<div class=text-justify>

It's my second anniversary since I joined Hive [Blockchain](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/blockchain). In that time, I have learned so much, met more amazing friends, enjoyed my stay in different communities, worked on my skill more and eventually found a home where I can run to anytime I feel bored because it's always relieving here through reading posts that excite, inspires, lift my mood, and above all, helped me stay focused because of people's testimonies which has kept me going and with a word I have stuck with, ***"if they could achieve this, I can."*** Join me as I share my journey of another year which is my 2nd on Hive with you.

<div class=text-justify>

After finishing school last year in February, I said to myself, *"now, I can focus more on Hive since I wouldn't be going to lectures, planning and preparing for tests, reading for exams, submitting assignments and the toughest one, writing a project, at least for now"* because I would be going for my Masters. Yes, I had time for Hive and was ready to achieve my goals. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

After a few months, I decided to hunt for a teaching Job just to always leave home every day without being stuck in my room all day. For the record, I want more experience to be added to my Curriculum Vitae (CV). I got one in which a time for an interview was scheduled. The school's location is a bit far from my house and after the interview and talking about the salary, I calculated my transport fare, in the end, there wouldn't be anything. Well, I was told to go and that they would get back to me, but they didn't. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

I left Job hunting to focus on my blogging which I dedicated my time to it. I had problems which affected my activities on Hive and even slowed my earnings, I was discouraged because of that. I made up my mind, I left other blogging platforms for Hive as I saw a full bright future here. I wanted to be here. I wanted to make a lasting name here and desired to be part of this family while I grow my account. Trust me, it was a decision that seemed the best to me. Ever since then, I never regretted it because I saw improvement due to my dedication and consistency. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

It was last year I joined the [Leofinance](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-what-is-leofinance) community and I have loved being part of it. I witnessed the beta version of **Leothreads** where I was always active which helped me earn Leo tokens. I witnessed the [Leoglossary](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary) that was introduced by @taskmaster4450 and I kept following up with it on my Leofinance posts. Then, on the 14th of February, the [Alpha version of Leothreads](https://alpha.leofinance.io/threads) came out with amazing features being added every week. Seriously, the journey has never been easy but I kept going.

<div class=text-justify>

I invited people to come and enjoy Hive too, some stayed while others went because they just couldn't cope with it. I would not blame them but they are missing a lot. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

Hive contributed to my growth and success in terms of building my Hive Power and getting to help my family, especially my Dad and two siblings who are in school. With Hive, I never went to bed hungry because I always eat what I wanted. Buying things I desire, helped me to keep up with [savings](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-savings-account) and [budgeting](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-budgeting). Hive helped me not to go into [debt](https://leofinance.io/@leoglossary/leoglossary-debt). I learnt to power up my Hive, buy Leo with HBD, top up some of my Hive Engine tokens and even shared what I have through giveaways. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

These past two years on Hive have helped me improve. It made me got more committed to different communities where I was being supported and learnt a lot. I got to win in contests especially the Hodlcontest hosted by @hodlcommunity in the Leofinance community. I got to be featured as the winner and honourable mentions in communities like Hive Learners, Inkwell etc.
</div> 

<div class=text-justify>

I made a lot more friends compared to my first anniversary. Many old friends stayed and we still interact together on posts and outside Hive. I got to join the fun in the Neoxian city discord channel and there are amazing friends I keep up with. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

I stayed up every night just to prepare my posts and make sure they aren't done hurriedly as I give more time to making research and giving my best, and this has greatly helped me a lot on Hive and to add more knowledge. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

***"If you want to be for, and with Hive, you have got to do your best"*** this was something I keep saying to myself each day and it kept me going. Yes, there are times that I won't get a lot of upvotes, but my thinking changed when I started getting to know more about Hive. Not all days would be Christmas for you, all you need is to be positive every day and encourage yourself. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

I want to appreciate all my supporters who have helped me grow here. Your comments, feedback, and upvotes meant a lot to me. I couldn't have asked for more because seeing even just a comment gave me the boost that you cared about what I have to say and I have always enjoyed the interaction together. Some mentioned me to check out challenges, contests or information I needed to grow and I never took those for granted because it made me realize that I am being recognized on the Blockchain. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

When I see how my Hive Power is doing, it gives me the joy that I am growing. It helped me stay focused on helping others with my tiny vote value because it means something too. I do want to have enough Hive Power where my 100% would be enough to get someone a nice treat just like the big whales here. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

Hive celebrated its 3 years on the 20th and I am celebrating my two years today, the 30th of March. It's special to me and I love it too. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

I plan to keep going and never stop. I want to be with Hive for more years while I continue to grow my Hive Power which is important to me. I have goals here and I am always working hard to achieve them, including having enough Leo Power and other Hive engine tokens too. Yes, I am doing what it takes to keep this up. 
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

Since I celebrated my first anniversary, I have never missed posting for a day, and most times, I do two posts and it has been going well since then. I have decided not to miss this year so I could have more than 365 posts for the year while I earn the badge from @Hivebuzz.
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

Have I told you how encouraging Hivebuzz has been to me? I keep getting comments about my progress and growth which comes with encouragement to keep going. Do you know how exciting it is to be called a buzzy bee for posting each week without missing any day? It hasn't been easy but here I am today, working myself so hard just to be the best I have always wanted to be.
</div>

<div class=text-justify>

Celebrating my second year on Hive feels so great. I have tried my best to prove to the system that I am in for the game here. Hive has helped me a lot. Hive is the reason I am always helping others around me because if I have, I should give to others too. Doing this makes me appreciate this Blockchain the more because I do not have a Job yet but it makes me earn respect from people for reaching out whenever I can.
