Embracing Challenges: The Journey of an International Student in Pursuit of an Career
Happy New Year 2024! Fireworks fade, glitter falls, and resolutions dance in the air. It’s 2024, a shiny blank page, ripe with promise.
The usual celebratory mood on this New Year’s Eve seems cruel.Although a lot of people enjoyed yesterday’s festivities, I personally found myself thinking more about the hollowness of unemployment and the hum of algorithms than about family gatherings and friend reunions.
Not that I didn’t try. Days and nights blend together, driven by code and coffee. Applications are flooding my email, each one a hopeful prayer threw into the emptiness. “Master’s in AI,” I’m typing, “1 year experience, eager to learn…” However, the silence that follows the submit button murmurs, “Not good enough.”

It might be really difficult to effectively manage your time so that you can focus on your education and career. Here time, that precious alchemy, becomes a tyrant. Sleep shrinks, sanity dims, and doubt’s murmurs increases. Nevertheless, I have learned a great deal about persistence and time management thanks to these trials.
