I'm 19 and Last year I made the most reckless decision of my life.
I dropped out of college.
Told my parents it would all be worth it one day.
They didn’t believe me.
They said I’d be seen as just a high school passout.
No degree. No job. No backup.
And honestly… I couldn’t even convince them.
Because at 19, I hadn’t done anything impressive yet. I had nothing to show.
I got my first laptop at 18.
That’s when everything started.
I began learning to code. Slowly. Messily.
Built my first apps:
NODELAY, a salon booking app.
NowExcel, Cursor for Excel.
Fasttly, a web page summariser and Chrome extension.
No fancy background. No connections. Just WiFi and stubbornness.
Today I’m 19. Still figuring it out. Building in public. Trying to make enough so I don’t have to ask my parents for money.
I will make this work.
You can screenshot this if you want.
Follow along and let’s win together.
