i’m 17 years old and practically today, january 9, 2026, while i’m writing this, i made the biggest decision of my life. i decided to leave high school because i consider it a complete waste of time, and i believe my time can be used to learn and do what will actually make the difference. this is a huge decision, both psychologically and for my family. it can go well, and on december 31, 2026 i’ll thank god for having taken this decision. or it can go wrong, and i could end up being just another failure living on mercy. i’m writing this while my hands are literally shaking. you don’t know what this means to me. since i was very young, i’ve always been here trying to build things, trying to make something work. nothing has worked so far. this is my last shot. either i make it work, or i die trying. after talking with my family, we agreed on this: if i don’t make it work this year, i’ll drop everything, go back, finish high school, and study a career. but i can’t let my life end like that. i can’t give the reason to the people who didn’t believe in me. i need you to know this: i’m going to make it. from today, i have exactly 4 months and 6 days before i turn 18. i have a big goal: make $100k before 18, meaning in these 4 months. right now the progress is 3.5%, which is $3,500 generated. this will be a time of hibernation, but in the opposite way. i’m not planning to lose this game. you’ll see me win. remember this. my skills are next.js, hono, typescript, postgresql, tailwind. i don’t really like anything, but i enjoy building, doing marketing, talking to customers, talking to top people. i hate failure, but i’m not afraid of it. honestly, i think i’m good for nothing, but in a world of sasukes, i’ll be rock lee.
