### _Namaste everyone !_

> #### Myself Deepak Agrawal 🚀👨‍💻 

I'm a newbie developer,
I've been coding in C++ past 2 years but that was all like CMD o/p based so it was not much fun, like seeing the o/p in just a small window though the logic and computation is fun,

``` 
So I started learning HTMl CSS and JS to convert my 

imaginations into reality with medium of these languages 

and it's quite addictive and I love it
``` 
I got to know about Hacktoberfest in mid of October when one of the recommendation popped up on my [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFLlakeNO10) feed and it was from [Eddie](https://dev.to/eddiejaoude).

### _Background :_
I've heard a lot about open source but didn't knew much about it until Hacktoberfest.
On the official website the tutorials that were provided helped me to understand what open source actually and why does it matter so much and that completely shaped my perspective towards open source
It's like contributing for more and more betterment of a project or a software or a website which eventually gives you satisfaction of using your knowledge that would help everyone using it out there. And also feels proud that your code is part of some kind cool projects 

<!-- Are you brand new to open source? What about coding in general? Tell us about how you got here -->

### _Progress :_
Firstly I was confused where to start and which repos to stick with,previously I've created some small projects in JS HTML and CSS so on Github I searched regarding this tags and a number of Repos were available and seeing that it was like I've got an playground or an arena to code and contribute towards open source.

### _Reflections :_
```
The happiness of First successfully merged PR cannot be measured 
in any kind of sense but just be experienced by efforts.
```

This was my first experience participating in Hacktoberfest and completely fell in love with open source.
In this period of 15 days I learned a lot open source contribution, web development and got connected with a lot of like minded people with help of Github.
```
Learning from the mistakes is great quality that every human
should have and Hacktoberfest helped me to practice it.
```

> _Above I've mentioned that I have 14 Successful merged PRs which is out of 24 in total made so never loose hope and always try giving your best._
