I was the first person in my family to become a software engineer. It felt quite unusual, as no one before me had ever gone out of town for studying.
Being an Indian, it was quite challenging. My millennial parents placed immense value on relatives, often considering them more important than anything else.
Being the eldest daughter, I was a bit of a badass.
I knew how to persuade my father effectively—well, sort of. Eventually, I enrolled in college. Like many others, I began to take coding seriously in my second year, especially after meeting people who were highly proficient in it.Now talking about meeting people was quite depressing than a motivation.I am gonna blame this on someone , let it be my parents.See, never in my academics ever I faced failures, I was that girl who brought straight A's , so anything less than that was never an option in an Indian household.
However, once I stepped into the real world, where competition is fierce, whether intentional or not, I was confronted with numerous failures.
But as I mentioned I am a bit of a BADASS !! I won't give up that easily.Initially, I dedicated an hour each day to coding. Gradually, this increased to ten hours daily. Most of this time was spent debugging and reading technical blogs, which felt more like preparation, with only about 2-4 hours of actual coding.
Thats when I learned the most important lesson of my life "The more you work on something, the more familiar it becomes.
NOTHING IS SO HARD THAN GIVING UP ON YOUR DREAMS !!!!
