Hello and welcome! My name is Dorothy, and I am so excited to share this space with you. I was onboarded by Ma'am @antonette and @chinito to join in this community. Starting this blog feels like opening a new chapter in my life, and I want to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you why I decided to begin writing. I joined the Hive community because I want to grow, learn, and share my voice in a supportive space where creativity and connection matter. Being part of Hive gives me the chance to not only improve my writing and ideas but also to connect with people who value authenticity and respect.I also understand Rule Number 3, which is about respecting others and avoiding plagiarism. This means I commit to sharing only original content, giving credit when needed, and making sure my contributions are honest and valuable to the community.First, let me be honest—I am a complete newbie when it comes to blogging. I don’t have years of writing experience or a portfolio of published works to show off. What I do have is curiosity, a passion for learning, and a strong desire to express myself through words. I believe that even beginners have stories worth telling, and I hope this blog becomes a space where both you and I can learn and grow together.

Before stepping into this journey, I worked in the BPO (Business Process Outsourcing) industry. For several years, I was part of the fast-paced world of customer service and support. At first, it was just a job, but over time, I realized how much that experience shaped who I am today. Working in BPO taught me patience, adaptability, and empathy. I learned how to handle different personalities, communicate clearly, and solve problems under pressure. Every call, every customer interaction, and every challenge contributed to my growth—not just as a professional but also as a person.

Now you might be wondering, how does that connect to writing? The truth is, communication is at the heart of both customer service and storytelling. In the BPO industry, I had to listen carefully, understand someone’s concerns, and find the right words to respond. Writing is similar—it’s about finding the right words to connect with readers, express ideas, and maybe even make a positive impact. So while I may be new to blogging, I feel like my BPO experience has given me a foundation that will guide me in this new adventure.

In this blog, I plan to write about different things: reflections from my career, lessons I’ve learned along the way, and personal insights that I hope will inspire or encourage someone else. I also want to document my journey as a beginner in writing—sharing both the challenges and the small victories. My goal is not to sound perfect but to stay authentic and relatable. If you are also starting something new in your life, maybe you will find comfort in knowing you are not alone.

I know that beginnings can be scary. There are doubts, fears, and that little voice that asks, “What if I’m not good enough?” But I believe that growth happens when we take chances. This blog is my way of taking that chance. It’s a leap into something unfamiliar, but it’s also an opportunity to discover new strengths and build meaningful connections.
Thank you for visiting and reading my very first post. I hope you’ll join me on this journey as I continue to explore, learn, and grow as a writer. Here’s to new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and the courage to simply start.
