#1 on the leaderboard in 45 days🥇
I want to start with something I still can’t believe: I became the #1 person on the leaderboard. I didn’t even celebrate it properly, but today, I finally want to say it out loud. Thank you. Thank you to this group, this community, and every single one of you who supported me, encouraged me, and believed in me. And especially, thank you to my incredible friends here, @Sara Moein @Zara Vajihi @Afsaneh Moayedi @Narges Azizi @Saman Bazmi …and so many others who’ve become more than just “members.”You’ve become my people. Your energy, your kindness, your presence, this is what made networking feel like a routine, not a task. A warm part of my day, and a special thank you to our coach @Alex B for the guidance, the mindset shifts, and all the valuable lessons you’ve shared with us. Today marks 45 days since I joined this community. And looking at where I stand now still feels unreal. I didn’t get here because I’m special. I got here because I showed up, stayed consistent, and tested myself in ways I never had before. And because this community gave me a safe space to grow, experiment, and rebuild the version of myself that I lost along the way. But if I’m being sincere… When I first joined, I felt small. I thought everyone was ahead of me, and I felt so far from their stage for applying for a 100K job, more confident, more experienced, more accomplished.I thought the things that happened to others would never happen to me. But my perspective changed. The moment I stepped in…The moment I tried, practiced, shared, spoke up, and stayed consistent…I realized something powerful: I wasn’t behind. I was just untested. And everything shifted after that, the growth, the friendships, the confidence, the connection I built with myself. This community didn’t just give me skills, but also gave me a new way of seeing myself. A perspective I didn’t know I needed.
