Hi Everyone!

My name is Josh and I’m a 14 year old islander Aussie. I found out a month ago about Steemit. It really intrigued me and made me want to start straight away but I had school so I waited till this weekend/my last exam (which was yesterday...Yippie) to re-introduce myself. Hope everyone the awesome #TeamAustralia don't mind my re-introduction too much, when I first joint, I really did not know anyone here at least now I have chat with a few Steemians! 😆

As I mentioned earlier, I’m a Micronesian islander and lived most of my life on a tiny island. I recently moved to Australia. At first, the idea of moving to the biggest island in the world sounded exciting but the thought of leaving some of my family behind discouraged me. On the way here, there was a lot going on which distracted me from what I left behind. The trip was fun and interesting because I was facing new things, like seeing snow for the first time when I transited in Japan.🗻🌨

When we got to Australia, I learned about rugby but I was too scared to play it at first probably due to my low self-confidence. I was also fearful of any kind of full contact sport. Before I came to Australia, my sports of choice were soccer and volleyball because they were less aggressive and yet competitive. ⚽🏐

I decided to give rugby a try (pun intended) when a friend asked me to join. On my first day of practice, the coach, other players, and the other parents were really nice and encouraging. This helped me overcome my fears and build my self-esteem. My confidence grew the more I played. 🏉

My other interests includes pets, especially dogs, and wild animals. I love being in nature and hanging around areas with lots of trees and places to hide. Here's a picture of my puppy (that I sadly left behind).😭

I adopted the big fat one at the top, his name is Taro👶🐶

Here are some Wild Australian Animals that Posed with me!

This echidna is such a good looking fella😚

Don’t worry, I didn’t really touch it🖐👌

This majestic water dragon was really photogenic🦎

We also took one together😁😉🙃

This was my pet for a few months. I found him indoors when it was cold and I released him when the weather became warmer. His name is Jo Flash. He grew really fast and his favorite food was snails🐌

His claws are really sharp but ticklish 😄😁😂🤣

Before I came here, I was mostly into computer games, hacking games, anime/manga, online comics, and other kids stuff. Yes, I still love them, but now I want to learn new things to help me mature.

I have gotten some help and I now have my first lunix server! Hint-hint I plan to become (one of the first) teenage Steem Blockchain Witness* in the World (or at least here in Australia...haha!).

I hope I would get some support from all other Steemians, if I can earn some Steem and upgrade to a new machine as I'm only using a starter server that's a few years old now.

In the past year, I enjoyed drawing and cooking. Like most teens, I'm still into games, music, especially country music because of the story and rhythm that it has. Besides Rugby, I've also tried tennis, TaeKwonDo, and also tried my hands with pottery by getting clay from the local creek.

More importantly, recently my interests have moved to writing, although I’m still not very good at it. I started writing, because I need an outlet for my creative imagination. English is not my mother tongue. I hope that sharing on steemit will improve my English and help me articulate the ideas that keep popping up in my head.

Thanks for reading this post. Hope it wasn't too long. I'm looking forward to being a part of this community.

Here's a video dedicated to everyone on Steemit✌ and also in TeamAustralia🤙
