For many years, I stayed behind the scenes, but yesterday, I decided to step out and join the Cebu Blogging Summit 2014 at the University of San Jose Recoletos – Basak Campus.
In the past, I had avoided attending Blogger Meets due to my lack of writing confidence and shyness. However, I came to realize that I wouldn't be able to improve if I kept to myself. I was determined to get better and hoped that one day I would be proud of my achievements.
I was incredibly nervous and unsure of myself, but I pushed through my anxiety and went anyway. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by how welcoming and friendly everyone was. They immediately put me at ease and made me feel like I belonged.
I'm glad I went to the summit. It was more fun than I expected, and I learned so much, especially about topics like SEO, social media, and the basics of libel law. Attending an event where I didn't know anyone, and meeting other bloggers was the highlight for me. It was great to network and connect with people who share the same passion as I do. It was also interesting to hear about different blogging niches and how people got started in the industry.
This was an incredible experience for me. It was a huge step out of my comfort zone, but it was worth it. I am proud of myself for facing my fear of meeting strangers and attending the event. I look forward to joining more events like this in the future and seeing what's in store for me in the blogging world.
