Hello beautiful Hivians and friends...
Image was designed by @projectmamabg
It's been five months now since I've been part of the newbies initiative and for this five months, I've received so much support and love from both the the newbies founder, team and even my fellow newbies and it has made my journey here so beautiful and memorable. I remember I joined hive December last year and I got to know about the newbies initiative through my sister who advised me to try and apply for the initiative. At some point I almost took it for granted but then I challenged myself not to give up without even trying because the application was already closing.
- Task one
I took the bold step and I was so happy when I saw a post that confirmed that I made it to be a part of the newbies initiative. We were given different lectures on different topics and after each lesson, we were asked to give a summary of why we understood from it. The first lesson we received was from @starstrings01 where he taught us on how to make smart goals and thereafter, we were asked to set smart goals for ourselves even as we start our journey on Hive.
- Task 2
The next lecture we received was also from @starstrings01, he taught us how to use markdowns on our writeups to make it look presentable. It was one of the best things for me because I was so overwhelmed at how I put some symbols at some point of my writings and it appears very beautiful, it was really impressive for me.
- TASK 3
We also were given a lecture on Hive keys and security and in this tutorial, we were made to understand the use of the different keys and how important they are to us. We were also taught how we can recover our keys if we ever loose them and also how to change our recovery account and many more.
- TASK 4
The next task we were given was about the different Dapps that are present on the hive blockchain. After receiving this lecture I was able to realize that we have more than just Peakd, Leofinance and Ecency front-ends, there are others but my best now is Ecency and Peakd.
- TASK 5
Moving forward, we were given another tutorial on tags and tribe tokens. I got to understand that some communities on Hive has its own tribe tokens which they use to support their members and others who make use of their tags. It was not so new to me then but I also learned how to convert them to hive through the Hive engine and its all thanks to @samostically.
- TASK 6
The last tutorial we received was on blockchain games with more emphasis on splinterlands games. In this tutorial we were made to understand that we have different games that are built on the Hive blockchain and how we can play them for fun and also earn in the process. We were further taught how the splinterlands game works and how to play as well.
So above was just a brief overview of what we as the newbies part of the newbies initiative benefitted from it.
What do you think about the newbies initiative and how has it been beneficial?
From the above summary I gave, you already know that this user has benefitted so much from the newbies initiative. I think the Newbies Initiative is a life saver, a good place for anyone (whether or not you are a newbie) to learn. I think the Newbies initiative is a home we're newbies on Hive can find solace. I was just barely two months old when I go to join the newbies Hive and I felt comfortable with so many things because I knew I had support from the Newbies initiative.
The Newbies initiative has been beneficial to me in the aspect of giving out quality contents, acquiring more knowledge of how the Hive blockchain works and also growth. I might have still be struggling to understand some things about Hive but the newbies initiative has changed that for me.
How has the task given been helpful?
The task given were seven in total including this post and I only attempted 6 (this included) of them because I was not sure of how to go about the fourth task, I was nervous and I couldn't participate in it. But despite the fact that I didn't do the task, I still learned from it, very well. Because of the task given, I can strive here on Hive with ease, I even assist others now in answering some of their questions and it's all because of these tutorials and task that were given.
What needs to be improved on and how can it be done?
Well, I will say this question is a question that is only asked by those who want to grow and be better and I'm so happy to see this question. There are some certain things I observed about the initiative and the people that were chosen.
Out of all the Newbies that were selected, more than half of them did not participate in the task and that's not something of good report at all. I think the way to tackle this problem is to eliminate newbies as the task go on. In every task given, any Newbie that fails to participate for no reason (without permission) should be eliminated from the Newbies Initiative and that way it will make other Newbies more serious of the task that is before them.
There should be someone who cross check the task given to the Newbies to tell them how well or how poorly they performed. What I mean is, this is kind of a school for Newbies to grow, so it's just right that when the students are given work to do, they should also be assessed by the teachers and also necessary corrections should be given as well.
- The support given to Newbies, sometimes I feel it's not based on merit but on luck, well it's not really bad like that but I think it's wise to give more support to those that did really well at every task, that way it will make others want to do better next time. And based on this, there should be guidelines on how to attain that, it can be through engagement, length and quality of the post and the time which the task was given.
Well, these are just some few things I can pen down that I think if implemented, it will make the Newbies initiative have some really good standards and it will be treated with respect and diligence.
Show us a recount of your goals and how far you have come through.
MY HIVE POWER
In the first task that was given to us, we were asked to set a smart goal and I did mine. First of all I talked on my Hive power (hp) I set the target of hitting 150 hp by the end of three months and to my greatest surprise, I hit almost more than that even before the end of three months.
Here's a screenshot of my Hive power five months ago.
Here's a screenshot of my Hp even before the three months was over.
Here's a screenshot of the post I've made even before three months and I actually made 101 post by the end of three months.
MY POSTS/COMMENTS
Here's also a screenshot of the comments I've made at the end of three months.

After the task
This is a summary of my goals and achievements and as it appears, by the strength and wisdom God has given to me, I was able to achieve all my set goals and I will love to thank you for your support through votes, comments and Reblogs they really helped me in achieving my goals and even more.
SPECIAL APPRECIATION TO THE NEWBIES INITIATIVE
This initiative has added to my growth in so many ways that I can't even say and I will want to specially appreciate the people behind this beautiful initiative. I'm not really sure of all the people that have made this initiative stand but I do know of the founder who is no other person but @starstrings01, he has been a great mentor and a great motivation to so many of us Newbies.
I also want to thank @theycallmedan, @aliento and the trail, they've been so supportive in the aspect of Upvotes and it really helped me in achieving my goals too. I always feel so happy and grateful whenever I saw a notification from them and that has always made me put in more effort to making good posts so I can show more appreciation to their support. And also a big thank you to @projectmamabg for the beautiful badge she designed for this initiative. And others that I did not mention, thank you for your support 🙏.
Indeed you guys have added value to me in ways that I never even imagined and I'm so thankful to you all. And as a part of #leadingwithgenerosity initiated by @unklebonehead, I will was to set 75% beneficiary to @starstrings01 for his continuous support, I know it might be little but please just see it as a little something for all you do. And I will also want to set the remaining 25% beneficiary to @ksam for guessing the date of my Birthday right, his guess was 25th of this month and that was a correct guess.
Happy birthday in advance dear!

I really hope to teach newbies and help them out but I will still need to learn more so it will be more productive 🙈🥰.
I'm really shocked myself, I was aiming at 100 but in the space of the extra two months, I got ×5 of what I needed to complete 100 followers.
I hope to keep this fire burning 🔥🔥🤸♀️🤸♀️🤸♀️.

I love you too sis ❤️
Hahaha, I'm so glad you arrived safely oo 😁😁.
That's right, let's keep playing our cards right 😎😎.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
The transformation and knowledge gained is indeed massive. I can tell that aside the knowledge gained from the Initiative, you also took out time to make your own research and that is really impressive.
You've also highlighted vital points with regard to making this project grow exceedingly well.
And finally,...... yeeeeeeee
I got the guess work 🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
Happy Buyday in next two weeks 😁 and thank you for the special gift 🤩
Awwn...that's so sweet of you to say, yes I did make some research to get extra knowledge but it was still because I was challenged by the task given by the newbies initiative.
I'm so glad you think they are vital points, I really hope to see how it will work out if implemented 🤞🤞.
Yes Ksam, I was so surprised you got that guess right, it gave me so much joy to see you got the guess right ☺️☺️.
Thank you for guessing right, if you hadn't gotten that guess right then nobody would have gotten it too 😢.
Thank you for wishing me in advance 🤸♀️🔥❤️🥰😁🤩.
Yes they are, because I remember that many people applied for this Newbies Initiative and many were also approved. But, we have less than 10 or 15 people active. Hence, there's need to step up the game.
Even though my guess came at the dying minutes 😅😅😅 e be like say this dying minutes things dey work for me ooo 🤸♂️🤸♂️🤸♂️
Thank you so much dear
Wow, so we were many that have been seeing this and none of us said anything? We nor know wetin to do to them sha nai cause am.
Yes oo, I think so too, anytime you take your time the result is always massive 🔥🔥.
It is well
It'll get better someday
Even Bible said, many are called but few are chosen.
Yes that's it, it will surely get better someday 🤞🤞.
Awwwwn
Thank you Aunty Rainbow 😁 🌈
Hahaha, you are just one funny guy, aren't? 😂😂.
You're welcome jare, just be making me smile anyhow 🥰🥰.
Ahn ahn
Isino dem dah say you are Rainbow 😅😅
Hahaha, so what do you say?
Wow! I am superb impressed.. I don't know what to say really. The way you summarised each task and answered the question is unique and well done. You made all your goals, what more can I say, you followed the activities of the initiative and all the advice given by the initiative.
I can boastfully say you have a great future ahead of you on Hive! Keep it Up. Thank you so much for the beneficiary..
Happy Birthday in Advance!
I'm so happy you are impressed with my work and I hope to keep growing and also help others just the way you have helped me. I'm so thankful for this beautiful feedback, it means a lot to me 🙏🥰.
Smiles, thank you Star, I hope this growth continues and know no bounds 🤞🔥🤸♀️. Thank you for being so supportive 🙏.
And thank you for sending in advance birthday wishes 🙈🥰❤️.
That's the spirit... paying it forward so it can get to everyone.
Yes that's part of the ultimate goal 💯🔥, I just pray God continues to give me all that I need to meet that goal 🙏.
don't worry! He would... I trust him!
Thank you so much for the 50 points by the way
Amen, I trust him too 💯❤️.
You're always welcome Sir 🙌.
Wahoo 💃💃💃💃💃💃🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳, in addy sweety💖
Where will I start 😅😇
You have done so great in achieving far more than your set goals. I can't thank the team behind this program enough because the nurturing and grooming have been amazing.
I also had it in mind to point out the nonchalant attitude of some beneficiaries in attending to the tasks. One of them told me that she applied and was taken but later lost interest after gaining ground in this space, you can imagine that, whereas some are yearning to be taken for this program. Well, I wish @starstrings01 will look into some of these adjustments you pointed out!
Once again congratulations 🎉 on your 🎓 graduation.
Note: I am yet to graduate oo, that's why I haven't submitted this last task 🤫😏... it's heavy in my heart to accept this reality. You know what, I didn't miss any of the tasks given to us but this last task 🤔🤔🤔, it is well oo
I will just hold my heart to accept it and submit it tomorrow 😥
Smiles.. Definitely, I would look into it. Infact I would take my time to restructure the whole initiative.
It may take time before the next cohort would start... Definitely the initiative would be far better.
That's a really good idea, it's a good idea to go slow and steady for the next round. But hope you are still happy with this batch shall oo?.
Ehn, one more thing, it will be also good to compare each st to the previous ones, that way, it will also help to track the progress of the project.
That will be nice, but then can we recommend a newbie to you? Those that are eager and yearning to succeed here? Those who are sure of taking the tutorial seriously? Let me know if it's possible.
Also, are we expecting a graduation certificate or party??🎉
🤓🤓🤓🤣🤣🤣
Just kidding, don't mind Nkem, She can be so funny sometimes 😉, @hopestylist can explain better😜
hmm... most times is not by the recommendation that would say but their activities. If someone is yearning to succeed, his activities would show. But feel free to recommend me a newbie.
That's how it is sha, if the person is eager to learn, he or she should just follow the necessary procedures like every other person would.
Okay, well noted👍
Normally, you always like catching cruise. Ehn, that bag that you made that I said coming to collect so, is like I will have to forget about it oo. The plane that I want to enter na go and spoil 😏😩.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Better come oo
I am expectant!!
Hahaha, no way again oo. The only way now is private jet and I don't have that kind of money, lol.
Don't worry, I will dash you my active keys 🤣🤣🤣😜
Yeah mama, thank you 🥰🥰🥰.
It has been a fun time with you on this newbies initiative and you have been so supportive and encouraging, I'm so glad we were in the same batch, hehehe.
I'm so glad you thought in the same direction as myself, it's really heartbreaking to see how they behaved nonchalantly towards the task
We are not leaving the initiative, we are only graduating, I'm sure we can always stop by to say hello, right @starstrings01, please say yes oo, lol.
I will be expecting your entry soon Ma'am 🤩🤩🥰🥰.
No wahala😄😄

Hi @Hopestylist
Seems like all who applied and were accepted to the newbies initiative could complete each task at their leisure. It would have been unfair to eliminate you for not completing task 4 because you sure have your reasons to avoid or delay that task.
It would have been painful to be eliminated but if I didn't do the task for a good reason then I will have to bare the consequences of my actions.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving your comment 🙏😊.
Indeed the newbies initiative has helped us all and they are life savers as you said earlier. You have achieved a lot through this initiative.
And your reputation skyrocket so fast and I'm so happy that you were able to go this far.
Thanks to all the teams and every other person who supported this initiative. It was fun solving those task given.
At some point, I was thinking this shouldn't end but they still have to help other newbies who just recently joined Hive
You have really achieved a lot and I hope you continue to progress.
Yes it has and we are really so grateful for to them.
It helped me get to this point I am now and I really do hope it cone that way.
Thank you for stopping by and leaving such a beautiful comment, I wish you all the best too 😍😘.
I missed one task too because I wasn't as available as I used to be and that's the task 6.. but I still went on to read about it and i got to learn a lot from it.
My.... you've grown tremendously well over the last 5months and I must say I like your dedication and zeal, you've been so much like your sister, like the saying"birds of a feather flock together", you've been every where and anywhere worth being and that has shaped you to be better.
Happy birthday in arrears dear ❤️
I understand that, I was really impressed by some persons that did all the task, they were incredible I must say.
I'm really so happy I'm growing and yes my sister was a huge motivation too..
Thank you for your advance wishes dear, I really appreciate this comment from you 🙏🌹.
Glad to see you pushing yourself every step of the way...
You're welcome dear ❤️
I thank God for his goodness...
❤️❤️
Yes I have but don't feel bad at all, just start working on getting the goal you've set for yourself.
That's good ❤️✌️.
