I am fairly new to this. I have heard about this few days ago and tried it. More than anything, we should dwell on what the core of Steemit is, that is

Being real...by sharing people and expressing yourself for other people to learn from it.

Using steemit as a platform...either by promoting tourism and helping out communities around the world. Steemit being a medium to impart your thoughts and blogs and touching people's emotions.

Be "the change"...having a substance and making sense to "be the change"

Helping less fortunate children to go to school is the least thing i can do to help, 15 kids doesnt sound a lot but i wanted them to realize the value of education. So when i heard about steemit, the earnings will be a huge help in supporting them.
