Greetings to everyone here participating in the Steemit Engagement Challenge.I am glad the challenge has kept the ground running and we are in the third week of it already.Permit me to make my entry in Steem Venezuela community.



The Diary game is one way we keep a diary/record of our daily activities.This include records of what we did,what we ate,the places we went and other activities carried within the day.Ofcourse picture evidence is needed to prove the veracity our diary game post and to make the writing to look more beautiful.

## <center>My Experience with the Diary Game</center>

I joined Steemit the towards  the end of July 2020.I made my Achievement 1 and 2 post within the first few days.I was then told about the **Diary Game** by @focusnow he told me  that it is a detailed post about my activities for the day.I decided to join too even though I was still  a novice.I read diary post made by @beckie96830 @whitestallion @focusnow and other persons that has been on Steemit before me.Then I was able to get a clue on what to write.

Then I started writing it in the early days of August 2020.I wrote for each day because that was the rule.One of the first few posts was voted around **$72**  and it gave me enough motivation even though I didn't know the value of the vote in my local currency back then.👇

Atleast I was happy until the value was explained to me and so I got more happier😃.

At a point @focusnow divided us into groups of five members so that five of us can read and comment on each other's posts for proper engagement.This means that once I make a post,I will alert my team members,they will make four comments and I will make four replies making it a total of atleast 8 engagements per post.This strategy worked so well back then.As much as  I can remember my team members then were-@whitestallion(team leader) @samuel20 @marydexplorer @iamdanny and @dlioness We had a fantastic team then and things went as smooth as planned.

## <center>Advantages of the Diary Game</center>
There are lots of advantages that I have seen ams experienced through the diary game.Let me at this point highlight some of them.

* **Detailed Writing**

Ordinarily I am science inclined and i was used to calculations and formula and not essay writing or detailed writing.At first,I was doubting if I can write the diary game post because writing at length wasn't my thing.

Interesting I started writing it and I found out that I could write as much as 500 words.This means that I have such ability but never knew until **an external force** called **the diary game** acted on me.So friends,the diary game has helped to write in details since I joined it.Thats a good testimony.


* **Record Keeping**

The diary game is one of the best ways to keep record of our daily activities.Sometimes we cant recall our activities after a long period of time.However,with the advent of the diary game,you can easily scroll through your recent posts to read about your past activities.For example I was able to recall my activities on a particular day in December,2020 courtesy of the diary game.

The saying that the shortest pen is mightier than the longest  memory can perfectly be explained and understood from thediarygame.It keeps a memory that ordinarily we can't keep within our brains.

* **Learning from Others**

Learning they say,**never ends**.We don't only learn in the classroom or in the laboratory.One can still learn through reading.As an individual I have learnt quite a lot through reading other peoples diary game post.Some of the things I have learnt are some fitness habit, eating habit,time management habit, health habit and social habits by reading the daily activities of steemians  like @ngoenyi @patjewell @chiabertrand @analuseidy scattered all over the world.

* **Earning and Rewards**

There is no doubt that i have earned countless times through writing my diary game post.This is indeed a great advantage because you just wrote about your activities and then got rewarded for just doing that.Truth of the matter is that rewards has a way of motivation people to write more and even more.

It is also important to note that there are times when I dont get votes from my diary game post.I did not relent because of such,I kept on writing and engaging with others.So friends do not focus just on votes,keep your eye on producing quality contents in your diary game.

## <center>Disadvantages of the Diary Game</center>

Basically I wont say that there are demerits of participating in the diary game.It serves the author the purpose of keeping records of their activities for future use.**However**,the diary may expose people's privacy to the public.Although as adults,we should know **what to and what not to** bring to the public space.

I have invited some persons to join the diary game over the past couple of months.They really enjoyed the project,got the experience and shared beautiful contents too.Some of the people I convinced to join the diary game are @frank10 @chukwu10 and many others that I cant recall at this moment.

## <center>Summary</center>

I have learnt and garnered a lot of experience all through the seasons and period of the diary game.I have had the sweet,bitter,funny and memories shared during the years of diary game.I am wishing the **diary game** a happy two year anniversary come the 22nd of May,2022.

I am inviting @pelon53 @nneoma08 @tenguhatanga to participate in this contest.
