GTKM: Getting To Know Me

Hello to you! Yes, YOU!

This might be the first time that you get to read a post from me, might as well give me this opportunity to let you know more about me.

Let's start start from the basics...

I am Arman Ann Trazo, @namranna -- 22, Electronics Engineer, Private Math Tutor, an Entrepreneurial Enthusiast, Personal Development Promoter/Fanatic and above all, a Work in Progress.

Ooops, maybe you're now having ideas about me being an Electronics Engineer. You might be thinking of diodes, resistors, schematic diagrams, semiconductors and the like, or even antennas.

Sorry to tell you, I've already buried most of them in the Land of Forgotten Lessons. Haha, just to note also, I do not repair TVs or any electronic gadgets. Still, I am proud I survived 5 years of BS Electronics Engineering. That being said, you might be wondering where am I right now? Well, I'm here in my room writing a post for steemit. Haha :D

Kidding aside, I am currently developing myself in the I.T Industry and working as a Developer in one of the best I.T company worldwide. You've read it right, I am still "developing myself". I'm still a newbie in this kind of job and I am no pro at reading/constructing codes but I am trying and learning in the best way I can. Programming didn't interest me when I was still in college but really, I have appreciated it so much in this point of my life.

Moving forward, I am also into accepting Math Tutorial sessions. I have started tutoring students so young and now that I am older, it is just so hard to stop. Tutoring has really made a special place in my heart. 

Aside from Filipino tutees, I've also had tutees of different nationalities already, such as, Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Americans and English. Well, all of these experiences were one-on-one tutorial sessions, I haven't tried online tutorials though because of two reasons: First, I lack resources to use for online sessions and Second, I prefer live interactions with students. Anyhow, if ever given the chance to do online sessions now, maybe I can make arrangements.

I am also an entrepreneurial/business enthusiast. Never in my past life have I dreamt of being an entrepreneur. I hated selling when I was young not until the turning point that served as my inspiration to love entrepreneurship. I was also greatly influenced by my boyfriend from his newly found interest-- business and investing. After I graduated college and passed the country's board examination, in my journey as an unemployed graduate without experience, I have come to appreciate the beauty behind the idea of business, profits and especially service. I have come to realize that one great avenue of service for others is through entrepreneurship. It is not just about selling and making sales, but it is also about how many people you've reached through your products/services and helping each of them address their individual needs even without your presence. How great is that!

Why am I here? 

I like writing, I like sharing and I like earning (Hahaha). It is just so amazing to know that these three are combined here in Steemit! I am truly happy to discover that this kind of platform exits, wherein I can share my heart out at the same time earn because of it.

I have already liked writing, even though my write-ups are just for essay contest and composition writing for High School. Well, my future write-ups would still be stuck in my head and never getting into a medium if not because of my mighty and amazing friend @smaeunabs. I am very grateful and thankful for she is very diligent in encouraging me to join this amazing platform. She has this astounding vision to spread how great the Steemit world is and yeah, she's taking it seriously!

Thank you so much @smaeunabs! I am so proud of what you become right now and I am looking forward to share the same thoughts with you about financial literacy and spreading the good news about Steemit.

My views about Steemit

I have done some minor research about Steemit, but unfortunately, I cannot picture out the system aside from knowing that I can blog anything here and earn. I have come across terms such as SBD and steempower that really sound alien to my ears. As of this writing, I have not fully grasp the idea of these because I am not that familiar when it comes to crypto-currencies.

Let me again thank my friend @smaeunabs, she willingly gave me a glimpse of the bigger picture and made me look at earning and sharing from another perspective. She made me understand and at least helped me connect the dots on how this platform works. You can read more from her posts!

Furthermore, I strongly believe that experience is the best teacher and I am living it up to Steemit to make me understand further. I wanted you to know guys that I am beyond willing. My fellow steemians, feel free to enlighten me more along this shared journey.

What can I contribute to the Steemit Community?

1. Book/Conference/Seminar Reviews 

Since higschool, I have already found joy in reading books. It's just that now, I have shifted my preferred genre from adventure, magic and love stories into inspirational and motivational ones. Also, reading about business & investments, personal development, self-improvement and personal finance are so welcoming and felt like home. With this, I am thrilled to share to you my reviews, realization and learning from the books that I have read of the famous to not-so-famous authors and from the events that I have attended. At least, I can help you what books to read if ever you find my review worthy.

2. Financial Literacy

When I was still in my college sophomore years, me and my best friend talked about mutual funds and long-term "saving". What do we know about investments? We lacked knowledge and were so young to hunger more about it. I have not focused more about it since I was busy balancing academics and my extra curricular activities. However, the vision came back and became vivid after graduation. I started to love the idea of long term investments and personal finance with the help of my boyfriend who just became a Certified Investment Solicitor (CIS) under one of the known investment companies here in the Philippines.

I will help promote Financial Awareness to my fellow Filipinos in order to at least share to them that it is very important to prepare for the future and to not live it up to what is of the moment.

3. Personal Experiences and anything under the sun

I believe that Steemit is a great platform to share anything!

My Expectations

Upon knowing some background about Steemit, I am expecting 3 Major Things:

1. Build myself through writing/reading/sharing posts.

Steemit consists of different kinds of writers, bloggers and contributors. In connection to this, I am looking forward to learn different things from you my fellow steemian. I am also considering to build my writing skills here, for through your upvotes/comments/interactions, it can improve and boost up my confidence.

2. Build and develop connections.

I am looking forward to share this journey with you! We might have different perspective but I am certain, that at one point, we share similar mindset such as being here at Steemit!

3. Contribute and make an impact to you.

As much as the things that you have contributed in my development and growth as an individual. May you allow me also to contribute to yours. Cheers!


You reading this is priceless. This is my first post and your comments regarding my post will be highly appreciated. Thank you so much and "read" you around! :D

Sort:  

Welcome to family :)

Thank you @aluma! ;)

Absolutely amazing! To be honest this is one of the best #introduceyourselfpost I've read. Wow!

Hi! We have chosen the same field. I am a 5th year Electronics and Comm Engineering student and welcome to Steemit! :)

All of your expectations are correct but let me add something. Back when June when I started in Steemit I ony thought Steemit could solve my financial woes in life. It did but not only that! I keep Steeming and I realized it is much more than that. I got a vision :

  • That it is the future of social media. Think of an incentivized reddit and that's how I can define Steemit easily. You are rewarded from the content you share and being rewarded from the authors/users/co-Steemians.

  • A perfect place to hone our writing skills. In Steemit, we aren't judged by our grammar. We are judged by the value of content that we give. Shitty post aren't rewarded that much here.

  • Content is the raw material of Steemit, it is the site's brand. Thus, a perfect place to expand our knowledge. Things about life, fiction, science, cryptocurrency, bitcoin, and even entrepreneurial skills!

  • A Social Media Site for Students. I think this is a potential Facebook, Instagram and Twitter Killer. Students spend much of their time on a site they arent rewarded? 100% are being swallowed by the management and never rewarding us, users.

Oh my God. I have lots to share to you as we have the same field taken Haha. Thanks to @smaeunabs for sharing Steemit to you. I also did an effort in inviting her to Steemit and I am glad that she gained a lot of success in this platform. You too :)

Keep Steeming and believe Steemit will fly to the moon :)

Wow! It is so nice to know that we have sailed the same boat in taking up Electronics Engineering @jassennessaj! I am excited to meet you in person! :D If you're that kind of student who participate in IECEP Activities, I bet I have already met you 2-3 years ago. You're 5th yr, right? I guess, I have to congratulate you ahead of time for your graduation this year! More power and more to influence!

Anyways, thank you so much for your appreciation, I felt honored. Hoping to know more about Steemit through you also, aside from my mentor @smaeunabs. You guys did great in spreading this platform like fire! I am looking forward to contribute in doing so, too. I am also hoping that you guys continue to look into my posts soon. You guys just doubled my interest in being here! Cheers! xoxo

Thank you so much for taking some of your time for inspiring and encouraging my friend @jassennessaj!!! I couldn't agree more with the points you've mentioned above! It's a great starter pack for newbies like @namranna

And words are not enough to express how grateful I am for bringing me here. I owe you a lot! 🤗😆
Thank youuu lodiii!

Ahaha I think I misused the word effort on my comment above. My apology 😂

Hahahaha true! effort is an understatement. Great effort is the best way to define it. Up until now, I am saving the screenshots of the important tips you've shared when i was still a newbie and even up until now!

Thank you for being so genuine in your advocacy to help others for spreading the Steemit spirit.

No no no. Hahaha. I hope you're not getting it the wrong way. I felt arrogant on my above comment so I corrected some. Haha

Wahahahahaha wala man gud lodi!! Really, thankyou gyud! I i dont see anything wrong with the comment above man gud.

And when i said great effort, what i meant was the huge efforts you have poured to nurture me and everyone who look up to you here on Steemit. 🤗😄

Again thankyouuuu so much hahahaha never ending thankyous aren't enough to express how grateful i am gyud! 🤗😉😙

Yes, I will! Thank you so much for being part in this journey! :)

Welcome to the steemit world @namnarra.

Thank you for the warm welcome @jonnahmatias1016!

You are always welcome pretty @namranna. Looking forward for your blog.

This is a great post and very inspiring! I am new to Steemit as well but have not done my introduction yet (although I do have one post). Here's a chance to help out a fellow steemian- how do you put pics in your post? I hope to read more of your stuff in the future!

Hello @jconthachef! Thank you for dropping by :) Welcome to Steemit, too! I suggest you make your intro post so that you can tell our fellow steemians things what we need to know about you ;)

As for adding picture to your post, if the picture is from the internet, you can just right click and choose "Copy image address" and then paste that address in your post (where you want to place it) or you can upload it and copy the link that is generated from the upload. You can upload by choosing the "Editor" mode in Creating a Post. Also, you can find the generated link after the successful upload on the end part or after the "html". Hope this helps!

OK, thanks. Your instructions were helpful. I will be sure to tag you in my GTKM post!

Thank you ;) I appreciate the thought. Hoping to read your introduceyourself post in no time. Steem on! ;)

Welcome! I also review books on my own blog, mostly #science, #history, and #scifi. If you have recommendations about Filipino or other Asian authors (in English) I'd appreciate it.

Hello @plotbot2015! Thank you for the warm welcome! As for the authors, I cannot give names in line to your interest. I only know textbooks in Science and History. 😊

Nevertheless, i'd surely love to read your reviews for the books you've read. Maybe it'll spark interest in me and might as well do some of those, too! Thanks again! I'll follow you, hoping you'll follow back.

Welcome @nammranna, awesome introductory post! I'm new here too. I I wish mine was half as good as this. I'm looking forward to reading more posts from you, especially if it's about Financial Literacy. I truly need help tips in that area haha. Cheers! +1 follower

Glad to hear another warm welcome @jazzhero! Wow, we're on the same boat in being a new here! Let's work on ourselves to better improve in the community. Let me welcome you, too! 😉 I'll follow back, cheers! 🥂

Thanks a lot for +1 follow. Agree, let's persevere for ourselves and the community ;) I'm sure soon, you'll really make an impact in other people's lives.

Thanks for that declaration! I am hoping too! Well, everyone can really make an impact to other's lives if they want to. Glad we're here in Steemit, making that vision near to realization.

Hey @namranna,

Good post. I can see you thought it through. Well done. Planning is key.

Keep up the good work.

Later,
