estheromoyiwola:
Hello @sunnylife, it good and great to have you here on our interview series as the first ever to be interviewed on this platform. How do you feel about that?
sunnylife:
I'm excited to answer all the questions. Thanks for inviting me.
estheromoyiwola:
You are welcome. How has life been generally? Can we get to know who @sunnylife is in real life, I mean your personality, a few things about you?
sunnylife:
Growing up with 4 brothers, I learned to be tough at a very young age. My parents were separated and my mom raised us all alone. My elder brother became a mother and a father for us when my mother worked abroad. I'm not a girly girly @sunylife that you may think.
During my high school years I was always active with extra curricular activities. One of my clubs visited the Correctional Jail for Women in my country, Hospicio De San Jose, a home for homeless children. We sang and talked to them. I remember getting punished by my elder brother, I would come home late, because of so much school activities. He only wanted to protect me from the outside world. I never skipped school. I made a conscious decision for myself that I would finish my studies and help my family. During college days, life was hard, tuition fees were high. We were poor. I studied hard.

estheromoyiwola:
Finally, you joined steemit. How was things like? Were things rough for you when you started? I mean were you almost giving up after posting so much and didnt get the number of upvotes you have always wanted at first or you didnt have such a challenge?
sunnylife:
It was tough in the beginning. It was more a challenge for me to be there to have 40-50 reputation.
estheromoyiwola:
When you started, did you actually pick things to write on or you just write randomly as the spirit leads, smiles.
sunnylife:
No, i was lost., I was just experimenting everyday what to post.

estheromoyiwola:
I would like to ask of challenges you faced and how you conquered them, you dont know someone out there might need them to solve similar challenges.

sunnylife:
I'm still in the learning process
estheromoyiwola:
How have you been able to balance steemit with your normal daily activities?
sunnylife:
It's not easy in the beginning, Steemit is very addictive and if you don;t control yoursefl, you'll end like zombie lols. I try to divide my time, I do a little bit in the morning, afternoon and night time. Focus on prorities so you don't end up with empty hands at the end of the day.
estheromoyiwola:
Do you choose a time to post, like a fixed time or you post randomly?
sunnylife:
whenever I can I post something, it doesn't matter much the time.
estheromoyiwola:
Can you mention 5 steemians that contributed to your growth and success at the onset?

it's so many of them, I'll keep in my heart.

Papa bear started this community, he is a very generous, sweet, caring, generous loving person I know. @gratefulvibes community is a great reminder to us to be thankful no matter how small or big it is, focus on your blessings not on what you don't have.
estheromoyiwola:
If there is an advice to give to steemians especially those that just started or trying to find their ground here, what would that advice be?
sunnylife:
Be yourself. be consistent, blog everyday if you can, connect with people by heart not by mouth. Do not beg for upvotes or resteem. Like what I always says, Steemit is not a Sprint it's a marathon. make a genuine friendship, rememeber you are unique, shine and stay with a positive attitude, having positive attitude is the more important than your talent, focus on your blog and not th blog of others because this is a trap. You dont earn much? don't give up too fast, learn the platform. Save/invest Sp if you can. Enjoy your journey... Here is the link my survival tips on Steemit. My survival tips on steemit
