This channel has slowly started feeling like a job board, and thatโs on me ๐
So hereโs something personal. I just wrapped up a big assignment that took more out of me than I expected.
I also have to say I had the most amazing reviewer. Throughout the whole process, they guided me so well that things genuinely clicked. I didnโt just finish the assignment, I actually understood what I was doing and even what I should know beyond it.
Quiet win. Still counts.
And a small reminder to myself and anyone reading this: having a mentor is always essential. Iโm so, so grateful.
