I started contributing on October 31st around 8-9 pm and was thrilled to earn the Level 1 Badge the next day. Even after the event, I continued contributing to projects, feeling motivated with each pull request. This experience opened the door to the open-source world for me, and I’m eager to contribute more. Though I missed all badges this time, I’m excited to participate next year and aim to achieve them all. Thank you for this incredible event✨<br> <a href="[](https://holopin.io/@khushimahato)"></a></p> devchallenge hacktoberfest opensource
