Steemit Engagement Challenge S5-W1 / My Family Steemians.

My steemit family

Greetings from my end, I am happy to participate in this contest. It is a sensitive topic that is cut beyond the closed people around us. Family is the strongest core value for me, as it is a bundle of respect and appreciation toward each other no matter the age or where you come from. The reason why I rate these values is that it extends from the blood bond to the community at large.

Family represents unity, sacrifice, joy, love, and continued resilience to help each other journey to the future. Today I will be looking at a few Steemit family members from the past two years on the platform. I will start:

@chant and I have known each other for over 12 years. She is my oldest family member both on the steemit and off-network. We shared great moments, which I wish I could share with you guys LoL. She is my number one steemit supporter, and offline my support system. She has been that family member that is always there for me, giving the period, then you can tell. We interact every day, as we have projects that we manage together. She is that family member that works with love despite my shortcomings. Yeah, we happen to join the Steemit platform within the same period. @chant has been my biggest supporter on the Steemit platform, and we share challenges and proposed solutions. She is that member of the family who will make you feel like you are in Noah’s ark, which has made me face challenges with a smile on my face.

@saxopedia is a young man I have known for the past 4 years since he joined us for an internship program under my department. So we meet daily, that is about five days a week. Apart from Steemit, we interact via other social media platforms as we share personal contacts. @saxopedia completed his program with me and later joined me when I split and registered Quodatic Inc. With his schedule, I watch him try to put more effort into his professional life as a developer.

@thegreens
He happens to be a family member and brother from another Mom. We have known each other for over 8 years, and I have had the chance to work closely on other off-network projects in our community. He told me about the Steemit platform in 2018, but I was reluctant to join. It was due to his persuasion that I finally joined in 2020. We have been working together to date. He is one of the objective close people around, he tries to be very inclusive. He has the quality of a leader, and he always finds a way to explain and give a reason why he thinks he's making a good point. As I will always say, it is about finding a meeting point in which everyone can be comfortable.

@njiatanga is the first country representative in Cameroon. I have known him for about three years, and we have run a project together. We happen to have the chance to play soccer together, as we belong to the same social group. I had a good relationship with him both online and offline. As I mentioned, we play soccer together, meaning we meet occasionally when we have a football game. We interacted on other networks and ran a project for him when the organization he worked with needed a website.

@monjuapollonia was my daughter's class teacher. She is a friendly lady, which pushes me to introduce her to Steemit in the course of our discussion. She has been a great family member as she has supported me on the Steemit platform and is a great teacher to my daughter. @monjuapollonia and I have met countless times, as we happen to be in the same town. I had the chance to buy from her online shop some time back. Apart from Steemit, we interact through other networks. When I have difficulty with my daughter's homework, I will call her direct and guiding.

My affinity toward her has been the way she puts energy into what she has to do. As a teacher, I saw the effort she put into my daughter, and when she joined Steemit. Sometimes I can't count the number of things she does: farmer, businesswoman, teacher, and mother.

@jene-mary was my wife's colleague, and I have known her for the past couple of years. We had a great interaction, especially before she traveled out of the country. We are still in a cool communication to know how things are going from our different angles. We meet on different occasions and share great moments.

We interact on different social networks, where we talk about happenings. I usually find out how she is coupling another country with her studies. She is a great family member to have around.

@yohan2on, who I got attention from in the days of my achievements program in the newcomer community. I had the chance to talk with him on discord, and he was one of the people who encouraged me in the early days of Steemit. I had support from him to keep staying on the Steemit platform. Well, given that his base is in Uganda. I have never met him, but I hope to find myself in Uganda. I will signal him.

@mato445 is a family member who lives next door to me in Nigeria. I'm sure we will meet someday, given that I have plans of visiting Nigeria in the years ahead. It is a Country I always admire visiting since I have a few other friends and family members. @mato445 and I interact on discord and the effort he puts in when he wants to learn. He is an open-minded person, who loves sharing his challenges for possible solutions.

Other family members I will not fail to mention are @nadiaturrina, @huzaifanaveed1, @majerius, @crismenia @wirngo, and @enveng. I will have to end here, I have not forgotten the whole steemit family as a whole.
