Day 33 🚀
Still keeping the grind alive with consistency!
Solved 1 LeetCode problem
Completed an exercise on GeeksforGeeks
Today I only managed about 3 hours of focused studying—less than I planned. But it’s all part of the process, and I’ll work on fixing that moving forward!

Today, the Placement for Pre-Engineering (AAU) was released, and honestly… everyone was shocked by the results. 😢

What I realizing is this: It doesn’t matter where you are—what really matters is grinding in your niche. No one cares about excuses.

Writing this as a Civil Engineering student (after missing 4 of my previous choices 🤦‍♂️), I can say I’m disappointed with the whole placement system—staffs, females, self-sponsored… the way it works feels unfair.

But at the end of the day: GRIND only 💪.
Because in the end, your work is what speaks.
🗓 September Monthly Report 🌙

Now, looking back at September (Month 2 since I officially joined tech)… it was a messy and confusing month 😅. I even doubted myself at times. Still, there were some small wins along with the failures.

Achievements 🎉
Started DSA officially with Python
Joined an amazing online DSA community
Met many tech people, even in person—super valuable
Managed to track my real progress across platforms (including this channel )

Failures 😢
Not consistent: only 13/30 days (43%)
Paused my web dev journey for the whole month
Got placed into Civil Engineering (thanks, AAU 🤦‍♂️)

But believe it or not—magic will happen in the future. 💪 Who knows? No one 😎 ONLY GOD

What to Expect After October 🚀
Be consistent at least 25 days
Continue my Web Dev journey (from where I paused: CSS)
Start real self-improvement (my own way, not like the social media “gurus”)
Stay off social media for the month OTHER THAN POSTING  and use that time to read books 📚

By the way, I’d love it if you could share this channel 🙏. If you’re on the same path, or if you also have a personal channel, let’s grow together. 🚀

Day 34🚀
Today, as I intended, I did everything I wanted:

👉Started my web development journey 🚀
👉Began reading books (I’ll share them once I finish 📚)
👉Practiced LeetCode questions while also trying to grasp the bigger picture of Big O complexity 🔍

It feels like I’m slowly putting the pieces together for the bigger grind ahead.

Day 35 🚀
Today I solved my first medium problem on LeetCode—and I’m super excited about it! 🎉

I feel like until now I was just circling around DSA, but from this point onward, I’m finally getting to the core of it. 🔥

Day 36 and 37 🚀
Today I took a break from the LeetCode grind to attend the AfroChain Hackathon, held at the Science Museum on October 4–5.

The experience was far beyond what I expected — I met some truly amazing people with inspiring ideas and innovations. It was my first-ever hackathon, and I’m so grateful to have had this opportunity.

Special thanks to the AfroChain Hackathon organizers for making it all possible! 🙌
Day 37 🌙

Back from the hackathon and back to the grind! 💻 I’ve been hitting LeetCode again, and luckily, classes haven’t started yet — a golden opportunity for hustlers like me to push harder.

My October plan was to stay consistent for 25+ day, but honestly, I slipped in the first 4 days 😅. Still, I managed to pull through and hit my max streak of 26 days this month! Not perfect, but definitely progress. 🚀

Which is harder for you: debugging or thinking of the approach?
For me, thinking of the approach takes 80% of the time 😅
Day 38 🚀
Some days are about results.
Others are just about showing up and keeping the streak alive.
Either way — still on the DSA grind ⚡️
3 AM , laptop open, Python running, and me realizing I just missed a semicolon 😭
Me: I’ll just solve one easy problem today
Asymptotic Analysis: Bruh, think about input size… not your laziness 😅
Day 39 [ REFUSE TO QUIT ]🚀

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say I’m feeling better than anyone else in the world right now! 😎 Today was intense—full of learning, exploring, showing up, and practicing.

Believe it or not… I solved 9 LeetCode problems in just a few hours, and that feels amazing.  Fully vibing with the Abrehot Library night grind, focusing for up to 8 hours straight —pure bliss.

I know I’m not the typical nerdy CS/SE student—just a “dumb” civil engineering guy, but mark my words… that won’t stop me with God’s help, I’ll create something insane in the future.

Have a great weekend, guys!

Have A blessed Sunday guys 😊
Day 40 🚀

Another day, same hustle. Dug into GeeksforGeeks, exploring different topics, breaking down concepts. Hit LeetCode too—submitted questions, tested myself, learned from mistakes. Slow and steady, one problem at a time.
The grind feels long, but every bit of effort is stacking.
Day 41 — Two Pointer Basics 🚀
Today I learned the core idea behind the Two Pointer technique — how using two moving pointers can make some problems way faster (O(n) instead of O(n²)).

Just focused on understanding how the pointers move (left–right, slow–fast) and when to use each pattern.
Can’t wait to start solving real problems with it soon

Day 42 — Still Showing Up 💭

Today felt like walking through fog.
My head was heavy, my body weak — being sick made even two lines of code feel impossible. But somehow, I pushed through and solved two LeetCode problems.

Then I heard that A2SV’s in-person program at AAiT might be paused… and that one hit deep.

For a moment, I questioned everything — the grind, the path, the dream.
I used to believe there was only one way and i was also preparing on this way .
DSA → CP → A2SV → Silicon Valley.

Guys TBH I was not good at problem solving but joined the world of CP just by the hope of A2SV.


But life keeps reminding me and I realized — there are many ways to grow, many ways to win. not just like Someone else"

What matters most is persistence.
It’s showing up, even when everything in you says “not today.”

Still showing up. Still learning. Still believing.

Day 43 [New Content Idea for the Future] 🚀

Today was awesome!

I Solved the 3 Sum problem
Dived deep into 2-pointer techniques

Explored the world of content creation
Here’s my new plan: I’m going to launch Digital Grind Weekly Reports—not just text, but well-organized, amazing summaries to track my progress and share insights with you all. I’ll announce it here on the channel when it’s ready.

Until then… let’s keep grinding! 💪🔥
