&lt;p&gt;I had the idea of making this blog to document myself as I grow. To be honest, every minute I spend learning a new concept about cybersecurity, I have doubts. Hearing those big, intimidating terms scares me. I keep thinking: am I actually able to do this? Am I going to make it? This all seems so complicated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example, it&amp;rsquo;s been a few months since I started Hack The Box Academy&amp;rsquo;s modules: Linux Fundamentals, Introduction to Networking, Web Requests, Windows Fundamentals, Introduction to Active Directory, Introduction to Web Applications. And I usually get that imposter syndrome feeling. Like I don&amp;rsquo;t belong here.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
