I'd like to talk about the time my mother made a special Middle Eastern dish, called shakshuka, for me. It happened in June 2020, after I completed a six-month coding bootcamp. I found it very difficult to get a job in the IT industry for two main reasons. Firstly, I didn't have any academic degrees. Secondly, during the COVID-19 outbreak, many companies were struggling to survive. This made me feel discouraged and depressed. My mother noticed my sadness and decided to make a special dish for me, shakshuka. I had been to Egypt a few years earlier and fell in love with this particular dish. It holds a special place in my heart, and I have many fond memories of it from my trip. My mother searched for the recipe online and spent several hours in the kitchen preparing it. We enjoyed the dish together, and it really cheered me up. It helped me forget about all the difficulties I was facing. I felt happy and rejuvenated after that meal.
