Introducing myself to the Steemit Community | follow @westconnect for updates on pretty much any current, interesting topics :)

Baby Steps
Hi everyone or should I say Steemians (I hope I got that right :) ). This is my first post here and I thought I should start by introducing myself. I wouldn't want to bore anyone with a long, winding introductory post so I will try to keep it short and hopefully interesting for you guys. I am currently completing my Masters in Information Systems at Rhodes University in South Africa and my love for cryptocurrencies has been increasing on a daily basis. Here is a picture of myself in my campus office right now just trying to "Steem Ahead" like everyone else around here.

How I got Here
It all happened by chance but I am very glad to be here and I cannot wait to see what this platform has in store for me. Like everyone who has been bit by the crypto bug, I was scrolling through tonnes of websites and reading a lot of white papers of new projects to find the next crypto gem. I got to learn that finding a good project is not a very easy task. Nevertheless, I eventually stumbled upon Steemit and everything about it just seemed right. As a university student without any form of income stream, the idea that I could churn out a lot of content and get financially rewarded for it seemed great to me so I decided to give it a go.

Final remarks and what to expect from me

Today is my second day after getting my Steemit account approved so as you can imagine, over the past few hours I have just been trying to learn everything I can about this community (am such an eager beaver right now lol). One thing that I have noticed, however, is how the community emphasizes having fun, being true to one's self and to not be solely driven by the financial incentives. As such, I think that is the motto that I am going to be living by and I hope I will be able to bring some value to the community.

In terms of what to expect from me, content wise, I love technology (well, I am a technology student so maybe I am biased lol) so expect me to write a lot of tech stuff; cryptocurrencies mostly, my new love. I however, do not mind going on a tangent sometimes and having a big fat discussion about anything that could be of interest to you guys, so yeah...I think I am that flexible. In that regard, please show some love to my account, and hit that follow button so that this newbie, eager beaver can gain a follower or two. I will also follow back and hear what you guys have to share as well.

That's all I have to say for now. Cheers Everyone and I hope you have a great day, or night...wherever you are. Happy Steeming!!!
