I'm excited to share that I've won in three competitions this past month: 🥈 2nd place and Honorable mention in the Devpost Hackswift 2024, earning a cash prize of $200 and $1061.88 in sponsor benefits per team on March 23, 2024. 🥈 2nd place in the Sports Innovation Student Challenge with a prize of $3750 per team on March 20, 2024. 🥉 3rd place in the Creative Coding Student Challenge with a prize of $3000 per team on February 28, 2024. To provide context, I have participated in 10 competitions this year and a total of 17 throughout my life. While I have previously been selected in the top 5 on a few competitions, I had never secured a spot in the top 3 or won a prize in any competitions before. Therefore, I am immensely proud of this recent achievement and have learned the importance of not giving up despite setbacks. I have to admit there were many times when I felt disheartened by not winning in competitions and even shed tears for it. However, I took each failure as an learning opportunity for growth for next time. I am also grateful for the friends I have made throughout these competitions and proud of the projects we have built together. Moving forward, I am eager to continue this journey and embrace the challenges I face along the way. Here are the log of the competitions I have participated in so far: 2021: April:  iQmetrix Hackathon (https://lnkd.in/g6imR7N6) (selected for Top-5) May: Circular Economy for Sustainable Future Student Challenge (https://lnkd.in/gJ546fcR ) , Hack4Health Hackathon (https://lnkd.in/gEJ889Xe) , August: OPPOHack Competition, 2023: October :  IEEE Xtreme Competition , November :  Ubc Biztech x Deloitte ThinkTech Competition ,  Technation Ocean Tech Student Challenge (https://lnkd.in/ggeRAjAe) (selected for Top-5) 2024:  January :  Innovation Onboard Competition ,  Microsoft Imagine Cup (Got into Microsoft for Startup Founders Hub) , February:  Technation Health Care for Aging Canadians (https://lnkd.in/gGzMzeAW) ,  FLUI Design Hackathon (https://lnkd.in/gDeS3SjW) ,  Technation Creative Coding Challenge (3rd spot) March:  SFU MISA Breakthrough Case Competition (https://lnkd.in/gq7Z-haC) ,  LEAP24 AI Hackathon,  cmd-f hackathon (https://lnkd.in/gkTPZynY) ,  Technation Sports Innovation Student Challenge (2nd spot) ,  Devpost HackSwift 2024 (https://lnkd.in/gyg2YRMM)   (2nd spot)
