It was the end of first semester when I was a fourth grade student in my university.  I wanted to be a good software developer but I was not sure I could make it well. Not only could I not trust my ability and passion for the job, but I also hadn't finished my obligatory military service by then. Thus, I had decided to try out my developing ability by enrolling in three programming classes.


Each class had programming assignments every two weeks and we had to make the software perfect by the end of the semester.
All of my friends told me it was a crazy decision and I would definitely fail because even one class's assignment was so tough that my classmates would drop the class in the middle of the semester. However, I pledged myself to do my assignments perfectly because I was anxious to gain the confidence that I could succeed as a software developer in the future.


I did my best and I concentrated on doing my programming assignments. I slept only four-five hours a day at that time. Sometimes I was so tired and I'd like to stop everything but mostly I was happy because I could feel that my skills were developing at that time. Finally, I got three A pluses in all three programming classes and I could become a software developer.
