Introducing Myself

Hi! I go by theonlygirl because I have five younger brothers and no sisters. I am an eleven-year-old, homeschooled 8th grader. I have spent most of my life in the Ozark Mountains on a farm.
So here are some of the things I do:
I enjoy playing on the piano, guitar, and mandolin. Here is a video of me playing them:

I also love writing. I am writing a story, but as it is a children's story, I will probably not post it. For a while, it was handwritten on paper totaling 180 pages, but I have now started to type it on a computer.
I help my mom babysit, cook, clean, and wash dishes. I also help around the farm with the gardens, whether it is babysitting my younger brother, or watering the garden.
Here is a picture of me planting:

Here is a picture of me cooking:

I also enjoy sewing, knitting, and crocheting. I have made scarfs, hats, and mittens, but have never made up my own patterns.
That's it for now. I am looking forward to writing on Steemit.

Welcome in this community!

Hello @theonlygirl welcome to the steemit world and hope you will enjoy it. Sometimes its crazy and sometimes happy:)

Hi ... Nice to see you... best of luck

Welcome to Steemit - keep safe!

Huge greetings and welcome to Steemit!
So cool that you can join us here! Did you follow one of your parents over? I hope you have an adult that is watching out for you. Steemit, just like the internet, has some great things and also some things you would probably want to avoid.

I have a few tips for you......:

  • find a community. Maybe join the @minnowsupport project.

  • comment and follow other's articles for your first 1-2 months here more than you do your own posts. This will actually help you to gain Followers. And improve and refine your Posting style(by seeing other's good examples and bad examples).

  • don't plan to get rich. If you come for money, it will probably be a struggle.

  • it will still be a struggle when you are new.... for 2 or 3 months. As you meet more steemians and ask questions and figure things out, it will get easier.

  • only Post original work. Many new Steemians get into trouble when they copy and paste things from Google or from the internet, AND IT IS NOT their photo, writing or work. IF you can't post your own things, better not post. Otherwise @cheetah will get suspicious!

  • comment and make friends, but don't ask "Follow me" or "please Upvote me" Maybe after you have become friends... maybe. But never as your first, second or third comment to them. Never!

  • have fun!

I am a community volunteer. I try to stop SPAM and trash and things that hurt Steemit. IF you see anything like that, please feel free to let me know, I will look into it!

two other homeschooled children that I know of are: @thehomeschoolkid and @homescoolkidz oh and @abookworm (used to be homeschooled!?)
And @geke is currently working on some homeschool materials that she has published.

Yes this is my Mom @mountainmamma. Thank you for all the tips.

welcome to steemit! you are an amazing person and I hope to see more of your work here soon!

hey, welcome to steemit!
