<p>I hail from a chamber beneath the rock, where I grew up alongside five other species. The fusion of two to make four. It was survival of the fittest right from the first room of darkness. The race of genes and one, two, then a double win, and we were four birthed species.</p><p><br/></p><p>Personally, mine has been a tough and rough race through the jungle of education. I mean tough and rough because I was desperately trying to reach the first breach of the ladder. I had stayed too long on the second breach, and I really wanted to cross over, but it never remained stable or sturdy enough for me to find my balance.</p><p><br/></p><p>I left the grazing ground and moved into the woods, falling to the twentieth bridge. Slowly, I grew until I reached the seventh bridge.</p><p><br/></p><p>The first year in the woods came with two treats for doing so well in calculating and communicating. You know them. But slowly, I began to lose my grip. There was more to survival than learning.</p><p><br/></p><p>I finally advanced into the forest, and it was a whole battle. The glory of the woods was just too local. The strength I had gathered there was nowhere near enough to carry the weight of the forest. I tanked.</p><p><br/></p><p>But here's one fun fact: the grass field, the woods, and the forest were all beneath the rock.</p><p><br/></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.
