SURF THE WAVES WEEK 1 TOPIC: OVEROMMING FEAR

We’re excited to launch the first Waves prompt designed especially for students and Alumni on Hive. This is your chance to share your experience and connect with others who started their journey just like you.

Waves are a fun and easy way to participate in short form prompts that spark meaningful conversations across the Hive Student connect community through ecency frontend. If you don't know what waves are, check out this post here

Topic: “A Fear I Overcame”

We all have fears big or small that once held us back. It could be speaking in front of a crowd, trying something new, or even facing a tough situation. Overcoming those fears often shapes who we become.

Waves Prompt:
Tell us about a fear you faced and how you conquered it. Share your story in just 20–50 words and inspire others who might be going through the same challenge.

You could write a few words then use a GIF to show your expression.
