After senior high school I didn't want to go to the university that same year so I did not apply to any universities. My mum did not like the idea that I was going to be home a whole year so she enrolled me in an IT institute (AITI-KACE).
I actually wanted to learn Linux systems because I'd started to use Ubuntu as a primary OS but that course was already fully enrolled so I picked the next best thing based on advise from the academic head. That thing was Foundations in Software Development, that's the class I got into.
That was 2012 and and the rest they say, is history.
Looking back, I can see that it's one of the best decisions my mum made for me plus the class was very fun.
