Inspire Young Minds In The Least Expected Ways!
I have known a boy who suddenly had to relocate to a new country from where he was born and raised.
He lost his blissful life, good education, and childhood friends.
His struggles and hardships began when he faced a new environment, culture, language, and education system.
Everything seemed lost — comfort, friends, and the education he dreamt of.
He lost hope, motivation, and desire.
With several distractions to lure young minds, his parents feared his life might take a wrong turn and lead him down the wrong path.
Six months after their relocation, my book Serverless Development on AWS for O’Reilly was published in early 2024.
When I received copies from the publisher, I set one aside — to gift the boy.
A few weeks later, I packed it and handed it to someone to deliver.
My family was critical of me sending it as a gift. They felt that the topic was not something he would grasp, as he was just finishing high school.
They were right, but I had other reasons. I wasn’t expecting him to read my book anyway. However, I hoped he would keep the book somewhere he sees it — as a reminder.
