Hello! This is my 100th article! I am so proud of me!

My journey on Medium is not easy. My first article was published on January 29, 2023. My first article was called “Life is Bitter, fate is Destined”. I am not a native English speaker, and I made many grammar mistakes in this article. Day by day, I feel more confident to write, even though I still make mistakes. Finally, I got 100 followers in March and fulfilled the requirement to join the Medium Partner Program (since August, the condition has changed).

However, I got rejected three times because of my location. Finally, in August, they changed the condition, and I can join the Medium Partner Program!

In the beginning, I didn’t get a good result on earnings. But luckily, day by day, I have many followers and have met many genuine writers on Facebook groups. And my earnings have improved so much!

Thank you to all the writers who support me! You are very important to me! Without you all, I didn’t have the motivation to keep going with my writing!

Thank you for reading!
