A few years back, as a pre-teen who watched a lot of movies, I was fascinated by hackers. Honestly, this is what got me into security. To see "hackers" do what they did made me feel like they were invincible. But as I grew up, I found out about what actually a "hacker is. This is when I thought, my career is going to based on InfoSec. My learning started when I started looking up how to hack stuff on Google. It started with me phishing my friends and pranking them by telling them I read their mind to find their password. It was really fun. When I was 15, all my friends started planning their career and made maps of what they wanted to do. I found out it was time for me too. So I did all the Googling I could to make my own plan. It was not perfect. But it got me started. Now, here I am an 18-year-old student, who is trying to make a career in what he wants to. InfoSec.
