My Life, Designed by WordPress!
It has been a short time since I joined WordPress community and learnt a lot of things at the age of 12. It took me a day writing this essay as I wish I could write my whole mind in it. “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. – Arthur…
Community saved my life: Falling down, lifted up.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” ― Margaret Mead This essay took me a long time to end; mainly because, in many ways, I am still writing it. My first essay for HeroPress was two years ago (“W-W-Waiting…
HeroPress Geography: Western Europe
When HeroPress started I didn’t plan on having contributors from western Europe, any more than the U.S. As it turns out, we ended up with lots of people from both places.

Scholarship Update
The Up and Running Scholarship has been open for 10 days now, with 9 more to go! We’ve gotten many applications, from all of the world. I’ve been really pleased with the diversity of the applicants. They really are all over the map, both in location and gender. Several people have come to me privately…
HeroPress Geography: Eastern Europe
I don’t have nearly as many countries from Eastern Europe as I’d like. The ones I do have are along the western edge. Several of the countries represented have more than one essay from them. Also of note, the first HeroPress essay ever came from Ukraine, and is listed here. Finding Your Place The WordPress…
