The Untold Journey of Tech

Everyone today is searching for something new — a new job, a new place, a new life.
The tech industry, however, often favors only two kinds of people:

First, the talented — the learners, the persistent, the ones who keep sharpening their skills.
Second, the lucky — because sometimes landing a job has less to do with merit and more to do with timing, chance, and circumstances beyond control.

This is the journey of someone who wasn’t lucky.

Was I talented? Yes.
Was I a learner? Absolutely.
Was I smart? I believe so.

I learned a lot along the way — sometimes painfully. Often, it felt like life granted wishes to others more easily. Did I get what I wished for? Some of it, yes. And I still wish for more — working every day to reach it. Soon. Very soon.

The journey began seven years ago.

I was a school dropout — a kid who didn’t yet understand the harsh realities of life or the greed of people, but was forced to see it far too early. Teachers, who should have been the face of guidance and care, became sources of humiliation. I was shamed publicly, repeatedly, and deliberately. That experience broke something — but it also planted a seed.

I dropped out and joined a diploma program.

Something changed inside me. My personality shifted. I became someone I had always wanted to be. For a while, everything felt right. Then came another shock — and once again, life turned upside down. Still, I survived. Through harsh treatment, through setbacks, through doubt — I pushed forward and turned things around.

But life wasn’t finished testing me.

It kept moving downhill and uphill, again and again. The details could fill pages, but somewhere along the way, I lost my sense of purpose. The dream faded. I slipped into routine — moving forward, but without direction.

Today, with 1 year and 6 months of professional experience, I stand here still learning, still working, still building. Every day, I move closer to the future I once imagined — and still do.

This is not a story of luck.
This is a story of persistence.
And it’s still being written.
