HELLO STEEMIT WORLD! - INTRODUCING @creditcat

Hello Steemit!
I’ve always wanted to start a blog of some sort but have never had the confidence to start until now, when I heard about this exciting new community from my friend and mother, @cathi-xx. After months of hearing her talk about the joys of being a part of this community and the new friends she has made, I have finally decided to join myself! In fact one of her new friends, @gonzo, is now living with us, so Steemit has already changed my life.
More about me!
I’m a 17 year old from England, in full time education. Although I enjoy school, I dream of being free from the classroom soon and out exploring the world, expanding my knowledge from the people I meet and not from a PowerPoint presentation!
Music:
I love music! I am a grade 8 classical guitarist, pianist, singer/song writer and composer.

Here is a 1 minute piece of film music I composed for homework last year.
Can you guess the genre? 5 steem for the first correct answer in the comments.

Photography:
I also love photography, and being outside. I've been taking photos since I was 18 months old when my mum first stuck a disposable camera in my hand. Here are some of my original photos:



 This is a selfie I took a few years ago on my camera using a timer.
Videos:
I also love making short films/videos. Here is a Steemit exclusive (my youtube account is private) of a comedy video that I made when I was 11 years old :

I also love to explore! Here are some photos of my latest adventures:

Coming soon... Original songs, photography, and much more!
Upon seeing my first post, one of my friends @Elizaa has decided to make an account!!!

Welcome to the community. It's a great place to put it all out there and get over your fears. It still can be scary but it's worth it. I've been here for about a month and sharing very deep and personal things to hopefully insight change and understanding. Thank you for being here.
Welcome to Steem @creditcat!
The genre of the film that the music would play along to.
Thank you!
Thanks I appreciate it!
Thank you so much :) I wish I actually did do 'it all'
Thank you, I am glad to hear that your month on Steemit had been this way and I hope mine is too!
Thanks! :)
It will be. stay strong even on days you fight yourself about posting or sharing something. Some times those days will surprise you in a good way.
Aha thank you! It will be extremely hard for me to convince them to take a photo but I will try my best :D
Its on the blockchain now.. I eagerly await your results.
You write suspiciously well for a 17 year old. Then again, you're not American.
Well, based on what I'd heard, either a historical drama, either set in the 40's or 60's, or a psychological thriller. If I had to pick one, I'd go with psychological thriller.
Great post and followed.
the photo of the moon behind the white flowers at night is spectacular.
very nice pictures, welcome.
@creditcat :) Welcome to the platform :)
Welcome to steemit @creditcat! I hope you enjoy this wonderful community :)

Hi @creditcat. Welcome to Steemit. I noticed you're into music. Perhaps you would like to join us by playing a song for Steemit Open Mic. People can hear you play and you may earn some Steem.

Wow, that's great. I have a 4,5-year-old daughter, I hope to see her that confident like you are in 17=) If you start that early, who do you wish to become when you're 27?=) Sorry for slapply English, not my native language...
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks!
Thank you :D
Thanks a lot! :)
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thanks!
Thank you!
I'm flattered that you think my writing is above my age. I read a lot of classics so maybe that is why :)
Thank you, I will follow you :)
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words!
I'm the copy cat/imposter!
I didn't have a FB account so my lovely daughter set up my Steemit account last August but accidentally used her name! She's the real cathi-xx - I'm a boring Sarah ;)
Thank you! :)
How did you know we were humans? ;)
Thank you! I'll make sure to tune in :)
You are welcome! :)
I brought her up by being strict but always respectful to her.
She went through a challenging phase when she was 9-11 with the shouting and stomping and swearing and, "I hate you mum!" but I always stayed calm and told her that I would listen to her requests if she asked properly and that being a mum isn't a popularity contest and I still loved her no matter what mean things she said to me! Sometimes I changed my mind and let her have her way and sometimes I didn't but I always gave her good reasons.
By the time she was 12 she was a great kid who I could trust to make good life choices!
Some of her friends saw her post today at school and one of them started opening a Steemit account right away. This girl has taught herself prosthetics and what she does is awesome and (kinda scary), her intro is one to watch out for ;)
Hahaha....I'm pretty sure no one is boring in that household!
Congratulations @creditcat!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following category:
Welcome aboard the steem-ship from a fellow english person :) btw, I find the 40mph limit picture strangely alluring,....... maybe it's a desire to drive past at 41mph????
