I was always an average student in school, never had enough motivation to finish a homework, theory was just not my thing.
The day after passing my baccalaureate, woke up asking my self : "Ok..What's next? ". I remember having a conversation with a group of close friends where each one of us talked about what he wanted to do this summer and all i heard was "Party all summer" or "do nothing just relax".
I didn't want that! School was over and I wanted to take control of my future , no teachers to guide me anymore and tell me what I should do, parents have a lot less authority on me. I found myself facing the real world. This was the best time to build the foundation of what I wanted to be.
That same summer I learned C++ on my own ( an important computer programming language) and I got an internship at A.B.K (A leading bank in Kuwait). Although it was only a 2 month investment of time and energy, that investment directly started paying off as soon as I started university and still is paying off.
On one's route to success, self investment and sacrifices are always necessary; it doesn't happen overnight.
