How I started my coding journey.

A thread 👇

➡️I started my journey last year. It was my second semester back then where C was introduced as our first programming language . To be honest I didn't knew how to code back then. It was kinda embarrassing too accepting the fact.

➡️In the mid of our semester we had our first terminal exams in which I didn't performed that well and felt really bad about my performance. Told my mom about the result and was embarrassed. My mother consoled me and gave a piece of advice which changed my approach towards life.

➡️That day I decided from now I won't lag instead I'll excel in my studies. I searched for tutorials on YouTube and started my journey. When my fellows used to bunk classes and enjoy their time out I was found sitting in library learning C.

➡️In my finals I performed exceptionally well and was confident about my papers. The day results were out I called my mom and happily cried narrating her about my performance. She was proud of me ❤️

➡️I then learnt Data Structure and Algorithms in C as a part of my syllabus but that doesn't invoke the interest in me. I used to take it as a burden. Thought to change my path and explored a little bit on Google. There were many articles suggesting numerous path to opt. for.

Making interactive websites used to interest me a lot. Chose Web development as a career path and started my journey.
Learnt ➡️ Html, CSS and a framework which in my case was Bootstrap. Applied for an internship in a startup and worked for 6 months there.

I'm now currently learning JavaScript in depth.
➡️My purpose to share this was to convey that If I can do it, you can tooo 🙌
Don't loose hope just keep pushing yourself to be consistent in whatever you're planning to do.
