About Me
When I was born, I was labeled Failure to Thrive. I struggled to gain weight, and my oxygen levels were constantly low. I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at 3 days old. Ever since then, my life has revolved around treatments, medications, avoiding infection, and maintaining my weight. I got a feeding tube at age 5 to help me get the calories I couldn't get orally. As I got older, we noticed I was in a lot of pain. My joints often popped out of place, and I took forever to heal when I got cut. At 7, I gained another diagnosis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. To make a long story concise, I've always been homeschooled due to frequent infections and health crises.
I joined wikiHow on November 18, 2018. I don't remember the exact reason I joined, but I think I was looking for a community where I could help reach a common goal. Turns out wikiHow was a perfect fit for me ;). I've loved this community ever since I joined, and longed to do more to improve the experience for everyone. On December 23, 2018, I became a Welcomer! I really enjoy sending kind messages to new users, and I think they really appreciate it as well. I became a New Article Booster on February 7th, 2019. I really enjoy boosting new articles and helping authors improve their articles to promotion standards!

Why do they contribute to wikiHow?
"I've been fascinated by the collaborative power of wikis since 2007. There's something amazing about working with people from all over the world, people with different backgrounds and life experiences. On wikiHow, we come together to achieve one common goal: to educate. Throughout my time on here, I've gained trust, respect, and even genuine real-world friendships. I never would have thought that making an account on a website and being a part of an online community would be such a rewarding experience that's impacted my life on so many levels. So after 11 years as a wikiHowian, you think I'm going to stop here? Not a chance."
Their advice to new editors:
"Stick with it. We all know it can be hard to know what to do when you're first starting out. If you think wikiHow is like Wikipedia... it's not. Over there, you might get overwhelmed by complicated guidelines and butt heads with other people because your edit went against their policies. But over here, we have one of the friendliest communities anywhere on the internet, and we try our best to create a supportive, open environment where it's easy to get involved. So don't be afraid to make an edit and ask for help when you need to. As long as you're open to learning how things work around here, I can guarantee you'll have the same positive and impactful experience I've had."
