Hello Codeforces community! Today I will talk about my programing journey. I started 2 years ago, like one month before I created this account. Back then I used to write brute-force codes.

The beginning

2 months after I started programing, our teacher created a contest where if you got 40 out of 200 points you would get the right to participate in the local informatics olympiad, also known as OJI. That year I only got 30 points out of 200, one of the worst performances in my schools history.

A better year

The next year, I had the chance to participate at that contest again, and managed to get 80 out of 300. That meant I qualified for OJI!!!. At OJI i didn't do that well, getting 40 out of 200 and being the only student in my class to not qualify for the national informatics olympiad, also known as ONI. People made fun of me for a long time, they still do, even if I improved at coding.

Now

This year I started doing well at Codeforces competitions and other competitions in my country. At the start of the school year, I participated at InfoTeams, a programing contest in teams. Me and my team got 16th place out of 25 teams, but that didn't make us sad. At that contest, I was the only one in my team to get 100% on a problem. At Codeforces I started performing better, managing to solve 2 problems at div 2. The last Codeforces contest, Codeforces Round 981 (Div. 3), was really bad for me. I solved 2 problems but one got hacked, so my rating will be really bad now. Tomorrow I will have another competition in my country named Stelele Informaticii. Hope I do well in that one and I hope I will solve 2 or 3 problems at tomorrows div 2.

Happy coding!
