My Dufuna Story:" Never give up without a fight" —

Just on a normal day the broadcast of the dufuna 2018 scholarship came in, and it came in at the period that I made the decision of pursuing software engineering, so I applied (never thought i would qualify though). Then after sometime an email came that I qualified(was very happy), then it came with a test, and at that moment i lost all hope and said to myself "what do I know" and "how will I pass the test ( considering the fact that i was just starting to learn and also saw the email a day to the deadline of submission). I lost all hope of going further, and something just sparked up within me and said "Atleast give it a try". I took paper and pencil( since i didn’t have a functional sytem as at then) so i tried to get the solution down in the paper and to my surprise it was a success(though needed some debugging). And the joy within me couldn’t be measured.
And so far as the programme started it has been educating and challenging, it gives me the feeling of wanting to do more. Though these first three months I have been lagging behind and i don’t meet the deadline. But I have taken it as a task to become better and give it my all.
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to learn and improve on myself.
I don’t have much relationship with the mentors yet but the little I have seen of them is inspiring.
I am looking forward to the next phase of the project, also looking forward to learn more.
