Back in my college days, most students were busy mastering C++ or Java, because every company visiting the campus preferred those languages for coding rounds.
Even my faculty advised me to pick Java and “at least become an expert in it.”
But I had already made my decision.
I chose Python — and decided to stick with it.
Why?
Because Python’s clean syntax, simplicity, and wide range of applications instantly clicked with me. It felt natural. It felt fun. It felt powerful.
So I started exploring everything I could using Python:
- Web development
- GUI applications
- Machine learning
- Game development
- Data analysis
- Chatbots
- Automation
- …and a lot more.
I wanted to understand how far Python could take me — and the more I explored, the more I fell in love with it.
My content writing journey played a huge role too.
Writing articles helped me understand concepts more clearly, and GeeksforGeeks became the platform where I strengthened my foundation.
It even gave me my first internship.
Slowly, things started changing.
Companies that earlier accepted only C++/Java began adding Python as an allowed language in hackathons and campus placements — including the All India Hackathons.
And because I stayed consistent with Python, I got selected at Infosys (DSE profile) using Python itself.
So yes — Python helped me get:
- My first internship at GFG
- My first job at Infosys
- The clarity and confidence to grow in tech
Looking back, I’m genuinely grateful that I trusted my instincts instead of following the crowd.
This is why I love Python.
It didn’t just teach me programming — it shaped my career.
