This was the very beginning of the journey. At this stage, it was important to immerse myself in the basics and get into the learning mindset. And perhaps, to think about how new knowledge might impact my future.

I was eagerly looking forward to the start of the course. The thought of stepping into the world of development was incredibly inspiring.

In the early stages, I dealt with fears and doubts that many beginners experience. One of them was the fear of a blank slate. Of course, it’s much more than just a fear of an empty piece of paper. Often, deeper questions hide behind this feeling: Where do I start? What if it’s too difficult? What if I fail?

At this stage, it was really tough for me. I thought I wouldn’t be able to handle it or absorb such a large amount of information. The hardest part was the fact that the deadline was looming, and I had to hurry.

The first project was completed! But it was still just the beginning of the journey. The joy could quickly fade, replaced by the fear of failure. Or, on the contrary, I could draw inspiration from my achievements and start believing in myself

After successfully completing my first project, I was incredibly happy that I had overcome my doubts and uncertainties. I formulated a principle for myself: "It’s important to start and move forward, step by step. These steps build experience."

At this stage, I had already gained a solid understanding of the basics of layout, which helped me realize how much more there was ahead. I could try to chase perfection, only to understand that it was unattainable.

This phase of learning taught me that things can always be improved, but it’s crucial to know when to stop, overcome perfectionism, and remember that time is limited.

Throughout this journey, I was never truly alone (although at times, it felt like I was fighting against the whole world). I was surrounded by fellow students, a support team, and just loved ones I could complain to when a layout refused to cooperate. Learning something new is easier when there are like-minded people around, isn’t it?

My family and friends supported me in moments of despair and sadness, which weren’t that rare. Walks with my beloved dog helped me take a break from studying and recharge for the next project.

In this course, I was constantly solving different tasks. At some point, it felt like I had run out of solutions. That was the time to look at the problem from a different perspective.

I’m still working on this point, but in those rare moments when I realize that a problem can be solved in multiple ways, I feel immense joy and give myself credit for it.

During my studies, I often felt overwhelmed. I had to submit projects, solve tasks, dive deeper into theory, and still remember to live life. In such moments, focus was absolutely necessary.

In moments of despair, I remind myself of my goal. I remind myself that overcoming challenges is what makes me grow.

Now I know a lot about layout. But this is just the beginning. First, there’s still so much to learn about making things "beautiful." Second, learning doesn’t stop when the course ends. Layout is an entire world, and this world is constantly changing. It’s impossible to fully grasp it, but this is one of those cases where the process itself is what truly matters. After all, the journey is often the result.

With every project I complete, I become more convinced that I made the right choice. It’s amazing to see how I can turn an idea into something practical and useful for others. This meaning inspires me deeply. Most likely, no one will ever read this text. So let it be a quiet reminder to myself of how strong I am. It won’t be easy, but it will be exciting. And you’ll get through it. I promise.
