I hadn't planned on starting AWS in 2024. My first-year self would have found this a daunting challenge. But after joining PCS9 and making it to the finals, I wanted to maintain my momentum.
Balancing extra activities, academics, and seeking opportunities was tough. I volunteered for events at my university, including GDG Baguio. I also attended any tech-related event I could find on social media.
During a lull at a registration booth, I opened Facebook to update my friends. I'd seen the AWS Cloud Group before but hadn't paid much attention. Then, I saw the certification exam registration. Having previously attempted to learn Azure, I figured it might be a helpful stepping stone.
I registered, knowing my limited experience in the tech field.
Then, I received an unexpected email. It started with "Congratulations! You are..." and I knew something incredible had happened. The club had chosen me as one of their mentees.
All that hard work had paid off, and you're probably just one click away from your success.
