What the Points Here at WA Mean to Me.
I've noticed some people write about the points and ranking system here at WA and I decided to give my opinion.
I love them!
Now let me start off by saying that I was never a 'popular' kid in school.
We moved several times so I went to a variety of schools.
Big schools and small schools.
Schools in the city and in small towns too.
I was never athletic and was usually one of the last picked for teams when classmates chose who they wanted for their teams.
Back when they had those athletic tests here in Canada and then gave badges according to your performance, I never got Gold or Silver or even Bronze but instead got to take home a the Participation badge which was the lowest level of badge.
In academic courses I was a solid C student so there definitely wasn't any time on any Honor Roll!
Anyway, the long and short of it is that I am an expert at being fairly good at most things :)
Fast forward to now....
I've been with WA for just under a month now and at first I had no clue about the points.
Then I realized that when I commented on other people's blogs or Kyle's training that my points changed a little.
Then I took a deep breathe and wrote my first blog a couple of weeks ago and my points took a bigger dip.
I was hooked!
Now I write as much as possible and am quick to comment when people leave comments for me and in 28 days, I have gone from 150,000ish in rank to 316!
What is far more important, however, is the connections that I've made with other WA members.
It's awesome and by making friends here I have more people to turn to when I need help with things here.
I love the point system here and hope to one day be an Ambassador here at WA.
It will be like being on the Honor Roll finally.
Which is great even if it took me 43 years to get there.
Thanks for reading my blog today and if you're new here at WA, welcome to a wonderful community!

You are right, Raven. This is a great system of 'paying it forward'! And, as you say, when you need help yourself you will have the whole WA family standing by to lend a hand.
This was such an awesome blog Raven!
I really enjoyed reading this and thanks so much for sharing this with everyone. This is 1 big happy family and I'm glad that you are enjoying yourself here at WA. I know that you are going to make it big here at WA and even be more of a success with your website.
Your rank has just went down even more to 297 and I know you will make ambassador and be a big help to everyone here. Keep up the awesome work you are doing here and I am looking forward to reading more of your blog posts.

I would also like to be an Ambassador for WA AS I enjoy helping and encouraging newbies and followers...
Keep up the good work and you will make it. I thank you will find most of here are average and are struggling to be successful with the help of WA members that have the talent to push us to stay focused and succeed. I know I will succeed given time just have to keep taking one step at a time. What a great place to land for all of us.
Thank you for this valuable comment. It has touched my feelings. For me feelings are the great destinations. I am proud of you.
Lovely blog post. I am sure this will inspire many others to rethink a bit about how they too can get so much for giving so little. Well done on all your progress. As my other friends have said too - here we are friends .
Be blessed and have a magic weekend!
Couldn't help but see KingdomWith's reply. She's absolutely right. I love connecting with everyone. I think it's a fantastic community but sometimes all the posts distract me from working in my site and that's not good either. BTW, you're on the "cool" team NOW and on your way to a gold badge!
The Lord thinks we are all 10's! We all have special gifts & abilities, & they differ widely just like we each do. What makes the difference is unity & helpfulness. Also, if you have a charismatic personality, well, you really get to hit the jackpot!
P.S. I was the geek kid that nobody but the other geeks knew.
I hope you make the "WA honor roll" but most of all I wish you to create the great site you came here to create and make much money maintaining it and getting sales and traffic.
