Not a good writer.

That's probably the best phrase to describe this steemit newbie.

I'm bonbon from Las Islas Filipinas, a young democracy that has been continually proving its worth to the world... from the likes of Manny Pacquiao to Extra-judicial killings.

Some may find this irrelevant, but I grew up in a third world country where people are striving and starving to live. In the lowest strata of society, most families earn a dollar or two on a daily basis.. Just enough for a middle-class man like me to have a semi-complete meal in mcdonalds.

In all honesty, I created a steemit account to earn a few extra bucks and improve my writing skills. My succeeding posts will also serve as an outlet of my passions, frustrations, anguish towards society, and anything under the sun.

Currently, I am involved in a government agency that trains and educates uniformed personnel.

My expectations as a newbie Steemian:

  1. Veteran Steemian peeps: your guidance and feedback are greatly appreciated.
  2. I want to be involved with steemit groups that advocates human equity and alleviation of global poverty
  3. Make a circle of steemian friends whom I can share ideas with
  4. Be a more productive and useful citizen of the world by reading posts and comments from my fellow steemians

I don't expect a warm welcome from all steemians.. but please do continue supporting this social media platform for it has the potential to transform lives and become a revolutionary source of information.

Regards,

Bonbon

Welcome to the Steem World!
I have recently made an orientation video that will help you in your journey here - and will hopefully answer all the questions that took me months to figure out.

Your writing is fine Bonbon. :) I see the power of what Steemit can do in the developing world. I'm from the US and a post that "only" makes $5 here might be a decent sum elsewhere. There's always something to blog about, and the ability to come here and grow a following is huge.

If you ever get discouraged, reach out to one of us, we know what it's like to be new. Best wishes!
