Finally Specialist on Codeforces
By N0V1CE, history, 17 months ago, In English

Hi Codeforces Community,

In recent Div3. round on CodeForces I secured a rank 1541 among more than 20K participants and finally became Specialist on Codeforces. It took me almost a year to finally turn Cyan on Codeforces.

I would like to thank AyuAnchor and i_pranavmehta bhaiya for helping and guiding me. Also, special mention to a aayush_chhabra, aman_m42, 9.86960440109,The_MazeRunner and titia whose codes in python have helped me to a great extent. I would like to extend my thank to the codeforces community who have been very supportive (especially the python users).

The next step is Expert on Codeforces. I humbly request everyone to share tips/ suggestions which they might have, so that I quickly hit my next target of becoming Expert.

Some take-aways from the journey till now:

  1. You can be competitive while still being a kind person : Everyone whom I have reached out have always helped me in some or the other way.

  2. Good Things Take Time: Even if you practice a lot, you are bound to have bad days, where nothing will work in favour of you. So keep grinding and practicing and to those who think they are unable to improve, you will see progress soon.

Siiiuuuu,

    Yeah, and what are you? Could you please stop disrespecting people from this stupid unrated alt account if you are so proud of your comments?

      You're right. I should do contests, trolling with a higher rating is better. Thanks for the tip.
