Hacktoberfest: Beyond contributions

This is a submission for the 2024 Hacktoberfest Writing challenge: Contributor Experience

I have done my first open-source contribution during Hacktoberfest 2024. I have successfully done 6 accepted pull requests and for every pull request I done, I just didn't contribute for an issue but understood the idea of the project, it's executions and motive of doing it. I definetely believe that these projects are not just repositories but doors to new opportunities and lifestyles.

All of 6 contributions are made on 6 different repositories and 6 different motives to achieve various destinations and solution to 6 different problem statements. The journey with Hacktoberfest didn't just end up with pull requests and contributions but doors to new collaborations and connections.

I just went through 6 different destinations and lifestyles in a matter of few days which made me to think on various new problem statements and eagerness to solve them. All thanks to the team of Hacktoberfest for helping us to think on new directions and solutions for existing problem statements which are yet to be solved.
