I still managed to pull some recognition, like having spots at important exhibitions, arriving in the top 3% during the 42 selection (one month of coding 24/7, while watching Rick & Morty, Mr Robot and the Ghost in the Shell series every night) or complete 6 month of art work in 5 days and receive congratulations. But I didn’t get my diploma form these schools (I have a few online diplomas).
I am grateful for the years that I spent there, even if I didn’t get the paper achievement. I learnt heavily about the world, and that’s already paid off much more than a diploma.
