aditi's Story I first became interested in coding during my school years when I chose computer science as a subject. At first, I didn’t understand why so many students found it exciting. But when I wrote my first simple Python program—a calculator—I was surprised how a few lines of logic could solve real problems. It felt powerful and creative, like building something invisible but meaningful. What truly sparked my interest was seeing how technology shapes the world. From protecting our online identities to securing national systems, coding became more than just writing instructions—it became a tool to make an impact. I was especially drawn toward cybersecurity because very few people, especially girls, go into this field, and I wanted to challenge that. Even though I didn’t have access to high-end resources or training, I used free platforms to explore the basics. The more I learned, the more I realized that coding wasn’t just for professionals—it was for anyone willing to try. That moment changed everything. It gave me confidence that I can one day become someone skilled, independent, and capable of helping others by writing secure, smart, and ethical code. --- Let me know if you want to personalize it more or make it fit into a scholarship form or SOP.
