Well, I did many things in my life and also get success. But here today I would like to talk about one of the difficult things which I did and also get success. It’s a non-another day, 24 hours hackathon. It was most difficult and also most rewarding things for me. When I was in second year of my college, me and my friends participated in a 24 hour hackathon. In this hackathon, we have to build software from scratch without any help of our college. So, on the first hour we decided who will develop for front end backend and who will sign role and who will lead the team with handling stress and also a sleeping schedule. Because in 24 hours we have to build full thing in our own without extra sleeping hours. And also, any idea of our team was not got in our favor. So, at the end of the day, at night I build a new skill and also learn a new JavaScript library to run our project. And at the end of the day we build the project but there was an error in the backend. So, we took the help of a mentor who was provided by the hackathon leader group. So, he helped me to debug our code and also helped me to run our code. At the end of the day, we build a mental health chatbot. We also got a second prize in this organization. We were incredibly happy because it’s our first hackathon and also it’s a lifetime experience. And I feel very confident after this hackathon and also participating in next one and we won that one. So, this is the all experience which we had.

Well, I have done many things in my life and also achieved success. But today, I would like to talk about one of the difficult things I did and succeeded in. It's a 24-hour hackathon. It was one of the most difficult and rewarding experiences for me. When I was in my second year of college, my friends and I participated in a 24-hour hackathon. In this hackathon, we had to build software from scratch without any help from our college. So, in the first hour, we decided who would develop the front end, who would handle the back end, and who would lead the team while managing stress and our sleeping schedule. Because in 24 hours, we had to build everything on our own without extra sleeping hours. Additionally, none of our team's ideas were working in our favor. By the end of the day, I learned a new skill and also picked up a new JavaScript library to run our project. We completed the project, but there was an error in the back end. We took the help of a mentor provided by the hackathon organizers. He helped me debug our code and also assisted in running it. In the end, we built a mental health chatbot and won second prize in the competition. We were incredibly happy because it was our first hackathon, and it was a lifetime experience. I felt very confident after this hackathon and participated in the next one, which we also won. So, this is the entire experience we had.
