Imposter syndrome is the fear of exposure as a fraud. If you’re anything like me you have felt like your work was not good enough to show. Or you weren’t far along enough in your journey as a developer to have much to contribute.(by - Travis Fantina) </h2> <p>After listening about hacktoberfest from our senior I was very excited to learn. Starting as newbie I told myself I was too inexperienced as a developer and I worried that my commits wouldn’t be worthwhile. Unfortunately, I let those fears get the better of me, and I didn’t even bother signing up.I started by looking at projects I was familiar with familiar with. Specifically, I browsed tools and projects that I had used a lot like cpp, python,netbeans for java, among others. Whenever possible I searched by issues tagged “Hacktoberfest”, “First Time Contributor” or “Easy”. I didn’t want all five pull requests to come from one repository (although there is nothing wrong with that). After a few pull requests on from my seniors, I started venturing out and exploring GitHub.</p> hacktoberfest
