Exciting News: I Landed My First Internship!

I’m thrilled to share some fantastic news with you all—I’ve secured my first internship! A big thank you to the incredibly supportive community on r/cybersecurity for your invaluable advice that helped me prepare for this opportunity.

As I prepare to sign the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and my internship contract in just a few weeks, I can barely contain my excitement. I’ll be diving into a web application project, collaborating with another intern focused on quality assurance. This hands-on experience over the next three months will be pivotal for my professional growth.

There’s even a chance to transition into a part-time paid role if I demonstrate strong skills during the internship. The prospect of this opportunity is motivating, and I can’t wait to contribute to the team and learn as much as possible.

I genuinely appreciate all the encouragement and well wishes from everyone who responded to my previous post. Your support means the world to me!

Update: I’m also grateful for the kind messages and awards received—thank you all for making this experience even more special!
