Always follow your dreams!

Hello everyone, I'm writing this post for you to always follow your dreams and never give up.

Everything started since I was just a child, exactly in 2007 when my parent bought our first computer. I started using it just for games, you know, Need For Speed, some FIFA and Grand Theft Auto.

In 2013-2014 I bought my own computer by my own money, ok, with my parents help for some money. Then I learned how to install windows, drivers and how a computer work but at a basic level.

Time passed so I've drown myself in documentations about computer. The time for me to go to highschool came so I had to choose a profile.(In my country, we have to choose our profile and we have to do some tests for choosing a highschool, I don't know what protocol is in others countries). Well, I didn't went to a highschool where I should study computer science, I went in a highschool where Math was not an important subject, I did it just for 2 years and last 2 years was out from my curriculum.

In december 2020, I started learning programming by my own because untill then I didn't knew I can find resources on the internet, I tought you learn about computer science just in HighSchool and in University. I started with HTML, CSS and I advanced to programming languages like C++, Swift and Python(including JS also 😅).

All my highschool knew that I want to apply as a student at a University in the Computer Science field and guess what, nobody believed in me. Everybody said: "What would you do there?". Just my mom and I believed in myself. Everybody else just laughed about me.

Again, time passed and look at me now, enrolled in a University in the Computer Science field with a Software Developer job since December 2022 and now, everybody is shocked because I did it.

What I want you to know from this long-short story is that, if you believe in yourself, nobody else and nothing else matter. You just have to do not give up, you have just to work, work and believe because in the final, the result will appear at the right time. Trust the process. The good things needs time.

I say "...at the right time" because, now I should been in 2nd year of Universty but, I failed an exam last year so I didn't went to because of that exam. Now everything is fine!

Don't forget! Believe in yourself and continue to work! In the final, results will appear!
