Guess Who Turned into a Dolphin Today?

_{I ain't a minnow no more ☺️}

Ok, this is the third time I've rewritten this first paragraph. I know, I know - you don’t want to be bored with another dolphin post. But just hang on for a few seconds, because this is a big milestone for me.

When I joined the platform, I was totally baffled by the whole club system. I read up on it, got some guidance, and soon learned about Club 100, Club 75, and Club 50. I've been a member of all of them, and now I've landed in Club 50. Then, I stumbled upon the Club Dolphin posts. After some reading, I finally figured out what they were all about. Naturally, I wanted to dive in. I must admit, I'm starting to warm up to this 'club' concept. My husband has been trying to convince me to join a services club in the real world as well... He might wear me down soon. I'll definitely keep you updated on that. But for now, I have to share a little celebratory note with you!

I am a proud member of Dolphin 🐬 Club now.

Thank you everyone for your support!

People who helped me a lot in different ways, starting with chriddi, event-horizon, o1eh, bambuka, weisser-rabe, and almost all of you who voted, engaged, and encouraged me in any way.

The community that supported my growth (the most) is @xpilar's WOX. I am also a member of their 250sp program governed by Bambuka. I just want to ask if my label could be changed to something like "member." I'm not entirely sure how things work in this capacity here ;)

Please let it be an inadvertent mistake on my part if I left out someone's acknowledgment, because I don't mean to. Without every one of my readers, voters, and engagers, I would not have achieved what I have.

This post is incomplete without acknowledging and mentioning @steemchiller's steemworld.org. I would be lost without this tool. I would not have been able to understand the platform in such depth and with such ease without it. A big thank you for this.

Last but not least, a big thank you to the Steemit team. I know I can be a bit too much sometimes. I'm someone who has to speak my mind, and I know I'm a little too impatient at times. But that's who I am. I'm really thankful for your support because your votes (and remarks, although scarce) are a huge motivation for me. They mean that I am being read and acknowledged. I won't tag you, but I can't help mentioning you. Yes, I'm talking about sc01, sc02, and the entire curators team. It would not be fair if I didn't mention @patjewell, who not only curates but also leaves a personal message now and then, which gives me the fuel to write more thoughtful and engaging posts.

If I may offer some perspective and advice for newcomers on this achievement, it would be consistency, determination, respect for your peers, embracing constructive criticism, and staying true to yourself, especially when publishing content and engaging with other users. And the Club Dolphin is just around the corner.

I guess that's it.

Thank you for reading this far.

Yours truly,
Maan
