  My Hacktoberfest Experience
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I participated in Hacktoberfest for the first time this year and I must say I was very happy when I found out that all my Pull Requests were accepted.&lt;br&gt;
I participated in an Open Source Day event organized by the virtual Grace Hopper Conference and that was how I was able to get my PRs for hacktoberfest. I really enjoyed the whole experience and found making open source contributions very exciting and fulfilling. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  What I Learned From Hacktoberfest
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I learnt not to downplay my little contributions. You can make contributions that really seem easy to you but they actually count as contributions and go a great way in helping an organization or project. One more thing, whenever you are stuck, feel free to ask questions. This goes a long way in helping you making your contributions rather than quiting because you do not understand something. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here are my Pull Requests that were accepted for hacktoberfest:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--qN8UVAbV--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/q4ii18o1xp18qt1r1l0o.PNG" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/practicaldev/image/fetch/s--qN8UVAbV--/c_limit%2Cf_auto%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto%2Cw_880/https://dev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/i/q4ii18o1xp18qt1r1l0o.PNG" alt="my contributions"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Future is Open!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;span class="p"&gt;};&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="kd"&gt;const&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;{&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;rest&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="p"&gt;}&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="o"&gt;=&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="nx"&gt;Baby&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span class="nx"&gt;console&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;log&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="nx"&gt;name&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="p"&gt;);&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="c1"&gt;// 'Tabby'&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
