In this article, I delve into my personal journey over the past sixteen years, highlighting the significant milestones and challenges that have shaped who I am today. I reflect on my early years, where I was an average student without any notable achievements in sports or extracurricular activities, yet I found solace in academics.

The year 2020 brought unprecedented changes with the pandemic, leading to a period of drifting and uncertainty. However, it was during this time that I discovered my passion for coding. Through YouTube tutorials and online resources, I immersed myself in learning various programming languages and platforms. This self-taught journey marked a pivotal moment in my life.

By Class 9, I had earned several coding certifications and began to step into new roles as a volunteer, leader, and friend, gaining recognition for my tech skills. I candidly share the ups and downs of my project HEXTRA, which, despite not succeeding as planned, taught me invaluable lessons about trust, resilience, and the importance of perseverance.

Now, as the founder of edXtra, I am committed to revolutionizing education by making quality resources accessible to all students. We at edXtra are dedicated to democratizing learning and empowering students across India. As I prepare for the JEE 2026, I embrace the challenges ahead with determination and a clear sense of purpose.

This article is a testament to my growth, the lessons learned, and my unwavering commitment to making a difference in the field of education. It is a reflection on the journey so far and a hopeful look towards the future, filled with resilience, innovation, and the drive to leave a positive impact on the world.
