Powerup and win/ 90 STEEM

I pursued my passion for writing here on Steemit. I’ve been working hard to learn, so I keep trying out different writing styles. Aside from the diary game that I always posted, I also tried something different. I challenge myself in writing different genres like cooking, free writing, and other types of literature. I have tried to participate in various contests to develop my writing skills. I am observant of other users to gain ideas from them, especially in using Markdown.

As I wanted to grow my account, whenever I have some earnings, I’ll definitely power up right away. Just like the one who invited me here, my close friend and co-teacher, @kyrie1234, I idolized her for how she established herself here in Steemit. She is also the one who's been inviting me to join the Power Up contest, or maybe she just wanted me to remind myself to power up in that way.

It's really amazing to see other accounts with such a high reputation and huge steem power. It only means that they have been here for a long time, and consistently created quality content and have invested much of their time and resources in the Steemit platform. Those people will always inspire me and tell me that progress may be slow, but I might be there someday.

Now I power up 90 Steem. That is my earnings this week from payouts and contest prizes. I’ll just keep joining, who knows, I might get lucky and save up something along the way. It’s really inspiring to see those with big power-ups. I’m just taking it slow. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll get there too.

^{Before power up, I have 93.410 STEEM and 416.822 STEEM Power}

I believe that growth here in Steemit is not possible as long as you are consistent in writing and sincere in every post that you create. Make your dreams become reality, not just through wishing but with the right action and integrity, and then continue to believe that success will follow in time.

Little by little, let’s keep going. Someday, we’ll look back and realize that "every small power-up brought us closer to something big.”
