I previously studied Web Design and Coding at the associate level, but I was unable to complete my degree. To be honest, I have significant gaps in my fundamental knowledge. If you were to ask why, I would admit that certain habits and lifestyle choices during my university years prevented me from attending classes and focusing on my studies.</p> <p>Currently, I am unemployed, and my mind feels incredibly foggy. I feel like I am thrashing about in the middle of the ocean, all alone, without knowing how to swim.</p> <p>While I don’t have much technical knowledge yet, I have a strong desire to improve myself in Web and Mobile development. I am looking for a mentor, or simply anyone willing to offer guidance on this journey. Even a short message of good luck or advice would genuinely mean the world to me.</p> <p>I also want to add that I have ADHD. This condition makes things challenging for me, but I know I have to fight and build something worthwhile in this life. I am determined to continue this struggle as long as I breathe, but the process does take a toll on my mental state. I currently don’t know which path to follow.</p> <p>Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. I hope I was able to express myself clearly.</p> <p>Wishing everyone all the best in their work.</p> webdev career learning leadership yahya karakaya Wed, 03 Dec 2025 19:33:34 +0000 https://dev.to/yahy4d/seeking-guidance-a-21-year-olds-fight-to-build-a-future-in-tech-2mi9 https://dev.to/yahy4d/seeking-guidance-a-21-year-olds-fight-to-build-a-future-in-tech-2mi9 <p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>My name is Yahya, and I am 21 years old.
