My first hackathon.

I am kind of demotivated as always especially where I have to communicate it scares me a lot I overthink too much like being anxious about if I say some improper things or if whatever I say will it hurt someone? It’s always like this thinking about others what they think of me it bothers me a lot. But it’s really troublesome as the major I’m studying in and in which my career will be build the issues I’m going through now won’t help me at all. I have to communicate a lot when I get a job even in college when I have to study I’m trying my best to overcome my anxiety and fear of talking and also people.

My first step for my career was joining a hackathon although I’m not much happy about this because even for this opportunity someone close to me forced me to do this as it is good and it will help me overcome my fear too. It’s not like I was the one who initiated it completely to get free from my fear.

In this entire hackathon my friend supported me a lot . I was feeling helpless if I’m helping my friend or not etc too much overthinking in my mind. But I’m happy I tried my best I couldn’t complete the project as it was my first time but I learnt a lot of things from this hackathon I started my journey as engineer in a pretty clumsy way but it’s fine I’m sure someday everything will be worth it for my career and future at the same time. I’m kind off anxious now even though my project is not completed I have submitted the project you see some people do have hopes even if something they know won’t happen similarly I have the same feeling too. Although I’m 100 percent sure I won’t win or get selected but it was fun the project idea was wonderful and I’m happy I could think off so wonderful things with my friend after getting the problem statement basically it was an application for the patients which will be managed by them and as well as doctors and hospital staff. It was surely a real world problem faced by many people even us . Many times we forget where is our report ?? Or when is our appointment? Which medicine was prescribed by dr or personally I forget even the dosage of medicines at time it was meant to be taken so I just go check prescription and I can’t understand a thing what dr has written , the schedule of medicines etc so many issues are faced by patients which led complexity for doctors too for further treatment so this app was basically resolving all this issues it’s a great idea to be honest it can solve many problems of people specially elderly people even if they can’t type text manually there is a system of voice messaging too. I was happy to think about this in my first hackathon !

It takes a lot of courage to step into something that genuinely scares you, and I think that’s the biggest takeaway from your story. Whether or not the hackathon went exactly as planned, you still challenged yourself, accepted support from a friend, and proved that growth often begins with showing up despite the fear.
