My Journey as a beginner in Open Source with Hacktoberfest!

So Hey there, I'm Krishna, a 13 year old Python Programmer and Web Developer (My GitHub). I recently started contributing to open source, when I found about hacktoberfest. This year was my first hacktoberfest, and it went really well!

Progress

This month, though I did not contribute to a large number of repos, I tried my best to contribute the best code/documentation I could create to the repos. I came across a quite tough bug, which really troubled me. It was a Python project. Finally, I could fix it after 2-3 days and the feeling was awesome! I also learnt a lot of new things this month, while trying to contribute to the repos!

Growth

Before Hacktoberfest 2023, I had never worked so deep into real world problems, so I believe Hacktoberfest made me a better programmer. I also learnt new concepts and topics which I didn't know earlier, while trying to contribute to these repositories!

So overall, my first hacktoberfest has been a really awesome, interesting and exciting event for me. Thanks for reading!
