Being in Steemit has been a challenge for me, it has been a year in which I have had to overcome several obstacles, however I consider that Steemit has been a blessing for me because it came just when I needed it most, I remember that a few days before moving to another state I met raquelsiso1 who told me about this site, before I had heard about it but because I didn't have internet or computer I gave up joining, but this time was different, I decided that those obstacles were not going to stop me and I decided to sign up.

It sounds crazy, but in my country it is a bit expensive to have a smart phone and a computer, so I decided to talk to my brother so that he would lend me the money I needed to buy the mobile phone, I convinced him that he was going to invest in me to be able to work in Steemit and that with the money I would be able to pay for my sick father's treatment, my brother was a bit sceptical about Steemit, but because of my insistence he gave me the money.

When I bought the mobile phone I had another barrier to jump and it was the most difficult barrier, to get internet, in my country the internet service is very poor, only few people can access a good internet, so there began my odyssey, as I had no internet, to participate in the page I had to go to a place where there was free wifi and as it was the only place with free wifi I had to walk about 40 min to take the bus, then the bus took about 30 min to get to the mall and so I could compete.

Also a Steemians who knew what I was going through, she passed me by msn the contests that I could do and I did them at home in the blog notes and when I had done the contests I went to the place where there was wifi, so I was 7 months, where I could not do much in Steemit because I couldn't always go to the when I could finally access the internet I was presented with another challenge and that was that there were few megabytes offered by the plan so I had to be very selective in the hours of internet use, I am still in the same situation with the internet problems but still I continue to give my best for this page.

In this month of November I will be one year in Steemit and although it has been a difficult year, Steemit has given me many gratifications such as: helping to pay for my father's illness, apart from that Steemit has been a place where I have been able to distract and recreate myself and thus fill me with energy to continue overcoming the obstacles that I still have to overcome, hoping in God I can get a good internet service to be able to participate in Steemit 100% without being limited to the internet. I can only say that Steemit has been a blessing for my life and although I have not earned much money I have gained the satisfaction of doing what I like the most which is writing, researching, taking pictures, interacting, for me it has been a personal satisfaction beyond money.
