Hero, that’s how I defined Nathaniel Melloria and Mary Grace Melloria, my parents. According to Merriam Webster Dictionary the definition of hero is a person who is admired for great or brave acts or fine qualities , but for me I didn’t admire my parents by their brave acts , I admire them by their simple acts ,encouragement, motivation, and pure love. They are my inspiration in my everyday life , they may not be vocal on what they want for me but I know deep inside they want me to be successful in life.

My parents are my encourager, my stanchion and my mentor, they guide me and give me courage to stand up and fight for my dreams in life even in an easy or difficult situation. They influence me through their efforts ,sacrifices, and love.

I realized that life is a war where you can win or lose. You can win if you will fight with all your strength and courage and you will lose if you’ll choose to be defeated. In my life I choose to win because my parents is on my side who turned me into a fighter in the war of life through their influence.

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
