I’m from South India (Andhra Pradesh). Over the years, I’ve worked in quite a few different fields — as a Cyber Security Analyst on a SOC project, on full-stack development projects, and even as a Junior Engineer in the quality department of a steel industry. Back in university, I served as a class representative for two semesters and was even recognized as the Best Performer of the Team at work once. But honestly, it wasn’t an easy journey. People mocked me, they taunted me, and there were nights I’d cry alone on my apartment terrace. Still, every time, I picked myself back up and kept going. Today, I work as a Pacemaker Technician, interacting with doctors and patients daily — something I never imagined I’d be doing back then. The truth is, the government doesn’t really provide much support for people like us. We have to find our own way forward. P.S. – This is my first post here.
