Steemit Ultimate Challenge 8 Weeks - Week #5

First of all i want to thank @dobartim for organizing this contest.

How steemit changed my life

"Hey, wake up Mustafa ,look it up ! I have just earned my first money in Steemit,exactly 20 dollars" my wife said to me.It is the first time i had heard about the Steemit.She asked me to get this first earning money to make a small celebration and i controlled the money she was right,she earned 20 but not Dollars she earned exactly 20 SBD but she had no idea about the crypto money so when i said it to her she was too happy.

It was the first memory about the Steemit. Before this happenings i did not know anything about Steemit and i did not believe in earning money from the internet just uploading pictures,videos or writing and painting. It was really interesting feeling.

My friend if it is not problem for you i want to play back the cassette and to tell about me (us ) and my (our) life. My name is Mustafa and i live in Izmir,Turkiye.Unfortunately Turkiye is heaven of unemployed people who have the university degree (bachelor degree) and has a bad financial,economical structure that is collapsed in anytime...So long story short...This money we took from the Steemit was really priceless for us. I am an engineer and my wife is a PR in a firm...But i have not done my job since 2010,after the big economical strike.I have a cafeteria in a Basketball stadium.In there generally kids play baskatball and i have to work seven days of the week,10 hours a day for 700 dollars in a month. My wife is lucky, at least she has weekends to rest but she earns only 572 Dollars. When we exchange in Dollars it looks too low but considering the minimum wages is 450 Dollars we are so-so living...Like every young and married couples we have some debts and we paid back nearly half of our debts in four months due to the Steemit. And we are looking to the future with bigger hopes and expectations due to the Steemit.

Actually i have talked about "the money" part of the Steemit but as you know the Steemit is a social community at the same time.I am an amateur photographer and i found a chance to share my pictures and join some challenges and meet new photographers and artist like me...As you know there is a lot of social media platform that you can share your pictures or piantings or you can share your videos but none of them gives users freedom and it is far away all the bad things that you can think : there is no bad words,no humiliation, no political games ,no facism and no religious hostility. These things make the Steemit an unique social platform.

I met here a lot of artists ,painters ,photographers ,poets , story writers and a lot of warm-hearted ,kind and generous people and they are all really kind even how talented they are and i have felt myself better in cultural and spiritual since i was a member of the Steemit. To communicate with the people who have a cultural and artistic information makes me feel better,makes me "real me".

I want to thank the people who makes me love the Steemit in my last sentences in this writing.
