## The Goal

When @mudcat36 came up with the idea of starting #newbieresteemday, his goal was to help "the newbies" to use our collective efforts to truly make a difference in their learning experiences and satisfaction levels.  Individually most of us are really small, but together we can make a difference.  Or so he dreamed!

What defines whether our collective initiative is working is what happens to the people we serve and to the members that serve them.  If we grow, if we help others to grow, and if we raise the bar and the knowledge levels, then we succeed.

## @randomwanderings Breaks Out By Finding Quality Among Us

We are so pleased to announce that one of our founding members @randomwanderings is now an @curie Curator.  See his latest post [I Am Now A Curie Curator Here on SteemIt!](https://steemit.com/curie/@randomwanderings/i-am-now-a-curie-curator-here-on-steemit).  He will now be responsible in his "additional" role to ***DISCOVER*** the best material out there.  And he gets paid to do so!!

## The Story Gets Better

The way he got @curie's attention was through the posts he submitted.  And guess what?  They were from 2 of the newbies that we served (and he found them through his "re-steeming" efforts).  How cool is that?  ("Re-Steemers" are cooler than you thought, huh?) ;)

He discovered two amazing posts by newbies @krishnendukj and @katrina-ariel that he "thought would be great to propose to Curie".   He proposed them and @curie loved them both!  @curie liked them so much they upvoted them for hundreds of $s and made them both instant success stories!

So now not only is @randomwanderings a professional Curator for @curie, he has also put 2 of our newbies on the map and into the eyes of the steemians that make a difference here.

## Proof Is There If You Take The Time To See It

With this one amazing achievement, @randomwanderings has done more than just propel 3 of us forward.  While of course that is great and we're elated for all three of them, what he has really done is become a role model for others to emulate.  How many newbies might want to follow in his footsteps?  How many resteemers will look even harder for the @krishnendukj's and the @katrina-ariel's of the future?  

How many newbies will want to come visit our tag #newbieresteemday and find a re-steemer to be discovered?

This is big news people.  It is significant.  If you take the time to read his [post](https://steemit.com/curie/@randomwanderings/i-am-now-a-curie-curator-here-on-steemit) and think about it, you will understand.

This is just the first of many amazing things that will happen to us as we ***ALL*** move forward.

Thank you for being a leader @randomwanderings.  We are proud of you and happy to be your teammate, and we are really excited about our future together!
