My today's song is "Feeling Good" (I know Nina Simone and Muse have song it and both are great!)
It was a long run, but I enjoyed it a lot. I have reached 6899 coins. I am going to redeem my coins with LeetCode Kit (Includes an erasable pen, keychain, and T-shirt.)

Here is a bite of my journey:
I used to code in C++. In the 2019 Chrismas holidays, I decided to learn Java and watched the "CS106A - Programming Methodology" by Dr. Mehran Sahami from Stanford. Before summer 2019, I only solved 77 problems in the LeetCode in C++. To master Java and get ready for a future coding interview, I began solving LeetCode problems in Java in summer 2019. Since then, I have solved 1238 problems (1171 problems from the Algorithm section.)

I also made myself participate in LeetCode contests. I have finished 67 contests.
In my first contest, my goal was to solve two problems in the contest. Then, I pushed myself to solve three and all problems in the contest time. I have progressed slowly but steady and have accomplished my goals (most of the time). Now, I am focusing on reducing my time. I notice that many great and fast contestants are using Python in contests.

When LeetCode introduced the brand new Daily Challenge, I have decided to resolve these problems using Python to learn a new programming language. I am still at the beginning of the new goal, but I'm "Feeling Good."

Thank you, LeetCode!

PS. Believe me or not, I have not received any interview so far to assess my skills in an interview.
