My Biggest Goal for 2026
With a new year knocking at our door, new goals are set and new paths begin to open. In my case, this new goal is called learning how to program. more specifically, JavaScript. I chose this language because of its importance and continued relevance in today’s world.
When I was a child, I often found myself thinking about what my future would be like. I could clearly picture the kind of person I would become — the clothes I would wear, the way I would think and behave. Then we grow up and realize that, deep down, we are still children and have no real idea of what we’re doing. I feel just as lost and hopeful about my future as I did back then. I often catch myself wondering who I will become and what my routine will look like. What my work will be like, and what my family will be like too.

The biggest difference is that today I understand that only through study and dedication can we actually reach the future we imagine. Simply wandering through the realm of our minds won’t take us anywhere.
Studying superficial things with chatbots doesn’t truly bring us knowledge or clarity. We have to use these tools carefully, or we will — respectfully — learn it the hard way.
My journey into the world of programming has already begun. I’ve taken some introductory classes and learned a few commonly used terms, such as let, alert, and prompt. But next year, the goal is to get much better. To create new projects from scratch and be able to say that you actually know what you’re doing. At the moment, I’m studying through Alura, but I plan to use other resources as well. I want to fully dive into this field and discover everything I can create through programming.
I wish you all a happy new year and that you reach all of your goals. Happy 2026, everyone! :)
