When I was a student, I didn't bother to join campus journalists. I wanted to but I can't stay long in school, I didn't join any extracurricular activities because my mom will scold me if I come home late, because I have to do some household chores and babysitting. She doesn't want me to study in the first place.
Every time we had an essay or reaction paper activities, I always have good marks with it because I wrote long enough and on point with the topics, I have so much to say. One of my teachers told me to join the campus journalists because I have the potential to write but I didn't do it because even if I wanted to, I have so many responsibilities to take care of. I can't even have time to study because I am almost lack of time, during weekends I help working on the farm. Not just that I can sing and dance too but those basic talents weren't developed because I don't have any moral support.
When I went to college one of my roommate suggested me to join dancers club or a band. I just need more practice to cultivate it but I didn't bother too because my life really sucks. If you happen to read one of my articles about my life biography, you will know I cannot have time to cultivate my basic talents because of my situations.
During High School years, every time I had a vacant time I write some stories in my notes, and I had wish out of the blue 'I wanted to be a writer someday'. It was just a wish without taking it seriously, I never thought that one day read cash will give me the opportunity to fulfill my childish wish. I never thought I could write one day, I never thought I could express everything out in my head freely. Although I am not yet an established writer, just a typical blogger wanna be but it is enough for me. I am oozing with fulfillment feelings, especially some users who appreciate and liked my ink style of writings.
This platform helps me to develop my writings and helps me to fulfill my wishful thinking during my youth. I never know that one day I will back subject to the stage I had skipped. Maybe time knows, I have a passion but it was shut down during those years of difficulties. Now, I have given a chance, a beautiful chance because I am writing on a platform with a global audience or readers. How nice is it right? That is why I have fallen for this platform because it made me felt, I am fulfilling the blank page of my youth. The most amazing part is that I earned from it, how cool is that?
Now, I am not just fulfilling my wishful thinking of youth but I am also learning and filling the blank space of my present. I am learning a lot especially cryptocurrency, out of 8 billion people in the world I am one of those people who have a chance to learn the technology advancements just by reading and interacting with knowledgeable people.
The Internet is powerful enough to connect us, it seems that we are in a virtual village. I really appreciate this chance, who knows this would be my stepping stone to achieve something in the future, we may never know only time can tell just like how it fulfilled my youthful desire.

I used to be a highschool journalist, too. But I started writing on school papers when I was in 5th grade. I even had few write ups published on school paper. It feels good to see your writings visible in newspapers. 😁 Well, unexpectedly I won the best Filipino editorial in the early years of my highschool. Sometimes its kind of pressuring me when it's time for submission and I got tired.. Hahaha! I can't cope up with academics, so I chose to lie low in writing.
