Hello, Steemit family!
I am Gerel Mae Cortes from Cebu Philippines and here's my story...
I grew up having no parents by my side. My father left us when I was still 1 year old and 9 months and my mother died a few months after. Though my father still is alive, I consider myself and my younger sister as orphans.
Since the death of my mother, our grandparents took care of us and since they don't have stable income, there are times when we don't have enough food to eat. I remember some times when we just have table salt as our dish and paired it with rice. So at the early age, I started to find ways to make a living.
Despite doing some part time works while studying, I still was able to get high grades. In fact, I've ranked Top 1 in our class consistently since grade 1 until 4th year high school. I also passed some scholarships which helped me a lot to finish studying. One of it is the Department of Science and Technology-JLSS Scholarship. This scholarship really helped me a lot during my college days and because of this, I was able to obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Education major in Mathematics from Cebu Normal University and graduated Cum Laude on March 28, 2017.
I have also received an award from the DOST after graduation.
Well, I'm sharing this to you not to brag but I just want to share to you how God has blessed me. I was able to surpassed those challenges because I know and I believe that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13).
And now, while my career of being a teacher hasn't started yet, I'm engaging myself to the beauty of Steemit. In this way, I'll be able to slowly make one of my dreams come true and that is to be an author.
So long, Steemit family!

Greetings marysent, I hope you enjoy it here!
I have observed that people get upset or frustrated when they ask someone to follow them, and that doesn’t occur. There was a reason, following someone was reserved for someone whom you identified with, or you enjoyed their posts, things of that nature.
That kind of following is almost negligible now, since everyone wants to be followed no matter what they have to offer. I have found a sort of solution.
Now days, I follow whomever I comment upon; no matter what. I ask too, that they follow me; I will up vote them as well, if they provide decent content. If I don’t really appreciate their posts, I mute them. Problem solved. So I will follow you, please follow me.
FYI: you actually get more rewards if you up vote others posts, and comment/reply to your own postings. In other words, the more people you help, the more people help you.
I, @carltong, have all kinds of information on my blog, including faucets for free coin. Check my blogs out for that data, as this welcome greetings is just that, a sincere welcome to the greatest social platform on Planet Earth.
I would share two more things with you; first and foremost AVOID BITCOINSBRAIN! It is a HYIP site that stole about $1000 from me. It is a scam. Here is my take on HYIP’s.
IF IT SOUNDS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE, THEN IT’S NOT TRUE!
I was so gullible on BitcoinsBrain, that I took all my other coins and invested them into this fund. I was still texting and sending messages a full two weeks after they quit paying me. I could not grasp that I had been ripped off.
Secondly, @jerrybanfield is perhaps the strongest Steemian on Steem today. Check his site out for a free tutorial on how to use Steem. I took it and have learned plenty.
I hope things go well for you on here and once again, WELCOME to STEEMIT!!!
Sincerely,
@carltong
