to write my articles myself and not make such mistake again since then. I have also made friends who are very nice like @owulama @entity01 @comforpeter @eliany etc.

So far in my journey on steemit, I have had great impact by the organisers of contest topics on the platform. I use to sit and imagine how they come up with topics for people to write on, indeed they do a great job and I admire them. Also the curators play a great role too in reading and checking the different post by people. I have learnt from different people's posts and appreciate all the people I have interacted with and those who have voted my post cause I didn't expect some of your upvotes and comments.

MY MOST SUCCESSFUL POST

My most successful post on steemit is my diary game of 20/7/2024 which I titled "Missed my Mother".
The post got the highest upvote since I joined the platform by @steemcurator01. I think the post was successful because of the nature of activities I engaged in on that day, from showing the steps on how I made my dress to cooking with tripod.

MY OBSERVATIONS ON THE PLATFORM

I have learnt that for me to grow on steemit I have to be active and engage in other people's post by reading, voting and commenting. At first I thought it is a platform where I can login anyhow or anytime I like but I realised it is rather time demanding and involves continuous study and commitment.

MY PLANS ON THE PLATFORM

I plan to stay active and engage more in the platform and also try my best to write quality and original posts. There are things that I don't know yet about steemit so I intend to research more and learn. I also will like to study the markdown editing more because there are some editing I admire on people's post that I cannot do yet so I hope I do better in my editing skills.

Thank you all for your support😘💖
