15. My whole life was a rollercoaster, so many ups and downs.
16. Above all, I was jobless in 2019. Despite all the difficulties, I was really motivated to change things for the better. I read an article on Medium from an Uber's Engineer inviting devs to not only send their resumes but to show their skills by contributing to Open Source.
17. My 1st Pull Request
18. It was really fun to contribute to projects used by other devs. Seeing my name amongst other contributors motivated me to keep going then I continued to contribute again and again.
