Happy Valentine's Day in arrears hivers♥. My name is Testimony, @ruchial on hive, and here is my formal application for the newbies application. I appreciate @newbies-hive for this incredible initiative, I also thank @queenstarr for bringing this to my notice and urging me to apply.

I joined the hive community about 4 months ago and I must say it has been a productive ride, connecting with amazing people. Here is my introductory post to read a lil about myself.

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

I find this initiative a really bright idea, a way to assist the newbies both old and new members. This blockchain is a different world entirely from our regular social media platforms and has it own patterns and operations, it takes a 'better understanding' to operate effectively. I know this initiate was created to give us (newbies) that understanding as stated by the initiative.

This is a program to train new users/accounts so they can have a better understanding of the capabilities of the Hive Blockchain as well as those who have not been able to develop well enough so far.

PURPOSE OF JOINING THE INITIATIVE
My utmost reason for joining this initiative is to get a greater understanding about the blockchain and all that it has to offer, in a way that would benefit me and the blockchain. I would also love to connect with like minds, so we can learn and grow together.

Apart from playing the hive blockchain games like Risingstar, Dcrops etc, I enjoy:
