# Welcome to The Fresh Five!
Hi, I'm [Adam](https://steemit.com/@aussieninja) and I'll be introducing new and exciting Steemians to the community. [The Fresh Five](https://steemit.com/@thefreshfive) account was set up by [Mike](https://steemit.com/@mikepm74), who'll be working towards creating and administering Fresh Five competitions and contests to help kick start our brand new friends and get them involved in the community. So, now that you know what it's all about, let's get on with it!

Here's our Fresh Five for the 19th of April

She's 23 years old and has learned graphic design so she's super excited about writing content tech and cryptocurrencies... and how to ensure gas companies don't stop. Seems fun! Welcome to Steem Abril!

Carla introduces us to her sisters, her friends, her classmates and her crossing a scary river on a slippery beam in sandles! Carla is super hardcore! She has a really fun and colourful intro post, with lots of great photos. Not super sure where she's from, but it looks amazing! Welcome to Steem Carla!

https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://img.esteem.ws/gn76p38xeu.jpg Our Fresh Five middle child is [Maryjane](https://steemit.com/@cherlyclass) who [is studying and a fashion consultant and an usher](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@cherlyclass/hello-steemit-am-cherlyclass-and-new-here-85ad3f2536ccf). She's doing all the things! Her photos are pretty fun and looks like she's pretty excited about publishing some articles on Steem. Welcome to Steem Maryjane!

https://steemitimages.com/DQmYDdUD68Nt3APVFccFDMmbqFwZEPoAPrMuVUQBNPVk8MM/A.jpg We'd love to introduce [Ankit](https://steemit.com/@ankitsherigar) who [just quit a job after not being paid for months](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@ankitsherigar/introducing-myself-why-didn-t-i-find-steemit-before). Ahhhh, that sucks Ankit! Luckily you seem to be a pretty good-natured dude and clearly you're good at rolling with the punches. Ankit loves his family and his crazy loud city of his home Mumbai. He loves food and shares a delicious looking Chicken and rice dish. His intro post was really well written, I think he's going to love Steem! Welcome to Steem Ankit!

https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://s9.postimg.cc/4eo4tvsin/IMG-1619.jpg Lastly we have [Lester](https://steemit.com/@leviatan7) who [is a veteran now studying business](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@leviatan7/hi-steemit-great-to-be-here). He's making the transition into civilian life and has thrown himself into weight lifting and philosophical lectures. Sounds pretty well rounded! Really excited to have him aboard, go check him out. Welcome to Steem Lester!

Please welcome our new friends and offer any support you can. The Steem Blockchain can be an intimidating place, but with good buds it's also super wonderful and amazingly educational.
