My short career and in the near future

My short career and in the near future

When I look back on the past, if I don’t remember what I did in the year even if just a little, it seems like I didn’t try very hard at anything, which is very sad, so I’m going to write down quickly what I’v done so far on a yearly basis.

I’m writing down here with my short career and what I’d’ like to do in the near future.

Career history

2018: Started working as an IT engineer in April, but I didn’t write any code and I was working as a help desk all the time.
2019: Started programming. I was finally able to get a job writing code and worked all hours while learning.
2020: Studied more programming and English, started getting job offers and started committing to GitHub as well.
2021: Job Changing to RareJob, inc in June.

What I’d like to in the near future.

The rest of 2021: Focus on improving your English skills using SMART Method program, and I will get a good IELTS score next year in 2022. Because Because I’d like to be admitted to University of London offering Computer Science degree online and I need to demonstrate a good level of English to apply for that. They say IELTS are accepted for all undergraduate courses, provided they have been awarded within the past three years, and require 6 overall, with 5.5 in each sub-test (Academic or General or IELTS Indicator Online Test).
2022: Take IELTS in January, and apply for the earliest openings of the year for the University of London.

Although I have had a fulfilling career, but I regret not enrolling in university and I want to learn about computer science properly. I want to study computer science and get a degree through the wonderful means provided by Coursera and the University of London. This has been my goal for the past few years. I am almost there to make it come true.

I dare to write here in order to realize my goal. Backwater.
