MY UNFORGETTABLE STEEMIT SURPRISE

in Steem Kids & Parents4 years ago

This contest was timely @ngoenyi. I feel like this is my appreciation post to everyone who has in anyway supported my posts in this community. You all are the real MVP.

Ever woke up with a start because you heard a loud bang? I'm referring to one loud enough to shake the walls that the earth feels as if it has finally collided with the heavens. This can make the heart palpitate with fear for hours due to the different horrific thoughts that will be running through your head.

How about stepping out of your room on a sunny afternoon to see that there is little to no activity on your ever busy street. Then you are almost tempted to ask if rapture had actually occurred. If you are like me, you must have prayed to God in three languages, asking the ever merciful father to forgive all your sins.

But all this can not compared to the surprise I got few days ago on Steemit. For someone who had one downvote on my first post for reasons I can't figure out yet, I began to prioritize making quality posts that will be beneficial to my audience. As a matter of fact, I started drawing my validation from engagements on my post such as votes, comments and resteems.

I would spend minutes, hours, and days to write a post, proof read, triple edit, cut out what I consider irrelevant and try to make my ideas as concise as possible. This means lot of sleepless nights because of my ever busy day. My efforts do pay off with some little but very significant supports from people I barely know on the blockchain which boost my morale. I continued participating in contests here on Steemkids until one day.

I had sent in my entry as usual but had just one engagement. I began to panic. Memories of my first experience came flashing back and I felt that maybe I didn't put enough effort or maybe I had flaunt a rule. I gave up on getting any positive engagement on the post until I logged in four days later to my account. I was notified that @booming03 had upvoted my post with $8.03.

Although I have not shared my experience with anyone yet apart from now, my joy and excitement knew no bound.

To me, there is no greater surprise like waking up to see a notification on my Steemit account. It is my dream to create quality posts for the right audience. This particular upvote came as a big surprise as it is the highest upvote I have ever had for the time being and I have never felt so motivated to keep creating quality contents.

What was your unforgettable steemit surprise?
