1000+ Followers Milestone Achievement PLUS 3sbd Contest Giveaway.

MY GRATITUDE
Hi! steemians, i just hit 1000+ followers and i'm very much delighted. My name is @aduragbemi and I would like to thank everyone on this platform especially my followers for their guidance and support so far.

It has been an awesome experience since I joined steemit. I thank @deeclown the most for telling me about this wonderful platform and for introducing me to the whole steemit community.

I could remember vividly when I first started "19th of December, 2017", I barely had 50 followers and I was almost discouraged as all of my post never reached a dollar back then. Well I'm still standing, I thank God, the wonderful peoples of steemit and @deeclown for their support and gesture of love.

My mentor @deeclown would often tell me back then “focus on creating good and quality content…..” then I can assure you that people will stand with you. A question made me rethink and I was able to arrive at my definition of quality content. Looking from one perspective, I can refer to a work that I spent quality time doing as quality but that only works when you are the audience and the judge. What I'm trying to say is your audience will be a better judge of your post and will be able to tell you if you actually meet up to expectation or it is quality. So, it will be okay if you carry your audience along.

Since December 2017, I have had the grace of meeting with posts from great personalities and talented members on the steemit community. I'm proud to say;

Steemit is a turning point in my life “where my talents complement each other and my skills are sharpend everyday.

Though I know I’m not yet where I want to be but I can assure you all I never give up.

I thank all those who have been following me till now, those that have been showing their support one way or the other by commenting, resteeming and upvoting my posts. I also say I’m sorry for those who expected more from me and I let down, to those that posted quality content and my voting power didn’t make a difference on their post and couldn’t resteem as a result of bandwith issue. Though, I already reach one of my set goal I.e _**attaining a thousand followers. Now I will pursue the second goal which is to have a steempower as high as 700sp in one or two months and I do hope I break free from this limitation soon.

I say a big thank you to those that made steemit worth my while, helped me discover myself and those that didn’t stop believing in me.

MY 3SBD CONTEST
The contest reward is not from the reward pool of this post but can however be affected by the later; if along the line I'm impressed by the turnout, I may increase the reward and perhaps add additional winning slots. Nevertheless, let's have it on our mind that there will be 3 winners; the first will get 1.5sbd, the second will get 1sbd and the third will get 0.5sbd. It is however important to note that there will be only two judges for this contest;

JUDGE 1: @josediccus
JUDGE 2: @deeclown

Winners will be determined and announced upon payout of this post. Goodluck guys!!!

All you have to do to enter this contest are:

So the contest goes thus;

I want you to write an article telling us how well you have contributed to the growth of Steemit. Yeah! We claim that Steemit has added value to us more than we could recount but have you ever thought of the fact that Steemit also needs value be added to it?

It shouldn't be more than 500 words and less than 150 words. One entry per person. Your entry will only be judged by its quality and creativity. Everyone has a fair chance to win and it is left for you to make your contents stand out.
