Hello Steem! It's about time I introduced myself

mini me.jpg

A short introduction of.. Me

My name is John and I'm from Denmark.
I've lived in Denmark my entire life but I'd like to experience working in a different country some day. In 2016 I graduated with a bachelor's degree in teaching and have since been working as a teacher, first at a public school and since at a private school.
The topics I teach are Danish, history and art.

Other than being a teacher, I'd label myself as a filmophile, a blockchain enthusiast (which is how I discovered Steemit) and a hobby photographer.
Emphasis being on hobby, - I don't have any fancy equipment or photo-editing knowledge.

If you look at how long I've had my account, you will see that I've managed to procrastinate doing this for quite some time. This seems to be a theme, as it's been a while since I decided to work on my writing skills, and only recently actually sat down to do so.

Being a teacher is a job that frequently pulls the carpet away from beneath your feet. Let's just say that this has resulted in numerous gut-punching, hilarious - and not so hilarious - existential crisis-inducing experiences. There's always something to be learned from any experience though, right? I try to keep that in mind.

I look forward to sharing my experiences and the lessons I've learned with you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post!

John! Hello and welcome!

It's a big ol' crazy ocean out here, but keep swimming around and sharing posts! You'll get the hang of it. Honestly, the hardest part is just coming back and making it a habit.

And yes, there's always something to learn from experiences, especially hilarious ones. 🤣

It sure is. I'm grateful that there's also great abundance to be found. - And also grateful that you took the time to read and reply! I absolutely love that there's a Minnow Support Project, that's awesome. Thank you for mentioning me!

I think that it helps if you look for the hilarity in these life lessons, - it can help "digest" them :-)

Your post was mentioned in the Steem Hit Parade for newcomers in the following category:

Welcome to the Steemit community @john.abides!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Eight suggestions to consider:

  1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
  2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
  3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
  4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
  5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
    be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own
    .
  6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
  7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
  8. Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:
