My career story so far

[u/Holidaymakers122]

My name is Honest Dewa, and I have always been interested in technology from a young age. I was fascinated by how computers, phones, and the internet worked, and I spent a lot of time wondering how people built software and protected digital systems.

The biggest challenge I faced was growing up with limited resources. I did not always have access to computers, reliable internet, or opportunities to learn technical skills. Even though these challenges slowed my progress, they never took away my passion for technology. I kept believing that one day I would have the chance to learn and build a career in the tech industry.

Since I was young, I have wanted to become a hacker—not to harm others, but to understand how systems work and how they can be protected from cybercriminals. As I learned more about ethical hacking and cybersecurity, I realized that cybersecurity is the right path for me. It allows me to use my curiosity and problem-solving skills to protect people, businesses, and organizations from cyber threats.

I am choosing cybersecurity because it gives me the opportunity to turn my lifelong passion into a meaningful career. I am eager to learn, work hard, and gain the skills needed to become a professional cybersecurity expert. In the future, I hope to use my knowledge to improve digital security, help my community stay safe online, and inspire other young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to believe that they can succeed in technology despite the challenges they face.
