I am a student of Computer Science. It was my 4th semester at that time. A friend of mine offered me internship in web development in a company he was working in at that time. I hated writing code but I had a lot of free time after my classes so I accepted and started internship.

First two months were pretty hard, I even thought of leaving the internship so that I can pursue something that don't involve code like networking or something. But thankfully I didn't leave the internship because I didn't have some other opportunity (Thank God).

After three months my internship ended and I started understanding the code (Finally :-P). Same company where i was intern, offered me a job as junior dev.

It's been one and half year, here I am working in web dev, learning new things every day and I simply love what I do.
That's all that matters in the end. :)
