My Journey

If you looked at my laptop’s file history, you’d see a tragedy in three parts.

Hello World

For the longest time, I was stuck in the “Tutorial Hell” loop. I would start learning with high motivation, watch three hours of videos, and feel like a hacker. Then, reality would hit. Midterms would arrive, university assignments would pile up, or I’d just get tired. I’d take a two‑week break.

My journey isn’t over. In fact, the hard part is just starting. But the folder on my desktop isn’t called “Final Attempt” anymore. It’s just called “My Projects.”

And that’s enough for me.
