School Is Back. But I’m Not the Same.
On the first day of summer break, I made a bet with myself.
Not for marks. Not for money.
But for identity.
The bet was simple:
If I take 60 days and go all in-learning, building, creating-would I come out the same person?
Now I know the answer: no.
The bricks no one see
It wasn’t some big, cinematic transformation.
It was small, unglamorous moments stacked on top of each other:
Day 7
Sitting in front of a python lesson I didn’t understand. I was soo about to quit, not even lying. But I replayed it three times.
One concept finally clicked.
That tiny win kept me alive.
Day 21
Midnight. Blank page for my book.
My brain whispered: “Tomorrow.”
But tomorrow is where dreams go to die. I wrote anyway.
That page became one of my best scenes.
Day 36
I looked at myself in the mirror after pushing through a day I thought I’d fail.
For the first time in months,
I felt…
proud.
That moment mattered more than any external validation.
Day 50
Opened my email list.
Saw 100+ people had subscribed.
A hundred real humans.
It didn’t feel like a number—it felt like happiness.
No fireworks. Just bricks.
But bricks build walls.
And walls change who you are.
The line I can’t shake
And now, as you’re reading this, I’m actually sitting in class again.
School is back.
The holiday experiment is over.
Real life begins again.
But here’s the twist: I didn’t walk back the same person who left two months ago.
What 60 days gave me
Yes, I learned:
Content creation
Video editing
115+ newsletter readers
A book in motion
But those are just results.
The real gift was
Proof.
Proof that I can reinvent myself in 60 days.
Proof that consistency beats talent.
Proof that I don’t need permission, or the “perfect time,” or to “wait until I’m older.”
Proof that I can change who I am-
on demand.
Once you’ve seen that kind of proof, you can’t turn back.
Why this matters to you
Here’s the truth: I’m not special.
I had schoolwork. Doubts. Nights I wanted to quit.
The only difference?
I stayed.
I stacked bricks when it felt pointless.
And that’s where most people miss it.
Transformation isn’t one giant leap.
It’s boring steps, repeated.
And then one day, you look in the mirror-
and you don’t recognize who you’ve become.
Think about it:
If you worked on your health for 60 days, how different would your body feel?
If you read every day for 60 days, how much sharper would your mind be?
If you practiced one skill daily for 60 days, how unstoppable would you get?
You already know the answer.
The next challenge
Summer was the training ground.
School is the battlefield.
Anyone can grind when time is free.
But can you keep building when life gets messy, when deadlines pile up, when people expect you to stay the same?
That’s the real test.
And that’s the test I’m stepping into right now.
Your 60 days
Here’s my challenge to you:
Pick one thing.
One skill. One habit. One area of life.
And give it 60 days.
Not perfectly. Not flawlessly.
Just daily bricks.
Because you are always one focused streak away from becoming someone unrecognizable.
So yeah. School is back.
But I’m not back.
I’m forward.
And this is just the start.
I’m also turning this experience into a video for my YouTube channel;
sharing the lessons, the struggles, and the small victories from these 60 days.
