Looking for a Mentor – Just a Beginner Trying to Change His Life

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the world of programming and have been studying seriously for the past 4 months. So far, I've learned and worked with:

Java (OOP, core concepts)

JDBC for database connections

JSP and Servlets for web development

HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap for the frontend

Spring (including Spring Boot and Spring Security basics)

MySQL for database design and queries

Basic knowledge of Git and GitHub

I'm currently learning Angular to build full-stack projects

I'm working hard every day because I truly need to grow and change my life. I’m looking for my first job or internship opportunity in tech — even something small to gain real experience.

What I’m really hoping for is to find a kind and experienced developer who could give me some guidance, advice, or even mentorship. I can’t afford to pay at this moment, but I would gladly compensate you as soon as I get a job. I’m not asking for charity — I just believe in learning from those who’ve already walked this path.

If someone out there sees potential in me and is willing to help, I’d deeply appreciate it. 🙏 Even just a few words of direction can mean a lot.

Thanks for reading.
