This is the first draft of essay. I'm NOT sure if it helps to understand my personality. Any help will be appreciated.
"That was a really excellent presentation. I learned so many new things from that. Thank you." a guy in his early thirties came to me and patted on my back. It was after I presented in WordCamp Nepal 2015. It was ecstatic moment. Finally I felt like I did something worthy in my life.
Late Teenage is probably the most difficult period in our human life. "We are expected to behave like adults and yet treated like child." my college friend ranted about his condition. Honestly, I didn't care about being treated or behaving like adults until that small gesture.
From early childhood, I learned to work hard. I wanted to be adult as soon as possible. Tired of limitations placed on teenagers, I wanted to be free. I wanted to own my business and travel the world. The endeavor continued. I started my own business; failed. Got up and started learning again. Down the line, I helped quite a few people to get started on their journey. Sometime it was by organizing event like Django Girls Coding Bootcamp or some other time suggesting mutual friends on how to move ahead.
Funny thing is I had already received such pats. Mostly from relatives or teachers or someone who I worked closely with for some projects. I didn't think much about that.
Finally, that pat changed everything. I helped a stranger without any expectation. Now I didn't just want to own business, make money and travel the world. I wanted to help people. I wanted to change the lives of people by bringing positive impacts. I felt that sense of pleasure by doing something without any expectation. Maybe that is when I had the transition from a teenager to adult. I was more confident of my skills. I was more than determined with new vigor and more clear picture of what I want to do.
