Growing up in a small village in Darbhanga, Bihar, I never could have imagined that I would one day be pursuing a career in technology. But as a young Indian student studying computer science at a local tier 3 college in rural India, that is exactly where I found myself in 2022.

My journey as a developer began with an event that completely changed the course of my life. While working as a salesperson at a local store, I came across a group of programmers who were visiting from a nearby city. They were conducting a workshop on programming languages, and I was immediately drawn to their work. Despite my lack of experience and knowledge in this field, I was determined to learn as much as I could about programming.

At the time, my family was struggling financially due to the death of my father from COVID-19 in 2021. I had a younger brother to support, and I knew that I needed to do everything in my power to provide for my family. I began working extra hours at the store and using my free time to learn about programming languages online.

It wasn't easy to find resources online, especially given my limited access to the internet and my lack of experience with programming. However, I was determined to learn, and I spent countless hours searching for online tutorials and forums that could help me. I was particularly inspired by the videos of Hitesh Choudhary, who was a huge influence on my learning journey. Watching their videos and reading their articles motivated me to keep going, even when things seemed impossible.

As I continued to learn and practice, I began to see progress in my skills and knowledge. I worked hard to improve my coding skills, and after about four months of dedicated study, I was able to land my first client. This was a huge milestone for me, and it gave me the confidence and motivation I needed to keep going.

Despite the many challenges I faced along the way, including my family's financial struggles and the difficulties of learning online, I never gave up on my dream of becoming a developer. I am now grateful to have a career that I am passionate about, and I am confident that my hard work and determination will continue to pay off in the future.

I also had the help of my friends and family, who encouraged me to pursue my dreams and never give up. My mother, in particular, was a constant source of support and encouragement, and I am forever grateful for her love and guidance.

As I look back on my journey as a developer, I am filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. I have come a long way from my humble beginnings in a small village in Bihar, and I am excited to see where my passion for technology will take me next. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow as a programmer, and I am determined to use my skills and knowledge to make a positive impact in the world.

In conclusion, my journey as a developer has been one of hard work, determination, and perseverance. Despite the many obstacles I have faced, I have never let my circumstances hold me back from pursuing my dreams. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn and grow as a programmer, and I am excited to see what the future holds for me and my family.
