Intro
Hi folks, This is Arun. I am happy to share that I have successfully completed the hacktoberfest23 challenge. This is my first ever major contribution to any open-source project. Previously, I made some contributions but they were not accepted by the maintainer, but in this amazing challenge, I made it.

Highs and Lows
It is one of my biggest achievements for this month. Participating in Hacktoberfesr23 was such an amazing experience. I learned a lot from this challenge. I got the chance to connect with developers around the world and by talking to them I came to know so many new things. I also faced problems during this challenge but didn't stop and with the guidance of mentors I was able to overcome the problems. The biggest challenge that I faced was selecting the right projects to contribute as there are lots of projects in Hacktoberfest and we have to choose projects based on our tech stack so that we can start contributing. To select the right projects, I made a strategy like in the starting days of the challenge I viewed many projects and read their readmes to understand the tech stack of each project, and from that, I created a list of 6-7 projects that I found matching with my tech stack.

Growth
This challenge also enhanced my skills as before this challenge I didn't know anything about Kubernetes and Docker but during the challenge, I learned these technologies not completely but took a basic understanding and tried to contribute to some Docker and Kubernetes projects. The biggest lesson that I learned from this challenge is that no contribution is small, every contribution matters whether it is code or no code.
