A girl in a world....on to BIG things✨

in #introduceyourself5 years ago (edited)

Hello there!! Super duper excited to utilizing this platform as i feel it has sooo much potential. I would first like to start off by just telling you who i am and why i am here.

BBAE0A7F-5065-4217-A90B-5C7743F84AA2.jpeg

My name is Maya and I am a 24 year old living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’ve had a pretty amazing life, of course with its ups and huge downs, i am just
So happy and grateful i am here honestly. I grew up in north Philadelphia raised by a single mother who made sure her daughter was well taken care of. From a young age my mom always had me involved in extra curricular activities such as dancing, music, sports and so many more. I don’t think there was ever a summer i wasn’t in camp lol.

College was a blast. I attended West Chester University In the fall 2013, where i was able to meet some life long friends and also learn some life lessons🥴 College shaped me into the woman i am today. Without college i still would’ve been the spoiled little girl relying on her mom for everything. I was able to graduate in the fall of 2017 earning a BS in Finance and minor in Accounting.

Throughout college there were plenty of battles i had to face but the most dreadful of them all was....preparing to fight this battle with my mom...the big C..that’s right CANCER...I’m not going to go too much into detail but from that point on my life was change....

Fast forward to present day...my mother has since past..coming up on a year actually..and a lot has changed...i plan on using this platform to tell MY STORY...to shed some light on how I overcame some dreadful battles and even the BLUEPRINT to a couple projects I’m working on to become very successful.

I just want to IMPACT LIVES.

Simply put do not judge me on my past....wait for my future ✨

Welcome the new steemians. Have a great day!

Maya, from the city of brotherly love, welcome. I'm already in love with your story. Yeah, college can help people for sure. I attended four colleges and learned a lot. But ultimately, at least some cases, it may depend, to some extent, on the college. Love your hair. Love your spirit. I love camp too. You must be an awesome mother. Keep up the good work.

Thank you sooo much for the welcome and the advice. Truly appreciated. I’ll definitely check your blog out.

Welcome to the Steemit community @maya.s-6!
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,
    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:
