Club100// My Impression of participating in the Steemit Engagement Challenge Contest | Campaign #burnsteem25

Steem greetings to everyone in the steemit ecosystem, and a special greeting to the Steem entrepreneurs community. It’s a pleasure to write about our impression of the engagement challenge. Indeed it was a challenge and was worth it. The challenge brought a change in the types of content created on the platform.

Before the challenge started, the content I used to post was focused on crypto, business, gender-based violence, food, My town in 10 pics, and the diary game. The challenge came with varieties of themes, which allowed me to engage with other steemians via commenting.

During Week 1 of the Challenge.

During week 1 of the Challenge, I was so determined to do all the challenges. Now, the major issue I had was how to manage my home, work, and challenge without crashing down🤦‍♂️🙇🏿. But at the same time, I was determined to participate no matter the matter😆😄😃. I know whenever I overworked myself, I faced health challenges, but I needed to participate especially when the topics for the challenges were fascinating.

I started with the steemwomenclub community challenge and then followed by the Steemit Pakistan. On the third day, I decided to participate again in the Colombia-Original community challenge. After these three, I was not feeling well, my body was not responding properly.

From here, I had to take a break and could not write on the fourth day. I was feeling backache and constant headaches. I decided to rest for a day and observed my health first before continuing.

On the fifth day, I was feeling a bit better, and I had to participate in the Steem entrepreneurs challenge. I had most of the information to review any business in my city. After receiving some juicy upvotes from curator01, my body was feeling good to complete the remaining challenges.

On the sixth day, I participated with the crypto academy, and on the last day of week 1, I participated in the challenge in SteemFoods community. That is how my week 1 ended with a total number of 6 entries.

During Week 2 to Week 4 of the Challenge.

At the end of week 1, I was already facing health challenges, and time management, my mind was draining since I had many things to handle at a time. This affected my participation from week 2 till week 4.

My work was demanding, and I equally had to care for my family at the same time participate in the challenge. During week 2, I managed to do 3 entries, week 3, I did 3 entries, and in week 4, 3 entries. Therefore in total, I had 15 entries for the challenge. That was not bad though😃😀😀💃🏼💃🏼.

Participating in the challenge was not an easy task for me because of the things I do daily. I had to struggle with time to work, care for family, and participate in the challenge. At some point in time, I felt like giving up but had to keep going whenever I had the opportunity to make an entry post.

I developed a strategy to do my challenge entries at night when my kids must have slept. This way, I will be able to concentrate but come to think of it, my husband 🌚🌚equally needed attention. I had to convince him 😀😂😂 and he felt for it, and that is how I coup with the challenge.

In some of the challenges, one of the rules was compelling us to set beneficiary rewards for charity. The first week of the challenge, I was not happy with this particular rule and when I was setting it up, I was annoyed 🌚🌚🌚 and in my mind “…why should they compel us to do charity… charity is free will”.

But later on, I realized the great work done by admins of the communities hosting the challenge was not paid for. That was charity the admins were doing for us to check on all entry posts, comments, and upvoted. I saw the need to set the beneficiary but was not still happy because they compel us to set a particular amount.

What happened at the end.

At the end of the challenge, what I achieved was good in terms of rewards, content creation, meeting new friends through commenting, and my brain could think faster than before 🤣😆.

Yes oooh!! I can smile now because the rewards I got from the challenge helped me to achieve a dolphin 🐬 status in a few days to come. My constant power-ups from the challenge have equally helped me to become a Club100 member.

I hope and wish, that the challenge should never end just like the diary game. But will suggest that we should not be limited to one entry at a day. At times, some of us working, have free days that we can decide to do three challenges a day. Thanks, Steem entrepreneurs for this contest, and anticipate great changes that will favor us in season 2 of the Challenge.
