Personally, I can say that there was a period in which I decided not to apply for SR because I knew that I had to do a Power Down to buy my current house, I was aware of the work it takes to select Srs, and therefore, I did not want to apply to avoid resigning if selected. For the next period I did apply, and I had the opportunity to be elected.

The SRs have the task of supporting any user who requires it, regardless of nationality, therefore, it is necessary that they educate themselves to obtain more knowledge about what is related to Steemit, with the intention of effectively serving in this role.
