That's incredible, my friend. It's amazing how Steem has had such a positive impact on your skills and development. I totally get what you mean about drawing exercises. It's so cool that you kept participating in contests and eventually surprised your friend with your excellent performance. And your improvement in photography is top-notch.

Steem has opened your eyes to new patterns and techniques, like using landscape patterns for beautiful images. Your writing skills have also seen a boost, thanks to Steem. It's true that writing is more than just putting words on paper - there are different patterns and styles to explore.

And let's not forget about your knowledge of blockchain technology. Steem has taken you on a deep dive into understanding the ins and outs of blockchain. It's awesome that you're even doing your own research to create content for your crypto academy activities. Steem is not just about income, it's about growth and learning. Keep up the amazing work, my friend.
