Achievement 1: introducing myself by @mercytos1
Good day everyone, nice to be in newcomer community. I have been on steemit platform for sometime now even though I am not active. As a teacher I always advice my student to learn the basics before moving to a complex one so I decided to do my achivement post on steemit to be able to learn basic things on steemit platform and how the platform works.
My name is Ojuola Mercy Oluwatosin, I am in my early thirties and am a citizen of Nigeria, kogi state to be precise. I am married with two lovely kids, a boy and a girls and a teacher by profession. I taught primary two pupils in Dayspring academy and I love my job to the core. I am a graduate of BSC sociology from kogi state University.
My knowledge in cryptocurrency is little but right from time even before I got married I love crypto but I was scared to go into it because of how volatile it is and the way people get scam and loss their money within a tinkle of an eye. After I got married as time went on my husband decide to venture into cryptocurrency, steem, Hive and a little bit of trading that was when I know that cryptocurrency is not that volatile if you know how to invest well, wisely and follow the rules and regulations and this act further increased and waken my love for cryptocurrency.
I love teaching especially children because I believe they are our future leaders and when the foundation is weak anything we decided to teach them in the future will be difficult aside from teaching I also love cooking, I don't get tired of doing those things. The first time I got to know about steemit was when a family friend of ours was discussing it when he came to visit us at home. my husband joined and I later join as the time went on.
l learnt form this family freind that there are alot of topics and different communities available on steemit so when I joined sometimes I will just login to steemwomen community and read their post but I did not join the community reason I cannot even tell myself but I love the community maybe now that I have a new phone with good internet network I will join, this was one of the reasons I became inactive on steemit platform.
I will love to expand my knowledge in cryptocurrency because I will love to get myself involved in online trading and this will required alot of knowledge. so I planned to gain Knowledge from here who knows I might even be a better trader than my husband because he is always busy with work, monitoring his business and also writing some post on steemit. I will joined the crypto Academy but first I will complete my achievement post and the introductory post before joining the beginner course but I will read their post and if possible the formal post by the professor. I will take things slow and learn the basic.
One thing I learn is that life is a process and until we go through that process according we will have problem when we get to the top.
Thank you all

Hello my friend welcome to the steemit platform. You will never regret being on this platform. On this platform there are many activities that you can partake in. Join communities and start blogging. You can post anything in the website such as cooking, sports , medicine,music or just post your talents and good ideas. Avoid posting pornographic and harsh words. It's advisable to join steemit nursery were you can post anything and know what you are best at. On the platform if you're consistent, you will have success. Know that good things take a while to be enjoyed, so do not expect fast and magical success, put in your time and talent or ideas and be consistent. You cannot post many things in a day if your steem power is low. You need to do contest and post often so you can get rewarded and have a good steempower. You can use a 100 percent power up or 50sp and 50sbd. Do not try to compete with any one, it will only make you confused and make you stressed up, so work hard to be good for your self. Another way to get good up votes is by joining community support programs. As a new comer you can do a quick reading over acheivement 1 to 3 and get basic rules that are obligatory for you . Acheivement 2 is talking about your keys, if you misuse them or loose your account it cannot be retrieved. You need to keep your keys well, by sending them to your email, note pad, printing them etc . Check your wallet transaction daily to know if someone tempered with your account.
After you have logged into your account,and your wallet, sometimes you will have pup ups that ask you often to put your active key before carrying out any action, do not put it, tap on the (x) above it and reload your page. If it persist, contact your country representative or an old member you know so that you will not risk getting your account hacked. Acheivement 3 is about plagiarism. It sounds like a very big word. It means you should have nothing to do with copying and pasting if you cannot site a source. If you want post the same thing in more than one community, you have to use #tags so that your post will appear in the other groups. If you find something online do not fail to cite a source before posting or your post will be down voted , muted, and flag which will only tarnish your reputation on the platform because people will not take you serious and you will be stagnant.
The number next to your name is a reputation number which shows how you have been up voted and down voted, the more good Content you post, the more good reputation and followers you will have and the more down votes you get will not be good.
Do not see people happy or getting up votes and be discouraged. When you are consistent and discipline the curators will visit you.
Note that the more you do your acheivements, the more educated you become about the steem platform. Always comment and upvote post of people and replied comments from people even if it shows 0.00.
Follow steemblog for updates and always pass by the newcomers community daily to check the notice board for announcement.
If you find difficulties in anything, ask your questions under comments in the newcomers community. Steemit and steemians love you and wants to see you succeed. Steem on and meet you at the top.
