My name is Christine Grecco. Born and raised right here in eastern Kansas. Working a 9 to 5 staring at two large PC screens 10 inches from my face. So I will do my best to get this typed up before my eyes cross and my forehead is imprinted by my keyboard again…
I have been researching Steemit for several weeks now. Watching numerous YouTube videos and trying to decide if this was for me. I have always been an avid reader. My dream was to be a famous writer someday. I wrote poetry, short stories and funny articles and even got up the nerve to submit some of them to a couple magazines. But they got rejected, as most newbies do. Then life happened and I found myself working in the medical administration field, with a husband and two kiddos.
But the Steemit site might just be the platform I need to get that fire started again. I’m excited about writing and reading the content offered!
And, if I’m being completely honest, I will confess that the thing that really pushed me to make this jump is a new co-worker of mine. I’ve been training her for several days and getting to know her. She is a single mom struggling to make ends meet and she doesn’t have a car. She actually travels more than 30 miles to work every day via Uber. She has to pay $85 every day to get to and from work… that’s just crazy! She only makes a little more than that per day. So I decided that I wanted to help her out. I just recently quit my part time job about a month ago after working nearly 10 years at two jobs. But I sure miss the money…lol So whatever I am blessed with thru this journey will also help my friend and coworker.
It's been a long time since I was this excited about anything in a long time. Thank you!
