Could the haggles, the doubters, my coaching chemistry teacher, to everyone who's ever told me to stay in line? Get into college, keep your head down, study in EJOT syllabus for four years, play safe and hope to get it all. This is a disaster. When Sushant wanted to build a healthcare assistant, they said, "You can't Sushant, you don't even know a doctor, but put restless nights with guidance from real builders and you can." When Sahar wanted to code outside of his curriculum, they said, "You can't Sohar, you have to do everything in order. But put him in a college where coding is treated like a sport and you can start using the same force to it. You can." You would criticise us just to shield your fear. Holistic this, complete that. But do I really need to study chemistry to become an engineer? They call us misfits. Try hards. The ones who take it too seriously. But we don't see what we see. We see a system too broken to fix. So, we're building our own. To every student who feels stuck in the system that wasn't built for them. We hear you.
