Introduce yourself
Jun. 4th, 2022 09:10 pmHello Everyone,
I am Priyansh Singh from India and i will be graduating in Information Technology. Though belonging from a different field I still had an interest in coding and Open Source development. It has always fascinated me and this is the reason that I have been participating in several open-source programs which have really helped me in gaining a lot of knowledge and experience. I have been selected as an Outreachy intern for the project “Improve diagnostics of typhoid through Open Science: An Artificial Intelligence-based technique” and I am really excited and grateful for this opportunity. This is going to be a great experience for me where I will get to work on a lot of things and simultaneously learn and acquire new skills which will prove very useful for me in my future career.
Core values that have always helped me are Passion and Hard work
I believe hard work is the first step towards smart work. Through hard work, I gain experience and it helps me to discover many new things. This experience enables me to think smartly to solve critical problems and achieve my dream. Also, I think there is no shortcut to success. Hard work is the only key to achieving it and thus teaches us discipline, dedication and determination. I believe if you have the determination and willpower to crack something you will definitely be in that place where you want to be. The famous quote "Where there is a will, there is a way" completely relates to this. Also, I kept hopes and confidence in myself to achieve what I wish to do. I think it is totally you and your mind frame who decide what you want and how far you want to go. Nothing can come in between your dreams until and unless you want that. It's all my faith and belief in myself that I was able to get this internship. I just kept doing my work without thinking if I will be selected or not and kept hope in myself.
What motivated me to apply to Outreachy?
I had heard Outreachy internship from one of my seniors who had cracked it and gave a seminar on this in my college when I was in my second year. It was then when I got to know about this amazing internship and believe me at that time only, I decided I will try for this with utmost dedication and learning. I got to know how Outreachy will be a great opportunity and a learning experience for me to excel in the IT industry and will be beneficial for my career. When I heard about this from my senior, I got really enthusiastic to know about it, as my senior told me Outreachy helps people who are from under-represented groups and is a life-changing experience for a contributor. I feel happy now that I am connected with such amazing mentors who are there to guide and motivate me at every step. This opportunity which I have got, I am really thankful to my parents, friends, and mentors whose support has helped me in reaching here on such a great platform. I always have shared my knowledge and experience with beginners and this is a great chance for me to prove myself capable and then help other people in getting to Outreachy. Looking forward to the best 3 months of my life.
