It is already a few days before the start of the new year, i want to reflect on this year and see what i can improve and work on in the upcoming year. Beginning of 2025, around this time last year i was under a lot of pressure, my grades were mediocre , i was worried whether or not i would get accepted into my preferred university program. Overall i was feeling very stressed and lost, but eventually everything worked out well, as it always does. Looking back i believe that a lot of those feelings could have been prevented but it taught me a lot. 2025 was also the year that i graduated high school, visited my family in Senegal after nearly 7 years without seeing them, turned 18, started blogging, strengthened my friendships, started university and now i get to experience the magic of being in a big city after living in a small town for so long. Every start of a new year i set few goals for myself, but year after year i have become aware that i always struggle with the same ones. this year, i desperately want to get rid of those bad habits. I want to make a big shift in my day to day routines and stay consistent with them. This year i want some real progress.
2025 was a year full of blessings. now let's work hard to make 2026 even greater!

I have great admiration for people who are vigorously pursuing mastery in their craft. Their dedication and commitment to deeply understanding each aspect of their field seems to be driven by such an incomprehensible passion and perseverance, an extreme hunger to learn, which seems to never be satiated. Few months ago i watched a documentary about Maryam Mirzakhani (peace to her soul) needless to say, i was in awe. Her passion to learn and discover more about mathematics was so intense to the point that it was contagious trough the screen. After finishing the documentary, i felt inspired to learn about new mathematical concepts
Her difficult life journey motivates me to work hard and persevere trough the hardships of this world
