Hi! Welcome to my first-ever blog post. I'm excited to start this blog where I'll be writing about myself, my thoughts, and my experiences in school and work.
Why now?
As a typical computer guy, I'm usually anxious and introverted, making it hard for me to put my thoughts and ideas out there to be heard.
I've always wanted to start a blog, but I never had the confidence to do so. I thought no one would be interested in my life since I haven't done anything particularly special (except for finishing high school without really studying, which I thought was cool).
However, during my college trip to San Francisco in April 2023, I learned something valuable from Nills, a Belgian working at Microsoft. He said that you should stand out and show that you're unique. So I started thinking about blogging.
Blogging to document my life is a good way to reflect and have a place to store memories, which can help me see how far I've come and how much I've learned. I realized that it's also a good way to think about my past joys and mistakes, and I hope people like me can benefit from my experiences.
Personal challenges of writing a blog
-
Improving writing ability:
As a Gen Z kid, I have no problem listening and speaking English, thanks to social media and TV shows. However, I want to improve my writing skills and bring my English proficiency to a higher level through this blog.

Building blog in GatsbyJS:
When I thought about how to build my blog, I searched for examples and found GatsbyJS. It's a React-based open-source framework specifically built for fast and performant static websites. Since I already know React, I hope that using GatsbyJS won't be a big adjustment, and it can be useful for future projects.
When is the next post?
I haven't made a schedule for posting yet. I'll probably write when I have a combination of free time and ideas or thoughts that I want to share with the world.
Found a mistake? Have a question? Let me know!
Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or notice any grammar mistakes. I'd love to hear your constructive feedback!
Stay tuned for my first interesting post about my trip to San Francisco.
