One Of The Best Hangout Spots On Steemit Is; "#gedwriting"! Around 60 African Youths Build Their Dreams Under Using Steemit's #gedwriting!
Have you really heard of #gedwriting? Steemit has many streets but one nice spot to hangout in is:
"www.steemit.com/created/gedwriting"
Why?
Some time long ago, a special steemian, @giantbear got on steemit and she wasn't all keen on rewards etc.
Why be keen on rewards anyway, when rewards will come your way when you are the best version of yourself.
Yes, @giantbear, a South African teacher, saw steemit as an extension of her school; a giant white board; a place to build dreams and she brought in around 60 of her class students, south African kids to steemit!
Dreams
She wanted to fix lives in practical ways and what better way than to fix her young class into the very best versions of themselves by instilling in them the need to "define and re-define themselves"; establish their very purpose; vision and create their very own dreams!
Steemit offers just the right platform as it holds a community of reputable great minds who "mine with their minds" incessantly!
#gedwriting
@giantbear placed them in the real world, even on steemit!
Yes, there are ups-and-downs and this is the real world!
She didn't tell them that it will be all rosey on steemit! "Yes, there are possibilities that they will not earn rewards and they would have to undergo the rigor of brainstorming" as she set them up to write and find themselves under #gedwriting!
She made it competitive as well so that there is a "constant healthy-fun environment and a taste of the real world" for the kids!
She has them in a healthy competition for steem power!
We use these means to implore every steemian to visit:
There are youths writing constantly under #gedwriting, that need to be seen and utmostly, "encouraged"! We don't get to hear much of them but they exist and they hold a special street on steemit and they no doubt need loving support and encouragement!
Kindly visit:
Oh wow thank you for this! I really appreciate your kind words. I honestly think that these kids deserve the utmost respect. They are hard workers, and they have totally amazed me at times. Some students are very active and they post daily. They really appreciate all the support they can get, and so do I.
We work on this! The process is gradual though! You definitely need support, you have done a huge bulk of the task!
Thanks for this excellent post @afro-naija-trail. For me, Steemit is really an awesome site where you can post about the things you like and learn about others. In my opinion, steemit wasn't only about the rewards, but about improving my reading and writing skills, which has always been a problem for me. At first I was a bit scare to show people my writing, but because of the help from my teacher @giantbear , I eventually gained the courage to write my first post.
Awww you are a testimony and your comment here is awesome! You have improved drastically! We will work something out to make your effort more fun!
What an excellent post ! I'm actually so glad @giantbear showed me steemit and how awesome it is . She really motivated me to write , and now I'm glad I do everyday !
So so so glad for you. We are gradually working on making your effort all the more fun!
I'm very happy that the #gedwriting members are here! I have read many interesting posts by them. Thanks for promoting them and thanks to @giantbear for setting this up!
Yes, we will gradually do more. Thank you for acknowledging them! They need constant love and support!
