Steemit Engagement Challenge: My Steemit friends that I want to meet by @benjamin09

Greetings friends and welcome to my contest post for the Steemit Engagement Challenge hosted here in the Steem Venezuela community. This post will be talking on my steemit friends whom I hope to meet someday and why I want to meet them.

Who are these friends whom I want to meet and how did we meet on Steemit?

My journey here on Steemit started 1 month after I created my Steemit account which was in July 2021. In those early days here on the Steemit platform, I had a really hard time understanding how things worked and how to become a successful Steemian. It was at this time that I met a very great and helpful guy called @chiabertrand.

Just a few words of encouragement from him like in the above picture gave me a boost in my morale and attitude towards STEEMIT and I became more committed to the platform. There was also a time I remember when he told me a secret which he used personally to become successful on the platform and after I implemented it, I started gaining confidence as well as rewards from the platform. Remembering such only makes me more grateful. He also helped me significantly when it comes to the Steemit Crypto Academy and I am very grateful.

The second person whom I would love to him personally in real life is @bnaj. He created his account months before mine but due to an unknown situation, he was inactive. He finally came back to the platform in September 2021 and he began his STEEMIT path from there.

He was one of the fastest growing newbies that I saw at the time and there were times when he even came to me for advise on the Whatsapp platform and I was so eager to help him because I could sense the fire in him and his passion for success. Also, I thought of it as repaying @chiabertrand for his efforts as I too would be helping someone else. From there, we became friends on STEEMIT and helped each other.

Why do I admire these persons?

Let me begin with @chiabertrand.

Since when I knew @chiabertrand on this platform, he has always been a consistent and hardworking guy to be honest. He always makes posts in several communities such as Steem Cameroon, Steem Kids and Steemit Crypto Academy. These are the main communities which I have noticed him spend his time with on Steemit and in each and every one of them, he has made a name for himself.

In Steem Cameroon (our country community), he has been an engaging content creator who always helps newbies out and occasionally, he organizes giveaways for newbies so as to encourage them and motivate them. It is for this reason why he keeps flourishing because he has helped so many people and gained so many blessings from their prayers. He is truly an inspiration in the Steem Cameroon community and this merited him to even get nominated for the position of MOD in the community but he lost that battle.

In Steem Kids, he is also an active member being an Ambassador for the community. He occasionally shares links to contests and charity cases which were getting solved through the Steem Kids community and this information is very vital.

In the Steemit Crypto Academy, where I notice him the most, he is an active poster who always makes sure to post all of his assignments for that week and thus, he ends up creating the highest posts in the SCA in a season which is no surprise. To top it all, his assignment posts get selected as best for the week countless times due to the quality and accuracy of the work. This has caused him to gain so many juicy upvotes from the curators and thus grow his account. With this quantity of rewards, he used most of it to participate in the club75 status and powered up his account to the level where he is right now which is a Dolphin!

These are the reasons why I want to meet him in real life. His character has so many beautiful sides that I would love to interact with him and be influenced positively by him.

Now let's look at @bnaj's side of the story.

After @bnaj and I became friends on STEEMIT, I noticed how he continued to grow more and faster than ever. In less than a month, he already got to a reputation of 55 which made him eligible for the SCA. He then went on to achieve 3 beautiful things on the platform that I admire a lot.

Firstly, in the Steemit Crypto Academy, he started off a little rough but who doesn't? I admire how he bounced back and became more consistent and despite his busy schedule, he always made all his assignments even though some on time. His commitment to the platform is incredible!

Secondly, in our native community Steem Cameroon, he became a violent poster. Meaning that he was always posting at least 14 to 20 times a week and commenting and upvoting other Steemians' posts was nothing for him. He was very engaging with posts in the community and voted the posts as well making him a valued member of the community.

But his best quality which I admire the most is that which he personally opened an academy for newbies on STEEMIT where he recruited, trained and advised many newbies on STEEMIT and out of this academy came very interesting and powerful steemians such as @wase1234 and @shance-light that worked hand-in-hand with @bnaj to run this academy. The number of newbies he has trained and helped on this platform is very impressive.

I wish to meet him because his deep care for others to succeed is amazing and I like his generous attitude.

Thank you for reading and have a great time.
