Compiling 2025: My personal Roadmap for 2025.

This is a submission for the 2025 New Year Writing challenge: Compiling 2025.

Hey fam, today is the last Saturday of 2024. We all had resolutions and goals that we set to be fulfilled by the end of 2024. When it's this time of the year most of us like to say what we achieved, no one likes to talk about their failures. Today I chose to be honest and I am sharing what I failed to achieve. Share in the comments what you archived, what you failed to archive, and the reason for the failure.

I was supposed to take the Oracle Certified Associate Java SE 8 exam but I didn't take it. Here are the reasons:

I didn't study enough to take the exam.
If I had managed my time enough, I could have written the exam.
I had enough resources but failed to use them.
Fear and anxiety also contributed.

Yes, I failed to fulfill my goal to take the Java exam but I fulfilled some of my goals.
I had a goal to create an e-commerce app for selling clothes, Here it is
I am welcome to feedback. I like learning in public and welcome your feedback, it helps me a lot.

I also had a goal to learn the React Redux Toolkit. Which I fulfilled and by s doing that's when I built my TrendTrove e-commerce app.

I built a Sophisticated Speech-to-Text AI but not yet deployed and everything is working fine.

I learned Hubspot and got three Hubspot certificates which is what certifies me the most.

You can see them on my LinkedIn profile here

I didn't attain the Java Certificate from Oracle but I attained many Java certificates from Sololearn, Udemy, Coursera, and GreatLearning.

✉️Here is my message to you all who didn't fulfill their goals. This is not the end, do not hate yourself for not fulfilling your goals. 2025 can still be yours and you can still achieve what you wanted to achieve in 2024.
