The Challenges and Learning
US OSPO provided us with five initial assignments, which I found quite challenging at first. However, as I persevered, I gradually became more comfortable with the tasks and gained a deeper understanding of US OSPO’s project. The support from my mentor was invaluable during this phase, helping me complete the assignments and build my confidence.
With the assignments under my belt, I started working on my project proposal. It was an 11-page document that required detailed planning and a clear articulation of my approach and objectives. Interestingly, unlike many participants, I did not make any pull requests (PRs) before being selected. This was a deviation from the common advice but showed that each journey can be unique.
