finally

here

as of June 22, 2018.

'''This

Is

My

6000th

Edit.'''

Today I have continued the tradition of making every 1000th edit a blog post about reaching X000 edits.

6000, while it might not seem as "grand" as 5000 persay, 6000 does mean quite a bit to me.

On August 10, 2017, I celebrated my first wikiversary on HHW. I noticed I was just shy of 3000 edits, and that's when I decided to make a goal for myself. By the time my second wikiversary on HHW (August 10, 2018), I wanted to obtain 6000 edits.

365 days. Just over 3000 edits to make.

At first it seemed that I was unstoppable, I edited so frequently that a month and a half later, I had hit 4000 edits.

However things started to slow down. Schoolwork, acting for the school theatre department, and vacations got in the way of my edits. I didn't hit 5000 edits until February. Still on target, but I was slowing down, and I had received even larger responsibilities in my high school acting "career", and with Math II, I had a lot to study for.

Every once in awhile this idea of reaching 6000 edits by my second wikiversary came back to me, and I would begin to edit some more, but it normally lost steam. The reason I am writing this long speech is that when I started to write this speech I realized that I had accomplished that dream, not in 365 days, in just 316 days.

As of now, I feel proud of myself. Sure, it might just be me doing fun little projects, but it makes me proud because I rarely keep goals. I am normally the person to set one and forget about it two weeks later. This is honestly one of the first goals I have stuck with, especially one of my first ones for 316 days. Sure, I am still working on my goal to go to college, get a Doctorate or whatever in Meteorology, and then move to Miami to work at the NHC, but that's in the future. This is now.

If I can commit to a goal for 316 days, then I think I can commit to another one just as long, or maybe even slightly longer. In fact, today I have set a new goal for myself. By my third wikiversary (August 10, 2019), I want to have more than 10000 edits.

I know 10000 is a huge number. In fact as of today, only 6 users have reached 10000 in the history of HHW (Hypercane, CycloneRyne94, VileMaster, Sassmaster15, Hurricane Layten, and Bobnekaro). I have 414 days to make 4000 edits, which means I would need to make on average, 9.66 edits a day. However it is a goal. A dream. James M. Berrie once famously said "Dreams do come true, if we only wish hard enough, You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it."

Now obviously my schoolwork and real life priorities are always first. However this goal is to just help me be here more and contribute more to our ever growing wiki.

Lastly, as in every 1000 edit blog I have ever done, thank you all for keeping me here. Thank you all for being accepting, generous, and helpful. Even the biggest roles here need each other's help and that is what makes this wiki the best wiki. Thank you for being here. :)
