Hi steemit,
I'll keep this quick and short. Name's Benny, Chinese-American, born and raised in New York. Currently an architecture student at Pratt Institute and I'm looking for a platform to showcase my work○○○
)After my first year of college, I had decided to take a break from my education to experience a little bit of life...on my own terms.
I learned, I played, I explored.
Although I quickly became accustomed and content with this lively lifestyle, it was lonely. Weeks and months started to speed by and soon time became a blur. My job at Gaonnuri, a high-end Korean restaurant in K-town NYC, had become so mundane, autonomous and above all, torturous. This story-line had hit a dead end.
Three years passed by quickly but luckily I was able to make my way back to Pratt. It's weird being a sophomore, while all your former classmates are in their thesis year and getting ready to graduate. But I'm grateful for all the familiar faces who were willing to give a helping hand. The transition back into a learning environment wasn't as smooth as I had planned it to be and it was definitely a little hectic.
Aside from the constant dreadful feeling of lagging further and further behind my peers, it was a good year of learning. I was able to attend Pratt's graduation of 2018 and from the bottom of my heart, I wish all my friends the greatest of success in whatever paths they choose take.
Fast tracking to where I am currently
Around two weeks ago I attended an exhibition which a close friend of mine, @twotoedsloth, had invited me to. It was titled Crypto Renaissance, located in Bushwick, Brooklyn and put together by @sndbox, a company currently run by two architects, Michael Lee and Kirk Finkel. The focus was Steem, a currency that powers social media platforms that rewards its community for the content it creates. The project that stood out among all the others was Steem Park. To me, cryptocurrency is still tied with notions of disbelief and skepticism. So for something so intangible to be able to take an idea by real world people and to manifest it in the real world by creating a real world occupiable space... now that is eye opening.
I will be using steemit as a way of showcasing my ideas and design processes. My problem now is the lack of consistency, always being quickly entertained by an idea and just as quickly losing interest.
This is where I learn to define myself as a future architect and designer.
I look forward to sharing my work, learning from all your feedback and thank you for welcoming me into the community

Hey man! Welcome to steemit. From what I read, you're no stranger to steem concept, so I won't bore you with newbie stuff. I'm probably the first one to actually write a comment. Believe me, even the ones that look sincere, usually are copy/paste, yeah, I know, pretty sad.
Leaving school and going back, that's tough, I did it my self and it didn't go so well for me, so kudos to you. Sounds like you got a good grasp on "reality", I'm looking forward to seeing your work and your ideas. Have fun and don't take anything too seriously.
Must be nice to have friends in high places; couple weeks, one post and your rep's already at 41 :)
You are great.
