<p>Maybe you've heard words like "you are a failure", "you will amount to nothing". These are just English words, but to you, they might feel like a thousand arrows piercing a heart too fragile to take the hit.</p><p><br/></p><p>I haven't travelled the world, or lived for centuries. I am in short, a child, with very little experience of life. Maybe I shouldn't be writing this then, maybe I know nothing about what people go through - or maybe not.</p><p><br/></p><p>Everyone knows what verbal abuse is, but in our generation, too many people assume that only the older ones truly understand its weight. Sadly, the silence we're forced to keep, mixed with the trauma of harsh words, weighs on us young people like a building on a weak pillar.</p><p><br/></p><p>Being a nursing student means juggling academics with the emotional burden of caring for yourself, your colleagues, patients and families. Yet while trying to balance these, students still get abused - sometimes for the languages they speak, sometimes for the schools they come from. Worse, these comments often come from fellow students and even staff nurses.</p><p><br/></p><p>Outside the school setting, the internet and even people close to us, have successfully ignited and fueled a dangerous obsession with wealth, so much that many young people now begin to feel like failures if they've not made their first million by 20.</p><p><br/></p><p>Just like I mentioned earlier, I am a child, I may not know much, but I know this for sure, you are not a failure, all roads led to this point - a reminder that you've come a long way to get to where you are. </p><p><br/></p><p>You didn't just materialize as this version of you.</p><p> You grew.</p><p>You metamorphosed.</p><p>You transformed.</p><p>You journeyed.</p><p>Look at yourself, you've come a long way, and you should be proud of you.</p>
At the end of the month, we give out prizes in 3 categories: Best Content, Top Engagers and
Most Engaged Content.
Best Content
Top Engagers
Most Engaged Content
Best Content
We give out cash prizes to between 7 and 20 community members with the best insights in the past month.
The winners are picked by an in-house selection process.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know for the Best Content track
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
Top Engagers
For the Top Engagers Track, we award the top 3 people who engage the most with other user's content via
comments.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Engagers" tab on the rankings page.
Most Engaged Content
The Most Engaged Content recognizes users whose content received the most engagement during the month.
We pick the top 3.
The winners are picked using the "Top Monthly Contributors" tab on the rankings page.
Contributor Rankings
The Rankings/Leaderboard shows the Top 20 contributors and engagers on TwoCents a monthly and all-time basis
— as well as the most active colleges (users attending/that attended those colleges)
The all-time contributors ranking is based on the Contributor Score, which is a measure of all the engagement and exposure a contributor's content receives.
The monthly contributors ranking tracks performance of a user's insights for the current month. The monthly and all-time scores are calcuated DIFFERENTLY.
This page also shows the top engagers on an all-time & monthly basis.
Below is a list of badges on TwoCents and their designations.
