IF you’re trying your best, you are already a winner, @booneyclaudia.
And even
If you don’t make it into the top 3, think anout all the new people you will be meeting. Building a network is at least as much valuable as getting a delegation - those relationships will last and become closer as long as you are here on SteemIt. And they will Keep expanding.. Before you realize it, you will have your own, very strong support system in place.
Engagement with others and building a network of like-minded people is by far the most important factor if you want to progress here on SteemIt.
I’m confident that you can do it!!
