My motivation came from a personal decision — I wanted to return to Bulgaria. This made me reflect on my long-term future and the need for a stable career to achieve my goals back home.
I began researching different professions, and since many of my family members and friends were already working in IT, I decided to pursue this field as well.
The program helped me the most by teaching me how to learn the right way, how to work effectively in a team, and how to recognize and better understand both my strengths and weaknesses.
Alpha completely changed how I approach my own development. It boosted my confidence and taught me perseverance — qualities that are vital not only in IT but in any path you take.
Develop persistence, discipline, and faith in yourself and in the journey you’ve chosen. Alpha will challenge you, but if you stay committed, you’ll discover how capable you truly are.
